My birthday was this last Friday. My wife, whom I love soooooooooooooo much, gave me a PlayStation 2 along with Rock Band!!! Did I mention I love her so much? Since I have a passion for music, I really enjoy the experience of Rock Band. I also got myself Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
I'm having a blast!!!

What can happen when God shows up?
On February 29, my wife and I were involved in an auto accident in downtown South Bend. After we submitted our claim with the auto insurance company, State Farm, the car (2001 Pontiac Grand Prix) was deemed a total loss. State Farm sent money to the credit union to pay off the rest of the loan and then they are sending my wife and I the remaining amount which totals the current market value of the car, about $6,000.00. I owed about $4,000.00 to the credit union, so we get about $2,000.00. Just yesterday the salvage company came and took the car away. This looks like a bad thing.
This all was a blessing in disguise.
I took the day off on Tuesday to make sure we had all our ducks in order with State Farm, the title transfer, and all that. Then we decided to go to Tyler's in Niles to see what they had. We were connected with a young sales person named Adam and he began us on a journey that I didn't even expect. My wife and I were shown a few different cars. I did find out that Adam is also a follower of Christ...BONUS! To make a long story short, God showed up yesterday and worked all things together so that my wife and I drove home a 2003 Chrysler 300M! This car is black with black leather interior and loaded! More so than what we had in the Grand Prix. If you clicked on the link, you can see this car has a current market value of around $14,000.00. I was able to get it for around $10,500! Indeed, I'm convinced God showed up yesterday and made all of it happen the way it did. I can say this, Becka is sure smiling! :)

Safe? Who said anything about this life being safe?
Indeed, I don't recall anyone really saying this life we live is safe. Of course, I'm really talking about the life in Christ. It's anything but safe. It's dangerous, risky, wild, and passionate. This is the very nature of life. It is an adventure. You just never know what will happen next.
Last night my wife and I went to an REO Speedwagon concert in South Bend, IN. As we were looking for a parking spot, we got hit/rubbed by another car. I had pulled into what I thought was a parking spot, but then saw the yellow paint on the curb and realized I had pulled into a crosswalk. I wasn't in a valid parking spot. So I began to back up and WHAM! The damage was not all that bad to the car. I never even saw the other car until after it all happened. This makes me think maybe the other driver was just going too fast. We waited for the police to arrive so a report could be made. After that, my wife and I were free to go. We did go to the concert.
This whole experience just proves how life is dangerous. Life can happen so quick that you don't even see it coming. This also reminded me of just how desperately dependent on God I am. I am so thankful that no one was hurt.
