I Love The Holy Ghost!

Last week, as we were getting ready for our big Schern family campout, I was filling up the gas tank on the Exxon Valdez (ginormous old Chevy truck) and I kept thinking, "I should gas up the burb too, I think we should take both cars." Then of course the thoughts that follow are of what a waste in gas that is, it's not necessary, yadda yadda yadda. I went and told Jason that I think I should drive too and we kind of laughed at each other that it's probably a prompting and that we'll have car problems. Sure enough, after a super fun weekend of camping, (pictures will come soon, right Cindy?) 10 minutes into the trip home the engine on the truck totally blew up! For you mechanically inclined: it blew a piston rod, whatever that means, I guess it's super bad. We were able to hitch the trailer to the Suburban and limp the truck home at 30 miles an hour. Not being comfortable pulling the 30 foot trailer, (if you don't know that back story.......) I got to drive the truck! What an adventure. I was grateful that our listening skills were in tune enough that we went ahead and took the other car, definitely a tender mercies moment!
