Good Stuff
Rain! We needed it. We've prayed for it. We finally got it. Of course, we need more.
The only downside to this mornings rain besides of course, that we need more, is that our Bible class was cancelled. I went over to the church anyway. The weather has never stopped me from trying to go. I've gotten myself in trouble a few times over that, but that's for another blog on another day.
I cleaned at the church and planned to clean at home, too, but by the time I had my lunch with the Lord (I do my Bible study and prayer with lunch) I was sleepy and napped away for about two hours.
One of the highlights of my day was discovering http://www.macheist.com/bundle/u/315105/ where I found some great solutions for managing my iPhone apart from iTunes and recording my old tapes into MP3, Quicktime or any other format I want. I was able to solve some other problems, too, plus there were some cool Mac aps and games I really liked. All for $39! NOW THAT I'VE TRIED THEM, I CAN RECOMMEND THEM TO YOU. If you have a Mac, I sincerely suggest you check this out.
Speaking of good deals, am I the only one on the planet that didn't know about the 49ยข hamburger Wednesdays at McDonald's? We were on one of our wandering around adventures last Wednesday and stopped at McDonalds to grab a quick bite. Wow! What a great deal!
The best deal of all, though, was the manna-like provision of God. Here's the story... a after driving all sorts of wilderness roads like we do, we discovered it was late and we were virtually out of gas. We usually both watch the gauge as we drive, but HE didn't notice until the low fuel light came on. We asked the Garmin to find the closest gas station. It wasn't close and before we got to it, our car switched from telling us how many miles before Empty to flashing the LOW FUEL light. We prayed we would make the station 42 miles away... and we made it!
But when we got to the station, it was closed. We prayed and kept driving. Finally, after even more miles, we found an open station. All the time we drove, we saw only one other car. It took 15.7 gallons to fill the tank, which the manual says holds about 15 gallons but not all can be drawn from the tank. In effect, considering how far we drove after each of the warnings kicked in, we should have run out of gas long before we made it to the station.
