cats and fires

I had an excellent day today. Does excellent mean productive? No, no it does not. It means that it was satisfying. Satisfying in the sense that I had no qualms with it. You could be asking yourself, “why would you want to study on a Friday, didn’t you decisively not take class on that day, for that very purpose?” To which I would say, “yes, but that means that I will have to study on Saturday.” I’m okay with that though. I did get some work done though. After I got in a little Bible time, and things of the sort, I went out to my car. Ya see, a while ago I destroyed my horn, by repeatedly hitting it with my fist out of frustration when I was driving to Canton Ohio to visit my friend Sarah. ~CLICK HERE~ to see the trip, and understand why I got so frustrated with directions, and GPS batteries (or lack there of), and what not. So, the steering wheel has had this extremely sharp metal sticking out of the top of it for quite some time, and today I took a stand against it. First, by bending the metal back into the plastic part of the middle of the steering wheel (there is no airbag. . . it’s a 93 Tempo). That is what the picture above is depicting. Then, I just got a roll of duck tape, and taped the heck out of that thing. It's not sharp to the touch any more.I went back to work at 3, there is a card game at work called Car Wars. It is amazing because it keeps the kids busy for hours, they also have to read what their cards say, and subtract damage from all sides of their cars. It is really quite nifty that they enjoy it so much.

Once I got home I played with my feline friend Molly. Molly has made an appearance on my BLOG before. She came on about 6 months ago, and I remember giving her a bowl of milk, ever sense, she has just kind of viewed our property as a second home. She belongs to our neighbor, and is very friendly and can hunt birds, so even though I am not a cat person at all, this one is okay with me. ~CLICK HERE~ to see her last appearance on my BLOG about 6 months ago, her picture and description is towards the bottom of the post. Check out these picture I took of her.

There is that "no tail" rear end of hers.

The night ended with a camp fire, and some good talk with my friend George. We just talked for hours, got some good talk in too. Productive stuff, I see a lot in George. Christ is surly working in him.

The cat house I guess??

After I visited Snider High School today, I was driving back to campus, when I came up to a busy intersection. It is especially busy during, near, and right after lunch time. Well, there was a lady broke down in the front of the turning lane. There was a whole line of people super upset with her, but not willing to get out and help. So, I drove by and yelled, "hey, can I help you push your car to the gas station?" She had this look of relief on her face, so I told her I would be right there. She had her small son with her as well. Her son was, ohhh maybe 8. LOL. I parked my car and crossed heavy traffic and came up to her. Only to find her young son in the drivers seat, and her ready to push the car with me. I assured her I wouldn't have any problem pushing her car, and asked if she would please steer the vehicle. She agreed, and as soon as we got the arrow, I PUSHED and PUSHED and PUSHED the car through the intersection, through the Speedway gas station, and she continues to say, "keep going, just a little further," I mean she had used the braked several times....and my legs were turning to jellow. As soon as we got directly in front of the gas station, this big guy came and helped me out. It all worked out just fine and dandy. :-)

Good work, today. I got to talking about EYES with several of the kids. We talked about how pretty eyes can be. To prove my poing, I was taking pictures of different kid's eyes, and showing them off. Check out this little girls eyes. Very pretty mix of blueish green & brown. Even better that my work day was my WORK OUT session at the YMCA. I saw two guys I had not seen in forever. One of them was one of the guys I spoke about who I thought was "ignoring" me. We talked and talked and remembered old times. The other guy, I hadn't seen in quite some time. We talked about God, and the impact he is having in our lives. Great talks really.

Then I come home to ms Kitty.This is not the same cat, because this one is not a Siamese, and it has a very short stub for a tail. This cat had bells and a tag with phone number on it. Very super friendly too. I played with her for a bit.

My days are tiring, but satisfying. I can't wait to this weekend. Big Young Life volenteers get together thingy. If I only hadn't lost my bathing suite.....DO'OH!!!!!
