You know, it's times like these when my prayer is something like
this: "God, right now life is sucking but you said that you work all
things for my good. Please show me that you're still in control."

I've
had several things happen recently, and here's one of them. So last
night I'm driving back to Lee and suddenly my RPM's jump from about
2,500 (normal) to about 7,000 (my car's red line). I quickly hit the
clutch and try to change gears, but I can't get it to go into any
gears. It was locked as if the clutch wasn't separating the disks in the
transmission. My car also gave off a REALLY bad smell.

That's the bad news, but there is a God part to it (as there is in most
things in life, you just have to look in the right direction). I was
1/2 an hour in the direction of Lee and remembered that I had to get
into Chris's dorm room tonight, but he's staying in the boro tonight.
So, I turn around and go get his key. They my car dies 2 minutes from
my house. Dieing 1/2 way to Lee would suck, but I was brought back :-).
