Where Ya Been Rich?

Let's see, in the last week, the wife and two of the kids had strep. I had a job interview. The van broke down on Thursday. Oh yeah, and the hot water heater died sometime while we slept last night. I was telling a guy church about the hot water heater, he already knew the rest, and he just started to laugh hysterically. It was very appropriate. It's like, what else can go wrong? I have to try to laugh myself to keep from crying. I don't like to have pity parties, or get too down, but man, lemme tell ya, I've had some moments when I just felt like shutting down and totally detaching myself from everything.

There is a brighter side to this past week. Everyone got free medical attention and meds through the family doctor. The interview went very well. Dad, good old unbelievably awesome Dad, paid for the van fix. And my stepdad will be over shortly to help fix the water heater. God is good, and continues to be, no matter how down I get. He always guides me through the storms, but gosh darn it, I sure do hate to get wet!

I watched '3' last night, the Dale Earnhardt movie on ESPN. I will have some very surprising comments on it soon...
