One of Those Days

Have you ever had "one of those days"? Today was one of those days for me. I was scheduled to be the guest minister at a church in another community which meant that I had to get up earlier than usual. The church has two services: one at 8:30 am and the other at 10:30 am.

I headed out to my car and proceeded to put down the garage door. It would not go down. I got out of the car inspected to see if there was anything blocking the light beam and tried again. It still would not come down. Upon closer inspection, I noticed one of the rollers had fallen off...then notice the door was hanging on the opposite end only to discover two rollers on the floor. I went back into the house to let my wife know about the door. I figure the high winds we had last night may have somehow lifted the door enough to cause the one roller to come off the track. Thunderstorms and tornadoes coupled with high winds raged through our area last night.

I got back into the car and drove to the church in the other community with about 5 minutes to spare before the 8:30 am service started. I introduced myself and a nice gentleman had a preplexed look on his face. He then told me that today was the first Sunday for their new Interim Minister. He introduced me to the new minister who apologized profusely for the "mix up."

So, I headed home to be with my wife and sister-in-law on Mother's Day. It was a good thing I had gone shopping on Saturday or it would have really been "one of those days."

Ah, well all things ended well....except the garage door. We'll leave that to the professionals.

Have a good day.
