Since I don't believe in coincidence

Tonight I ran into a unique problem. We live in our new house and yet our lease on our rental is not up yet. So I have 2 houses. At the rental is my lawn tractor which I no longer need, my new yard is too small for it. Because of the crazy way I transported things from one house to the other, a trailer that connects to the lawn tractor was stuck over here at the new house. I finally got our garage in order today so we could fit all our stuff in and still park in it. But I had to get rid of the trailer, no room. I was going to drive over get the lawn tractor drive it back here, pull the trailer back there and then drive home. As I thought things over this evening I decided just to push the small light trailer over by hand and walk back. I got strange looks pushing it down the street. As I came over the crest of the hill I could see our rental and all the neighbor kids were playing on our porch? They didn't notice me. As I got closer they moved to the garage door and two of the boys started pulling the garage door up! By this time I was across the street. I yelled "BUSTED!" as I walked toward them with the trailer. They all froze, which I think is a sign that these kids are still good kids. I asked them if any of them owned the house to which they all mumbled "no"s. I then educated them about how burglary is a felony which means you go to prison for a long time instead of a short stint in jail. Then I pulled my wallet and showed them my badge and explained how breaking into a police officers house might not be an especially bright idea. I asked the 2 boys what their names were and they told me. I then opened the garage and stowed the trailer locking the garage door behind me (it had been unlocked because we shut the power off to the house and the garage door opener wouldn't operate). Since I don't believe in coincidence, I know God had a purpose in that. This may be a day that is etched in one of those kids memories for the rest of their life, maybe even something that keeps them from getting into other kinds of trouble. That is the strange thing about how God uses us, most of the time we don't get to see the result of the work he uses us to do. It doesn't mean what we do is meaningless or useless, it just means we have to use our imaginations if we want an answer to the question "why?"

LOST
OK I have another hatch insignia for you from this weeks episode. The hatch the others appeared to be guarding with rifles is pictured below. As close as I can tell it looks like an "=" sign.
It was interesting what Ms. Clue said about Walt to Michael. She hinted that he has telepathic powers of some kind, allowing him to appear places that he is not. We saw Walt do this a couple times, appearing soaking wet to survivors on the island, once to Shannon, can't remember who else. These powers were hinted at in the episode where Walt was reading a book about birds and then one flew into the window of the room he was reading the book in, and again when he was reading a Spanish comic book with a polar bear in it and then minutes later a polar bear is chasing Walt and Michael through the jungle. Interesting... This week there was another Hanso Foundation commercial with a new website listed www.letyourcompassguideyou.com (I think) It takes you to a page with a compass that follows your mouse until you put the mouse on the 108 degree mark. 108 from there it takes you back to the Hanso website which I couldn't pimp any new info out of. Next week sounds like it will be a good one.

Also my brother's family and mine started meeting for church at our house last Sunday. It was fun. I lead the kids thru the creation story and compared it to the analogy of collecting and assembling items for a fish tank before you bring the fish home. We adults are going to alternate teaching the kids, as a problem is already arising, namely a prophet is not respected in his home town. I think our kids will benefit from seeing scripture through several different people's eyes. We adults are also going to read through and discuss weekly the book "Total Forgiveness" by RT Kendall. I think we are all looking forward to it.

That's all for now.
