AUTO-matic

It figures.

We are two weeks away from having enough money saved up to put a down payment on a new (used) car for Scott and his steering goes out.

Really?

We were driving home Friday and 1/4 of a mile from the house, it peters out.  Scott had it towed to our favorite mechanic, but since it was Friday and they only have one tech. on Saturday, we still do not know what the prognosis is...I am not looking forward to finding out how much this repair is going to cost.

Ugh!

We want to sell this car as soon as possible.  It has not been a good car (riddled with issues, etc.), but hopefully, it will perform better for someone else.  The used car we bought before that threw a rod and was rendered useless at 84,000 miles.   Let us hope that this next one is a better investment...

Then I was reminded in the sermon today that more than 80% of the world's population lives on $10 a day (globalissues.org).

How can I complain?  I am safe.  I am loved.  I have water to drink.  I have $11.37 in my wallet. I need to stop feeling sorry for myself.

Looks like a new car is the least of me worries.  I need a new attitude.

Can you relate?
