Of dents and whispers....

  Well for my first real blog post....I am going spiritual! ahhaah Be prepared this is RM stuff...hahah Not really just one of those experiences that you have in life. Here i go.

  Shandi came down for a delightful adventure with some of my best friends. Well after running to walmart and other such places we were to meet up at the house of my best friend Tyrel. Upon arriving at Tyrel's residence I saw my other best friend Taylor Sucese Parked in the drive way. I had that feeling thay maybe i should park as well in the drive way. Well i probably would have, but there was a sloo of teens playing some b-ball so reason kicked in. I didn't want to be a pest and ruin their game.
   So i parked on the road. Thinking nothing of it. Well after greeting Taylor she left to go get some more friends. Comes to find out she was backing up....and well.... backed into my nicely parked car....note that i have had the car for 2 weeks. Dorris lasted like 5 years without damage and Eleanor lasted two weeks....i hate irony. The damage wasn't fatal and i only ended up with a dent and my side view mirror broken. No one was hurt and repairs will be made. Friends have been forgiven. ;)
   What gets me is that thought i had right before i parked. What would have happened if i had parked in the drive way....? If i had followed that quiet prompting and listened. I should be a pro at this. I am a returned missionary for heavens sake. That's the thing though. It doesn't matter who we are. This kinda thing happens to us all. Whether we are returned missionaries or primary teachers. We all have that right to listen and if we don't we get dents. That's what i learned out of all this. I need to listen better. And not let reason take over. Its  so hard...but in the end, it makes all the difference. Comes to find out my car wasn't the only thing that got dented today....

  1. So a little over month ago I was very sad to drop my new ITOUCH on the road just 2 days before my plan to buy the new rubber case. I was lucky...APPLE took pity and I promised to never take off that case. Well vain little me didn't like how it was taking off the plastic front in the corners. Soooo once in a while I would take it off to let it try to seal down again.
    Two weeks ago I had a thought in the morning to put that cover back on. I thought naaaa it's been fine this long and I am just visiting some local places with a friend. Yup you guessed it...my friend dropped it right on the rocks. To be honest it didn't even surprise me and I coudln't even get mad. My own fault and I knew it. When will we learn...I am guessing never, but hopefully get a little wiser mistake by mistake. IPod #3 here we go :)
