so the drama of wallet displacement.

Today is friday. I leave Sunday.
This past monday and Tuesday I took some of the coolest kids out to Garner State Park. They'd never been camping. I'm not much of a woodsy guy, but we got by and had a blast mostly in the river.
Anyhow. the last hour of our camping trip I bought some more sunscreen so we wouldn't get toastied up. I ended up buying Brandon, the youngest kid, some swimming trunks cuz his just weren't doing what swim trunks are supposed to do. We lotioned up, hit the rope swings for an hour...jumped in the car and came back to san antonio. Kids crashed out in the car. Fun.
So we got back and I was going to buy them some lunch from a local unhealthy fast food restaurant. as i walked to the store front, i reached for my wallet.....AND LO AND BEHOLD. no wallet.
Damn.
No lunch. I dropped the kids off at home with no lunch.
Now no one ever expects that losing a wallet will be a smooth experience. I certainly didn't so I did everything i possibly could to find my wallet. Called the Park store, called the park front desk. Drove 2 hours back to Garner state park and did some of my own searching with my own eyes. I don't work anymore so i had the time to do this. bought some goggles and jumped in the fairly stagnant waters and searched the 2-6 foot of waters for the next 2-3 hours. i didn't find my wallet, but sure had fun. =)
anyhow. To keep this post short, what ended up happening is just what you'd expect. I had to cancel credit cards and had to get a new license....SOUNDS LIKE DRAMA TO ME...
but it went so smooth. soo fantastical. I almost would recommend losing your wallet just so you know that it's not that big of a deal. Well, unless someone starts using ur junk and stealing your money. That'd be smelly.
all of the whole thing was resolved in a matter of a few hours. The DMV line in Universal City off Pat Booker took no more than 15 minutes once the doors opened at 8. I was like 20th in line or something.
Anyhow.
When this first happened I started thinking that God was showing me that i'm not supposed to go or something like that.I thought he was going to make it apparent that i was running away and that he'd make my attempt miserable. Then i started thinking that all this other bad junk would happen to me too.
but it didn't. and i'm fine. and i'm planning on leaving Sunday about noon to visit Kat and Derek in Houston.

God's involvement in my life wasn't too evident when i sought him whole heartedly. I haven't seen much change nor do i expect much change in my lack of pursuit of him.
Adios!
