28 Mar 07 Praying For Patience

"Lord, please give me patience and give it to me now!" 

Which ever one of you is praying for me to have patience can stop.

I’ve changed.  I’m patient.

Four trips to Jiffy Lube to get a smog inspection.  Nothing was wrong with the van - the difficulties were all on their end.

Visit # 1 - smog tech hasn’t shown up yet.  Visit # 2 - smog machine needs to be recalibrated.  Visit # 3 - we are being audited by the smog police.  Visit # 4 - success.

Then there was the late night excursion to the truck stop.  I arrived promptly at 10:15PM.  I followed the cashier instructions and drove on to the scale.  I pushed the button and was told over the intercom - "there’s something wrong with the scale, you’ll need to come back tomorrow night."

Of course.  But I’ve changed, I’m patient.

So stop praying, whoever it is!
