Crazy Weekend II....back with a vengence!

Sooo, I usually try to keep from whining, complaining, and being a downer on my blog... NOT TODAY JUNIOR!!! IT'S MY BLOG SO I CAN CRY IF WANT TO! Anywho this weekend was a lot like last one..... The cool parts were Carrie and I had a random chance able to hang with the Dyer's Friday. I was really blessed by yesterday's chaplaincy meeting. I was really blessed to hear about the restoritive justice program....I saw a flyer for Winona County looking for volunteers and was praying about and had many questions that were answered yesterday....
Then I went to work....bumbumbuh!!!!
It was supposed to be busy and we usually have six cooks on the line. The some circumstances out of my control we were wittled to four good cooks.... What was alright I can deal with it.((it's the foodservice you learn to make do(and God is still on throne even if I am short two cooks)so how do you like the parenthesis?)) Then it got crazy, our main drain,(let's all be adults here....) that is connected to the hotel froze backing up the whole system. We soon hand standing water in the resteraunt(Sp?) I had cooks walking in 2-3" on water....oh yeah.... too make a long story short several shop vacs full of water, a few confrontations, and couple of phone calls later finally we got a plumber and he was able to get the drains snaked... Disaster diverted... Then I was able to go sleep with my two faithful kitties...
So I woke up this morning made some coffee and thought finally I get to sit through a Bible study in Menomonie, Praise God.(I missed last Sunday and Wednesday because of the weather.) I went out started the car, got some donuts, and started heading for Jesus Fellowship when I heard a strange noise.... caaarap it is a flat tire... Oh Well, I smiled to myself thinking I will just change it out and try to brave it on the spare... I started jacking up the car and something didn't seem quite right so I started letting it down.... Meanwhile... I see a vehicle that looks a lot like someone I know drive pass me... I then ponder if it was him or not... yep.. has Wisconsin License Plates....must be... Then I finish letting the car down I get to the bottom and my jack snaps in half.... Not so good what do I do now? Well, you look at your back tire and see that is flat too!! Sooo, I wait for help... no help. I have no choice but to drive on it....I drive a little ways and then the heavens open up and I see house that has three extra large Garages. I bet He has a hydraulic jack... he did and came and helped me out...
I just got a hold of Carrie on the phone. I'm still alive and God is still good.....

Ta Ta Fa na....

Um, you were missed. But it's understandable that someone had to stay home with the baby. (Ask your wife!)

Seriously, though. That sucks. Whine now and get it out of your system big guy!

To quote Zophar out of Job, "If He (God) comes along and confines you in a prison and convenes a court, who can oppose Him? Surely He recognizes deceitful men; and when He sees evil, does He not take note?" -Job 11:10-11 Officially taken out-of-context for the sake of a joke.
Just repent, brother, and you'll have no more troubles!!! LOL.

PS- For anyone out there who doesn't know this, the Bible does NOT teach this doctrine and I was only making a funny.

Ryobi-
Hang in there, man!!!

"the heavens opened"...that is hilarious. They opened for me once when a strange hunter appeared in a truck to rip the smashed deer out from under the grill of my van and carry on like it was every day's business...
