GPS

My daughter Athena called me before I left to let me know Sprint has GPS (Global Position System) capability for some of their phones which might help me find myself when traveling. I checked that out, but my phone is not "java enabled," so I can't get it.

Richard pointed out that I have yet to learn how to manage call waiting or text messaging, so I might have problems using a more complex system like GPS. True.

I need GPS, though. My newly devised navigational strategy, which consists of a consecutive list of highways I am to take, has not worked so well after all. I was lost twice today. Once, I turned off I-10 to look for a ham sandwich and somehow never found the sandwich or the freeway. I wandered on a county road (CR2434 which is not on my map) praying to find any numbered highway... some time later, I was on another road and LO, there was I-10! Prayers answered!!

The next time, I am not sure when I left the freeway, I don't recall doing that, but I was on some road heading north. I had not gotten to whatever big city is west of Houston (I can't think of it right now) but finally, I found a numbered highway and made my way back down to I-10 about 50 or so miles west of the big city. Again, folks have been praying for me and God is hearing... I now have GPS God's Position System!

I am still in Texas. Tired but happy and very blessed. My little car now has over 102,000 miles and has never had a problem, well, only a small one once. This trip has been good. God has been good!!!
