Thanks for the help

October 9, 2006

I want to think everybody we left First Baptist Church after one of Sunday's afternoon service for nothing. You really help out a bunch.
There were only a select few people who came in to the parking lot my brother and me where in, but not a one asked to help out.

After all that hustle and bustle, I guess I can tell you what went wrong.
It’s not all that big a deal, but my brother's battery died in his pickup. He had to leave it in the church parking lot over night. We returned with all the tools to take the battery out.
After about 30 minutes of working by ourselves, not a person leaving church that day, parked in that parking lot, asked us for help.

I thought it was strange at first, and was just going to forget about it. Then my brother mentioned something when we left to go get a new battery.

I could only agree with him. The point isn't that we needed help; we finally were able to complete the repair after about two hours.

The fact of the matter is that nobody even asked if we could use a hand. That’s what got to me. I mean, we were outside a church. It’s probably THE biggest church in Wichita County and surrounding counties.

I guess I just have to forget and forgive...that's the only thing I can do. No use in crying over spilt milk.
