Hello. Well today was interesting. I broke my car. Kinda. I was driving home and hit a rock. Now I was taking a shortcut on a dirt road and going fast (not speeding) but fast enough to know that swerving or stopping was not really a great option. And what should loom ahead but a rock. Now I was running through all the scenarios that I could, and honestly hitting the smallish looking rock seemed like the best one. I was not really keen on hitting the ditch from rashly stopping or swerving. So hit the rock I did. Well not sure how great of an idea that was because I ruptured the oil pan on my car, possibly. I mean that is probably exactly what happened because when i put more oil in my car with my billet it went directly to the driveway underneath… And all this happened within an hour and a half of my evening club…
But God is good, and God provides! I phoned my evening club host and told him I was not entirely certain I would make it out to his club tonight. I had to call a towing company and my parents and somehow drive 15 minutes into town, in an undrivable car. Well he is a pretty neat guy and picked me up for club! I was so thankful!!! Once I got to his club I had to go collect the regular one kid that shows up. But we convinced another chap to join us and I think he’ll be back again tomorrow!!!
I still had no kids at my Waldeck club, but all my other clubs have grown a little bit in number! God has been so faithful. I am so excited to teach all these kids. I can not express enough how nice it is to teach kids you have taught before. So I keep bothering the kids to bring specific ones I know back to club this year. My parents also drove out to Swift Current with a vehicle I could borrow, (and not destroy) for the rest of the week.
I have a nickname from some friends that they have attributed to my love of Murphy’s Law… “Anything that can go wrong, will.” I will admit that I blame Murphy for a lot of things that I can attribute to my own lack of paying attention, or klutziness. Its nice having a nonexistent fall guy, but I think Murphy’s Law has been exploited so people don’t have to take responsibility for their actions. I being one of those people. I think I will not be so eager to blame this nonentity for my bad decisions. Today was certainly no feat of Murphy.
Anyway that was my very exhilarating evening. The oil remains of my dear car Humphrey now stain my billets driveway. Hopefully the engine is not ruined though. I hope everyone is having a great second week!
