Car go boom



So I'm realizing that when you jump a curb in the snow, your car takes some damage. :)

Not a smart thing to do. For those of you who enjoy mathematics, I wrote my little excursion out in equation form.


1 curb + 1 car + snow = 1 tire - air (x flattening) + 1 tire - 1 axle (x breaking)


So, yeah... that's what happens. Hooray for snow. Hooray for stupidity. Hooray for dumb luck. Hooray for life!


You can sort of see the tracks from my car in the last picture.



I am realizing through all the junk, if I take the time to listen, He will speak.

Here's what I heard.
--------------------
in Your arms

The snow falls softly.
Quietly covering the world around me.
Leaving a false sense of security
Making you think that nothing could be better
And it leaves everything cold and numb
Yet it effortlessly falls.

The truth of the matter is
That there is nothing more comforting
Than to be wrapped in Your arms.

in Your arms I am free.
in Your arms I am content.
in Your arms I am secure.
in Your arms I am satisfied.
in Your arms I am Yours.

in Your arms the snow starts to melt
And my heart starts to thaw.

This gentle snow
Reminds me of how my sins soon find a way to cover me
They cover me like a security blanket
A blanket that never seems to cover all of me
Reaching and pulling and trying to stretch it to fit
How often I find myself wrapping up
And attempting to winter the storm
When all I need one thing to be wrapped in:
in Your arms.

I did this once when it was so white outside that I couldn't see the curb. It sucked. I love your poems Chuu. We should write a book::LOVE:: RED
