Sorry I am a little late for Sunday. It’s almost 6 am Central time. We are fixing to leave for our first session of our conference. As you can imagine riding in a car with David Mc,
Canaan, and Scott there were several interesting conversations.
I will give you my top three and maybe more through out the week.
For the past three weeks Scott has thought that we were taking David truck from Smyrna to
Orlando, also known as 10 hours.
If you have never seen David’s truck it’s not exactly a full size truck with an extra cab.
It does however have two “pull down seats” in the back.
It was great to see
Canaan like 6 foot 4 and little Scott in the back of the truck.
The only way they could fit was for
Canaan to open his legs and Scott’s legs go between his.
We left the parking lot towards the interstate and David “forgot something” causing us to turn back into the church, where David, Canaan and myself got out and began to load up in our spacious rental car.
Scott’s face was priceless.
For whatever reason
Canaan couldn’t sleep the night before, I can only imagine it was because he knew he got to spend the next three days with me straight.
As you can imagine
Canaan said some interesting things during our trip going without sleep for almost 48 hours.
One of the funniest was watching him trying to calculate our arrival time.
Some how if we have a speed of 70 mph, and have 100-110 miles left on our trip we should make it there in a little less of an hour.
What!?!
As we rolled into
Orlando we had probably one of the funniest things happen to us.
In case you ever decide to take a road trip to
Orlando you might want to bring some cash with you to pay toll booths.
We were not aware of this and none of us had anything but Credit Cards and Debit cards on us, I guess that’s our generation.
Anyways as we pull up to the window David asked do you all take cards, in which the not so friendly toll booth operator replied no.
Here is how the rest of the conversation went.
David Mc.: Oh well we don’t have any cash on us.
Toll Booth Operator: Well I will have to write you a ticket.
Dm: A ticket are you kidding me? How much is it?
TBO: I will need your license and registration. \
DM: Well your not getting it because don’t have any cash on me, how do you not take credit?
Canaan:
I think I may have some coins in my back pack what if we can just give you something.
TBO: Where is your back pack?
Canaan: In the trunk.
TBO: Well hurry up.
Cars Behind Us: Honk, Honk, Honk. For umm well 3-5 min.
By the way out of the $2.50 we probably gave her 50-75 cents in pennies. And yes, Mrs. Friendly Toll Booth Operator did count every penny.
I will give you my Bible Journey later this evening. Off to our session
