Off Kilter

Discontent. Something's amiss. Darfur, AIDs in Africa, opression, Iraq, hunger, human trafficking, guns, global warming.

Discontent. Something's stirring. God, love, compassion, serve, give, feast, water, breathe, beauty shining.

Out with the Old, In with the New...well sort of New...

We got rid of the piece of poo!! You know...the Oldsmobile Cutlass that will probably be the cause of Russ and I going gray prematurely. But yes, we found a great deal, traded in that thing, and drove away in a 2003 Kia Sorento, without taking a single glance back.

Check it out. It's champagne-colored and wonderful, and I will never bad mouth SUVs again, because I have one. tee.hee.

And to top it all off, a man from our church is loaning us a 1987 Nissan truck to use for awhile. So we have two vehicles now! What a kiss from God! He is our Provida'! So guess who is driving the Nissan beat-up truck.....Russ, of course!! Guess who gets the new Kia Sorento to drive around--his high maintenance wife, MEEEEE!!!

I know material things aren't supposed to make us happy, but I've got to say, I was pretty darn blissful after this exciting purchase.

Guess reality will set in June 10th when we make our first payment.
