    Y'all ever have one of those days where you just a Y'all ever have one of those days where you just ask why?  Headed home from work today, was in a bit of a mood from things I had no control over in my personal life.  So I cross these railroad tracks I've crossed a hundred times and hear an odd "PING" sound from my front right tire.  I didn't pay attention until the tire pressure light came on and the WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP sound arose from my front end.  So I pull over and sure enough the tire is flat.  I roll the car back and forth, turn the wheel, can't find the hole.  I hook up the pump with the fix a flat that Honda provides instead of a spare tire and wouldn't you know it I punched a hole clear through the sidewall.  I call the insurance, order roadside assistance and wait.  I'm across from a gas station, I haven't had nicotine in weeks, I could really use a smoke right now.  Instead I prayed and asked my brothers in Christ to pray.  The need faded.  So I waited for the tow, and a gentleman in a beat up old pickup showed up to assist.  I had a spare at home, which was a half hour away, so he gave me a lift.  I'll say the conversation we had was probably some of the best conversation I've had since I moved South (a year ago today in fact). So we collect the tire and the tools, and head back.  More conversation ensued, why not?  We swap the tires around on my car and after we head off on our merry ways I start to hear the WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP again.  Turned out I just needed to torque the lugs down the rest of the way.  So I'm thinking, I decided a short time ago that I wouldn't drink alone anymore... But after this evening I could really use a whiskey.  Well I'm filthy dirty, my hands are black, I'm not walking into a liquor store in this state.  So here I am, tired, hungry, but thankful.  I dare say the Lord popped my tire so I could be challenged by nicotine, challenged by alcohol, challenged by patience, and have a great conversation I wouldn't have had otherwise... I also realized the thing I was upset about to begin with really wasn't anything I could control so why let myself get so upset about it?  Thank God for God.  I do hope this all made sense.  I need some dinner now. God bless!
