wrote a check for $3.75

So Last night was truly amazing. I had the priviledge of being apart of the 6 Christmas Eve services @ Granger Community. What an amazing night. Such a cool thing to celebrate the birth of Jesus our savior with a couple thousand people. It was a candle light service so one of my favorite parts was looking out at all the people from the stage when we all lifted up our candles and seeing the unity and of the little flames that lit the room. It stirred my heart every time. How awesome it was to join so many people in worship.
So anyways, I decided to stay in Indiana and sleep before I headed home to Ohio. Well this morn on my way home I got to the Indiana toll where i was supposed to pay, and realized that I had forgot to bring cash with me. So I pulled off to the side of the road, with the toll boxes right in front of me and sat there and thought about what I should do. I had been in this circumstance before with no money and a lady yelling at me. The last time the lady just payed for me and told me "get out of here" so this time i was worried cause the last lady wouldnt accept anything and was pretty upset. So i called home and my mom told me that i could ask for a bill to be sent to my home for the toll and they would accept that. So i pulled up to the window and told the lady I had no money. She wasnt happy. So i asked her if I could just have a bill sent to my address. She said no, you cant do that. She told me that she was going to call the police and I would probably have to wait about 2 hours for them to get there...I was thinking "oh man...what a way to start off Christmas." Then she asked me "what about a personal check? do you have one of those?" and hallelujah I did! So I asked her who to make it out to and she told me. Then I handed her the check and my drivers license and she compared my Ohio license to my Indiana address on the check and I thought for sure she was calling the cops again.
Thank God she believed me and I drove away wiping the sweat from my forehead saying "Phew". Can I just tell you how much I despise confrontation like that...sheesh, I don't like making people upset. I was pleading with the lady and being the nicest I could be.
And so now the day is almost over. I'm in the middle of playing Donkey Kong Country on Super Nintendo with my 2 brothers. Such good memories from when I used to be a gamer...
Gotta get back now
