so -- you may have noticed post posting from post's phone early this morning, and you may be doing the math now thinking "this is < 20"

well..

about 180 miles into my commute, at about 75mph something like this was thrown into the air at my drivers window by a van a few lengths ahead of me and one lane over to my right..

((stock photo, lol - not actual debris))

i swerved to the left to avoid it, but it impacted my headlight and front airdam on the passenger side, rolled under the wheel and bent up the body bracing behind the wheelwell, destroying the headlight & bumper and knocking a hole in the radiator.

everyone is OK, but Kiki ((post's car)) is now in the 'car hospital' and all my passengers are wide awake...

so without post & company, the job i was sent to do was cancelled, and after hanging around in a truckstop for a few hours, making ninja-posts from my phone, a colleague arrived to take us all back home.

gee guys, thanks for the "prayers"




























hahaha
;)

no really -- seeing me calm in the face of all this impacted my colleagues and the time i got to spend with my area manager who came to pick us up and drive me all the way back home was fruitful & opened a lot of doors. and this is a thing that could have been a lot worse than it was, but was just bad enough to keep us from working all day. i know for sure this is what God had planned for me and everyone else today - seeing that playing out already in ways i can't ((and/or shouldn't)) really post, and it is for the good.

i love you, and see! the Lord cares for me :)
Glad you are all o.k. sorry for car.... Day off from work!!!

Playing nicely. That is what is on my mind. Here is what I can't understand. When some people talk about biblical topics how is it that they can be so cutting and cruel to others who do not share their views? Shouldn't it be the hallmark of Christians that our words are seasoned with grace? We should be able to talk about anything, and be patient and kind. We should be intelligent and able to challenge each other in a positive way but there is no place for being insulting or condescending. I've jumped out of a few threads, not because they disagreed with my viewpoint, but a few were being so rude that no real conversation could happen. How can some be so disagreeable while claiming a relationship with Christ? I say that knowing my own faults, and I can give a list if asked, but my thoughts are on how we treat each other here, in the church and in life in general. That is what is on my mind and rather than a critique it is a sincere bid to discuss how we could model our faith when we interact with each other.
(Personally I've had really nice contact with people here and the one that was sharp with me was kind after I explained myself.) I mean this with no tone.

i bought her earlier this year used and she already had some small cracks and scuffs in the bumper, which honestly bothered me. now she gets a whole new one!

mine has a few of those that came with it also

I will get my husband to back up into it by accident for new parts

he has shown an aptitude for that sort of thing
