guess who called me tonight

-the fellows house
-9:27 EST
-normal over all (yet slightly unsure of something particular)
-13 other people
-no babies
-lots of books

ok, so i was coming back into the house after a long, intense conversation with one of my friends here when my phone rang. and who the heck should it be but freakin Deb the Welder! (for those of you who don't know, Deb was the lady who fixed our axle at midnight on the way to key west. for free.) yea, so deb calls just to say hi. she said that she was hanging up that big group picture of all of us on her and Gina's wall and thought of us all. at dinner tonight she told her kids the story of that night and how we stopped back by dothan to see them, and how we talked about Jesus with her. 

one thing she remembered particularly was Justin Warden (i'm pretty sure) walking around her shop just saying 'praise the Lord! praise the Lord!' to everything she said and how everything worked out. i think if i had been in there with him, i would have sighed, 'oh justin...' but to hear deb tell it, he was like some sort of old saint, a good kind of zealot.

thank you for florida.

I thought I was really lucky to be in one of the other cars that night, but now I'm not so sure.
