God Don't Own A Car (by Jimmy Buffett)

And neither does my friend, Krista.
Sorry about the title, but it just seemed the most appropriate under the circumstances. I have a request for you all. I have a friend from Westwood, Krista, who has been serving our Lord in Chiang Mai, Thailand for the past couple years and is coming home for the summer. I had originally offered for her to use my van while I was out of the country, but things changed and I ended up selling my van to one of my best friends, Jason, who recently started his own non-profit organization in Kentucky through which he is also serving our Lord and was in need of a large vehicle … and I was in need of money. It seemed to work out pretty well for everyone but Krista. Now she’s coming home June 11 until August 6 or so and will have no mode of transportation while she’s home. I promised her I would see what I could do to help her find a vehicle she could either borrow, rent, or buy for the summer. Her exact words when she emailed me were, “I know beggars can’t be choosers, but … I would really like a small automatic car.” Keep in mind she was ready to drive around Evangeline, my beast of an ’86 Ford Econoline conversion van. The small automatic car is her preference, but she’ll count any running vehicle as a blessing from the Lord!
I’m hoping to get one more blog written before the end of this week because once this weekend comes I expect to be pretty non-stop busy and away from most internet opportunities until August (with an occasional day or two here and there where I don’t know how much I’ll be able to get done). So, if you think I was incommunicado before, my understanding is that that was nothing compared to what’s to come. That means that if you have any leads for Krista regarding a car for the summer, I’m not the right person to contact because I probably won’t get the message until it’s too late. Instead, could you please contact Mark Bendell at Westwood? The number there is 952-224-7300. And if you don’t have any leads for her, prayer would be super appreciated as well!
Thank you!!! And keep posted for more bloggings in the next couple days. I’ll try to add pictures too, but that seems to be easier said then done lately.
