you never know

The engine sits in the driveway, a few feet away from it's home - a '67 Mustang. The main question of the moment, "Is it worth rebuilding"? Upon entering the garage, a quick glance reveals "treasures" ya gotta love - jigsaws, goop, circular saws, WD40, router, a planer, goop, sleeping bags, climbing ropes, fly rod, doe hooves, goop, whoaaaaa, was that doe hooves? Yep, I believe it was! Stepping into that thar house, one is greeted by an aroma - pretty strong I'd say. It's something akin to smelly feet, and .....well, maybe we'll just use our imaginations. I think it might be strong enough to put hair on your chest. Holy Moly, there sure are alot of half naked people in this house - flexing muscles, doing push ups, exercising fingers. Yep, there's what I'm talking about. Remote heaven! Ok, let's see what else this here tribe has. Hmmm, a fingerboard hanging over the doorway, soccer cleats, and books. Let's see what they like to read: Tom Brown, Jr.; Richard P. Feynman; Scott Adams, Henri Nouwen, Suess, Rabbi Harold Kushner; Ray Bradbury; Shel Silverstein; Richard Foster; Viktor Frankl; You know, I'm getting a bit hungry. Wonder if this joint has any food? Ahhhh, there ya be matey's - knew I'd find someone in the galley. And pizza, looks like it's a staple in this house. Don't forget ya oranges, wouldn't want no scurvy for this bunch!! Hey, I hear a sound. Seems like it could be coming from behind this here door. Let's open slowly.... Good granny! All the laundry in China is right here!! And I do believe I see doe hooves.... no, I believe those might be doe feet - of the human species. "Greetings ma'am.' ' Looks like you're pretty busy, is there anything I could do for you"? "Well aren't you a sweet thing.' ' Well, actually there is,.... you see I've been trying to write to a group of friends these past months, some real nice folks I once got to serve with in the Northeast. They're all over the country now; still serving I'm sure of it. Could you drop them a line, and remind them of a couple of things: tell them, they helped to shape me into the person I am today; and remember - love God, the rest is detail. Oh yeah, one more thing; when I find my way out of this room, I'll write. You never know"!! Blessings, Beth
