I have scarred and defaced my mother's car...
Thats right, I got in my first accident that was my fault. There goes my pride of being a non-neglegent driver.
Spring Break hasn't been that restful afterall. I've had agenda after agenda to fill, now I know what cousin meant when she needed a Spring Break after Spring Break. Why do we do this to ourselves cousin? I need a Sabbath or something.
Today I am calling insurance agents, body shops, and rental car places vigorously as I attempt to restitiute for my failed avoidance of an accident. What happened? Well, I was driving merrily along (perhaps TOO merrily) as I was going to pick mom up from work. After picking her up, we were due to pick up my own car from the shop, which was there for maintainence work. Well, Downtown Houston is cold, dark, and scarry when one doesn't know his way around town. I was just a few blocks away from my mom's building when I gaze over my left shoulder to catch a glance of the street sign to make sure this was the street I was to be on. Well, next thing I know, I look back over the steering wheel to see a Mazda Rx-8 gaining close proximaty at a ravishing speed. I slammed on the brakes, my ABS system clicked away, and then I found myself in the trunk of the sports car. Ok, so wait, the sports car took on hardly any damage...really. A few scratches and dings. Prolly about $500 worth of damage. Wait, sports car, probably about 1million dollars worth of damage. Mom's car? Woah... I pushed the bumper back to the radiator. That sucker was steaming all over the place when I was finished with that accident. Bumper, fender, headlight, hood, radiator...all damaged.
You know, I didn't think about this forced implication until now. Following Christ can end up like this a lot of times. From the interstate, I was able to find my way to mom's building the entire time. The one time I look away to see what path I am on, I wreck hard. Think about that one.
How's God blessed your life today?

I remember when I messed up the front of my car. But I was 3 hours from home in a little Town Creek, Alabama. I was traumatized. My mommy and daddy came to save me! Now my car is nice and happy!!
