Hmmmm… D²

I don’t know why it wasn’t running in the first place.  Like I said in an earlier post when I would try to start it a 20 amp fuse would pop.  So, frustrated, I let my car sit there collecting dirt to the point it was beginning to look like a natural rock formation.  Well, sheer embarrassment drove me (forgive the pun) to take another look at it.  If for any reason than to move it so I can wash it.  I bought some new fuses and tried one and the silly thing started.  I pulled it into the driveway figuring I got lucky and the next time I tried to start it that poor fuse would be sacrificed to the demons possessing my car.  Well, the silly thing started again!  Once again, I don’t know what’s wrong with it.  Maybe it’s just temperamental or just a brat.  Anyway, I have a small warehouse of fuses in the glove compartment just in case and since it’s been running again the fuse has only gone out once.  Go figure…

“We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins.  And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.”

Men may rise on stepping-stones of their dead selves to higher things.

A very poetic way of saying we all can change… for the better.
