Roadtrip and Truck Stop

June 20, 2009

So New Cov (a Music and Ministry group from MVNU) and I were on our way down to General Assembly (a huge Nazarene convention) in Orlando, Florida when our van started to act funny. It wouldn’t accelerate past 65 and then it would decelerate while Tori was still pushing down on the gas. So we turned on exit in the middle of Tenn. but when we stopped the van wouldn’t go anywhere. So we put it in a low gear and barely got it off the side of the road where we sat for about a half hour waiting on AAA to send a tow truck to pick us up. They finally got there and towed us to a BP which was just under a mile away. This BP actually has a little TV room where there were already some truckers. These guys were watching some movies that where on TV. We sat with them and watched this movies with them and they put all of their inputs in whenever they possibly could. It has been probably one of the funniest things that I have ever seen. One of the movies we watched with them was Save the Last Dance and one of the truckers actually admitted to watching Dancing with the Stars and wanting to be able to dance like the people on the show and in the movie.

This has been by far one of the funniest experiences of my life and it wouldn’t have happened if our van didn’t break down in who knows where in the middle of Tenn. I am not sure why but I usually hate when plans go the wrong way but this has actually been a lot of fun and I have enjoyed getting to know the people on New Cov.

God is Love!
