jehovah jireh

so there i was, 6 a.m. wednesday morning, loading my car up quickly but quietly, in a moderate hurry to leave on time. finally i got everything loaded up and i drove to pick up ricky. when he was all loaded up we took off for campmeeting. as soon as we entered the freeway, we both heard a disturbing clunking sound coming from what sounded like the top of my car. we looked at each other, then in the rearview mirror and discovered that my laptop was flying through the air like a piece of cardboard. we immediately stopped the car, and ran back to the computer like excited children running towards a soccer ball. we discovered that the thing still worked except for a little less than half of the lcd. so i kept it. who wouldn't?

then we arrived here at campmeeting and within hours i found out that there were a bunch of old computer monitors sitting by the main auditorium with 'free' signs on them.

so here i sit with my laptop and a huge bulky monitor typing away, taking care of business. so my laptop still works perfectly, it just got a bit bigger.

this story inspires this phrase:

JEHOVAH JIREH! - the lord will provide!

roadtripping to southern! Tara is going to school there so she needs a driving buddy! i need to make a good driving mix because i don't think i could possibly listen to the same mixes the whole way there and back again. :)As much as i like the songs.
