An interesting morning... decisions/consequences

So, Trent had an appointment with the developmental Specialist today in Wichita. What started out as a routine question/answer time quickly lots more interesting when I decided to make the statement, "so, health care is going to get fixed soon I hear." 30 minutes later we had discussed Fox News (of which her husband is a fan) and the fact that her son is writing a major paper for school (some college) on bias in the media and whether they are aware of it or not. She actually took notes on my comments to share with him! A Dr. taking notes on what I had to say about how we behave and act and what truth is. Probably the best Dr's Appointment I have ever been to!

Once we left the Dr. Trent and I headed out to find a Sonic so that he could get some popcorn chicken (thank you Lord for Sonic serving a full menu all day! Trent has to have chicken and doesn't understand why you can't get chicken at McDonald's before 10:30am!).

So I called Andi and asked for the closest Sonic and she reminded me of the one at 21st and K96 - we headed there. While in the drive-thru waiting (forever) for the chicken the guy behind us pulls forward and rams us! That's right! Several cars in the line waiting for their food and he just let's his foot off the brake! Well, I can't get out cause I'm pinned in by the building and he's making frantic "I can't believe I just did that! Just one more stupid thing..." faces and gestures to pull ahead when we can.

Well, we get out food and pull out of the way and I go look at the bumper and the guy is visibly shaken and frustrated by what he has done. Turns out his wife is at the Surgery Center down the road and he just had too many things on his mind. No damage to the Focus so I just said, "no worries" shook his hand told him it happens to everybody and left... much to his surprise and delight (I'm sure - cause I could have been a jerk about it!).

Every decision, every choice we make carries a consequence.
I decided to breech the politic issue with the Dr. and had a great conversation with her about people that may end up helping her son with a paper he's writing... every other time it's "thanks for coming see you in three months."
I decided to go to the 21st street Sonic for chicken - where I go hit by another car.
I decided to live like I claim to believe and let a guy that was obviously dealing with much more important things breath a bit easier, instead of adding an insurance issue for him to deal with.
I decided not to tell him that I was a follower of Christ (not a conscious decision but a decision none-the-less) and just let him off of the hook without explaining that when Jesus died for me I had done much more than scratch a plastic bumper, and He not only let me off He promised me eternal life!

While driving away and kicking myself I hoped that he saw the Real Life window sticker on my car (in the 5+ min he had to wait behind me in the drive-thru line) and maybe that will click with him, have an impact on him plant some sort of seed with him.

My prayer this week has been that I would SEE GOD more in the every day and that by seeing Him I would come to know Him MORE and Love Him BETTER. I think I'm on my way.
