| Posted 1/1/2005 6:46 PM (GMT -6) |   | I just returned tonight after a 15-hour car ride from Memphis Tennessee.
We spent the week there visiting my husband's relatives. On Thursday, we visited the cemetary where my husband's grandmother is buried and our car was broken into and my purse was stolen. Everything was in my purse -- nearly all of our vacation money, all our credit cards, our checkbook, pictures, etc. etc. To say the least, I was pretty upset. The bad guys made a mad dash to nearly every gas station in Memphis (buying gas for their friends, I guess), picked up a few after-Christmas deals at the local Dillard's, and then proceeded to use up all the minutes on our cell phone. It was about 2 hours later that I remembered that my BRAND NEW MP3 player (a Christmas present) was also in my purse...at that point I was REALLY mad.
Thursday was a bad day for me, but it may signal a new ministry opportunity in the mid-South. In addition to my collection of 80s dance hits, the MP3 player contains about 7 hours of Greg's sermons. I find some solace in the fact that I still have the computer connector required to add and remove MP3s from the player. Hopefully, the new owner will grow tired of "Rock Me Amadeus" and listen to "The Father is Always Working."
This story about the problem at the cemetary ran in the Memphis paper today. Apparently, I'm not alone (though I may be one of the youngest members of the club).

BTW, after witnessing hours of her mother's ranting and raving about the stupid bad men who took her purse, my 6-year old told me that I needed to forgive them just like Jesus forgives us. There I was, thinking more along the lines of "eye for an eye," while my little girl is thinking like Jesus. Pretty amazing.
