Car update

We have our car back. It runs fine.

Even though the gas gauge was just below a quarter tank, and no fuel light came on, the tank was bone dry. I had mentioned something to Frank about bringing a gas can just in case on Friday night. He didn’t do it and I forgot all about it.

We towed it to the Browns’ house, ready to look into the possibility of a fuel filter or fuel pump problem. Dale (Frank’s brother) suggested that we try gas – just in case. We added two gallons and the car started right up!

God sure has His ways of putting us in our place and showing us how much we need Him and His community! He has shown me countless times this week how He is my Provider – through little stuff, like going to see Episode III (hopefully I’ll actually get to post about it today), to larger stuff like the car issue and countless other acts!

It’s still embarrassing, though!

    Cowbells and Carousels Originally uploaded by mattdantodd. For the third year in a row, we went to the Appalachian Fair. Other than the Fall Festival, I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily the fair/carnival kinda guy. It was fun to watch the kids, though. Blair and Paula came with us, and we also hooked up with Nancy…

  • O Christmas Tree…

    After hunting for only a few minutes at the tree farm on Sunday, we found the perfect tree. The entire trip was probably only a half an hour. It took longer for us to get the tree in the stand at home than it did for us to choose it and have it cut down….
