Monday, Monday...
Typical icky Monday. First thing this morning I was informed that our computer system was going to be down at work for about a half hour. Turned out to be an hour, but needless to say during that time we had to write down orders and total everything up so when the system came back up they could be entered in the computer. Pain in the butt. Fortunately the rest of the work day wasn't that bad, once we got over that hurdle.
I have been having problems with my car for a while. I need a new radiator, that unfortunately is around $300 not including labor, witch I probably won't come up with anytime soon. Yesturday I checked my fluid levels and decided to put a old thermostat in, big mistake. On the way home this afternoon it overheated big time. I ended up on the side of the road a couple of miles from the house. I of course knew what needed to be done so I got to work. Naturally I had to wait a while for it to cool down enough so I could more water/antifreeze in, replaced the thermostat and I was on my way back home. One of my neighbors happened by, stopped to see if he could help and I told him I had it covered. About ten minuets later a stranger stopped to see if he could help, as I was finishing up. We talked for a few minuets, talking about car stuff. I think he was surprised I knew what I was doing. Good to know that there are still some folks out there willing to stop to help a lady out. Probably 50 or so cars went by, and out of them 2 people stopped. One of those things that make you go hmmmm. Now days everyone has cell phones, so I guess most people think who ever may be on the side of the road is taken care of. I do have a cell phone, but didn't have very many options of anyone to call. My neighbors who normally help out in this kind of situation are out of town, so if I had not known what to do, I would have hiked the 2 miles home, probably.
I'm in a bit of a funky mood today for some reason, so here is my input for the day.
Psalm 27
Of David.
The Lord is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh,
When my enemies and my foes attack me, They will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear.
Though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek;
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Hear my voice when I call, O Lord;
Be merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"
Your face Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
You have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me,
Oh God my Savior.
Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will recieve me.
Teach me your way, O Lord;
Lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise
up against me, breathing out violence.
I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
