Though this is a Chicago story, this is not really related to ministry, so it belongs in this random blog of things. This week we have a mission team in from Indiana and they're doing awesome things and such, and on Wednesday I was supposed to meet them at the church at 9. I planned on getting to the bus stop at 8:30 just in case something happened and whatnot. Well, it turns out that the bus I got on wasn't going all the way to the end of the line like they usually do. it stopped for its last stop about 3 or 4 stops after mine. I was obviously shocked because she didn't tell me as I got on that the bus was stopping early or anything. If I had known I definitely would have waited for the next bus to come.
I currently don't have use of my phone because my charger decided it wasn't going to work anymore. So I have no idea what time it is or any idea of how long it'll take the next bus to get there once I get off, so I decide to just walk. Now, I've walked this way before, it's practically a straight shot, and I feel totally safe walking where I did at that time in the morning. As I walk, throughout the entire walk, two buses passed me. So really if I had been just a tiny little bit more patient, I would have been at the church earlier and without that much walking. I did get some exercise though. So I mean... that was good :)
The lesson of the day is this: 1. Don't let your phone die without a working charger 2. Make sure the bus you're getting on will take you to your stop 3. ALWAYS wear good walking shoes. luckily I did :)
