kindness at the bottom of the states

i had the priviledge of going to nashville with pastor carlo and aaron today for a meeting with some other pastors and the district director for first assembly of God in Tennesseee.

afterwards, we all went to lunch where i enjoyed a conversation with my new friends and subtlely chuckled because i'm still not used to everyones southern accents.

all in all, i have come to realize that the rumors are true about the south, everyone here is friendly, and it's been a blessing.

on the way back from finding out the hard way that walgreens was closed due to power outage, and rite-aid has a horrible film developing process, a random man who barely spoke english offered to give me a ride.

"you don't want ride, yes?"
"uhh, what? uhh, where are you going?"
"where are you going?"
"that way..."
"ok, i give you ride..."
"wow, ok, thanks"

after he dropped me off, i had to look back to make sure it wasn't an angel...

i like this whole trusting God thing.
i started to get soaked, but knew that something would be hooked up.

and it was.

Daddy, thank You so much for today.
and thank You that You are my strength.
i love You, and i believe that You love me!
amen

thanks again to all who have been keeping up with the Fortschritt.
blessings to all of you! and to all a good night.... ugh...
