I believe the Lord "visited" me this week
I want to share a most positive experience that happened to me this week, and it is my opinion that the events were facilitated and coordinated by the good Lord himself.
As I wrote in my other threads, I was asking what I may do for fun. This week I was reconnected with a former co-worker. (I received an email notification asking that he be added to my network). Since it had been quite some time since we spoke, we made plans to meet.
I met him at a local "car" show. They call it a show, but really it is more like a social gathering. It was a nice place to enjoy a brat and reminisce, while enjoying fine automobiles (this week there was a Pierce Arrow, Cadillac V16, and a Studebaker.)
Since I enjoyed the automobiles, he invited me to the local dragstrip the next night. It was exhilarating. (There was a front engined dragster with a blown Hemi - when he fired that bad boy up, alarms went off in the lot. It was ecstasy) I was able to rip off a 15.88 @ 91. Not bad for being the first time. (Published rating is 15.1 @ 94 - I hope to get in the mid 15s the next time I go. I just have to work on my shift times.)
Finally, he took me to Road America to watch the Ferrari club race around the track. It, too, was exhilarating. Hearing Ferraris at WOT is something that should be experienced in one's lifetime. Nothing compares. Apparently other car clubs have similar events. I will join one club so I may participate in such wonderful events.
On our way back from the track, I explained to him some of the recent experiences I had, including joining this forum.
Just as he has exposed me to this wonderful new world, I too, hope to expose him to this world.
This must have been the Lord's work. After such time to be reconnected with a friend, and exposed to such wonderful and wholesome events. Only the Lord is capable of such work.
