| Due to the downness of the Blogger site at this moment, I here compose the daily (or so) blog of mine.
This morning I was in a rush to finish a project, so I paid 2 bucks to park in the College Main Garage to save a few minutes. This evening, as I opened yesterday's mail, I found an unexpected follow-up letter from a survey I had filled out months ago. From among the folded sheets of blue and white paper emerged a brand-spanking-new $2.00 bill, a gift for my participation. Funky.
But that's not all! Getting on the bus to go home, I ran into my roommate Paul, who I also had run into going home yesterday, for the first time this semester.
As we rode back, I was anxious, as I had a meeting to go to at church and I was cutting it close in time. The bus closed it doors to leave its first stop, and then the memory hit me, "I'm parked right here!" I jumped up, catching the driver's backward glance, and with a quick, "I forgot I parked here today," to my roommate, I was out.
Thus was wrought the second hugely-obvious providence of the day. Not only did the absolute convenience of my car's location shave time off over having been parked at my duplex, but if I had ridden to my normal stop, I would have had to hitched a ride back to my car, spending time I didn't have. As it worked out, I was able to grab my car, eat some Mickey D's in the restaurant, and arrive at the meeting at exactly time! And at Mickey's, I ran into Bobby, another of my three roomates. Such wonderful and unpredictable plans God has!
Ciao. |
