We didn't go to church today because The Wife didn't want to... therefore, I didn't have my regular "thinking" time (you know, during the sermon). Well, I could have gone to church but my new favorite church only meets on the first Sunday of the month (which, I admit, plays a big part in why it's my new favorite church).
Now that I think of it... My favorite preacher at my new favorite church will preach one time this month. My favorite brother (who is a middle school teacher) will preach at his church 4 times this month. Interesting...
So I was asked for an example of when I felt God's presence. Here it is: Back in 2004 I was driving to a baseball game in Conway. I was on Highway 17 just past Georgetown. Here is the ironic thing... before I had reached Georgetown, I was talking on my cellphone while eating and changing into my uniform (I was an assistant coach at the time). Oh, and it was raining. But I didn't get into an accident then, because I'm that good of a driver (and there weren't any cars around... maybe it had more to do with a lack of cars...). So anyway, I stopped to get some gas (and throw away my trash) at a gas station in Georgetown. It wasn't raining anymore and traffic wasn't too bad. I start driving and things are normal. Just past Georgetown I get in the left hand lane to pass a guy. Out of nowhere, the guy goes to make a U-turn (from the right hand lane). I used my Jedi-like reflexes to maneuver my truck around him. Just when I thought I might pull it off, his SUV hit my truck on my right rear tire. That's when the fun started. The truck rolled multiple times and at one point slide upside down for a little while. After all of that, all I had was a scratched elbow. Here are some pics...
