Day 15 - Wayne's World

Well, today I woke up to another crisp morning in Abilene. And I forgot to ask my three word prayer, "Surprise me, God." There. I said it. Unburdened of guilt, I continue...

This was the day for dropping off the wrecked auto at the repair shop. On the way I found out the ride home I thought I had wasn't going to happen.

So, no problem. I'll call another friend and he'll be able to pick me up. No answer on the cell phone.

No worries. There's plenty of people at work. Someone will be able to make the 5 minute drive over and back...except all I'm getting is the overnight answering machine.

O.K., it's about 29 degrees out, winds out of the north at 15 mph, and all I'm wearing is a light sweater...

I arrive at the body shop and the first question out of Wayne's mouth is, "Do you need a ride anywhere?" I love Abilene. To be more exact, I love the people of Abilene.

From a frantic search and frayed nerves to "taken care of" - in the time it takes to ask a question. I thought about that during "Wayne's ride." I was thankful. I was also curious as to how many times I'm in that position each week - to provide the "taken care of" part of the equation. Jesus seems to have been about that part of the equation. Wayne, thanks for showing me Jesus.
