Yes, they are all mine!

Ok, it didn't start off all that exciting but it had its moments.  LOL  Today was grocery shopping day and I wanted to get out of the house early but we all slept a little later than I expected.  First stop was the gas station.  Not exciting, I know but hang with me!  After much complaining by a van full of kids we stopped at the Waffle House next to the gas station.  I was hungry too and you should never go grocery shopping hungry.  That is the way to blow your budget!  Anyway, while there one of the waitresses recognized us from a few Sunday-after-church lunches.  Her husband was there visiting her and asked what church we go to.  I explained that we are non-denominational and had been traveling 45 minutes south but that we had been looking for one in or around our town.  They invited us to try out their church.  It is just a small, country, non-denominational church.  That is what we have been praying for so we are going to give it a try on Sunday and see how the Lord leads.  When we were done eating I drove over to the church so I would know where it was and what it looked like for Sunday. 

After that we headed to the grocery store.  I hit my budget smack on the nose.  Yes!  LOL  Once I had finished my grocery shopping and we headed outside and to the van (and the excitement).  While we were walking through the parking lot I noticed a guy in a old, red truck backing up quite quickly.  The next thing ya know he backed right into someone's new Dodge Ram.  It was a very loud boom that rocked the Dodge.   It happened just 3 spaces from where we were parked.  They caught it on camera and myself and another gentleman saw the whole thing.  The guy pulled forward but didn't go inside to find the owner or anything.  As a matter of fact he was drunk.  He could barely stand up!  I wasn't about to confront him (it was just me and 6 young children) so I loaded my groceries and wrote down his tag number and description.  I was going to go inside the store to call the police but the owner of the truck, the store manager and a bagger came out of the store to talk to him.  The other witness called the police and the drunk took off.  When the police got there I gave him the paper I wrote everything down on and gave him my statement.  The kids were in the van in the air conditioning with a movie but their little faces were pressed against the windows to see what was going on.  LOL  Tons of questions once I got in the van.  

I am off for now.  Dinner is almost ready and I have to get the potato salad done.  Be back later to post more!

All for His glory, ~Rhen
