If you've read the recent post about our car issues, you'll remember that the bright spot was our car insurance man. When Tom explained to him what had gone on with our cars, he was so amazed at how well he was taking it.
This cracked me up because I knew how well Tom was NOT doing with it all! Amazingly, the Lord was gracious and they had a really really good conversation about life and how to survive the ups and downs.
This was really meaningful for Tom because he does not have many men his age to connect with at the moment. Most of the local friends are much younger and aren't really in the same place in life. This guy just a few years older and is a well-established business man here in town.
He and Tom have had some really good chats and times to hang out. The other day he took Tom to the original family house here in town. There are other people living in...sort of squatters...Tom wasn't sure. But it was in a section of town Tom had never been to before. It is part of the original oasis here and you don't see it from the road because there is a layer of stores and then a few layers of residences and then the oasis. It is not watered which is why the trees look SO WEIRD.
