12hs on a Bus vs. 1h in a Tow truck

December 1, 2007 at 1:59 pm (God, family, grace, jesus)

It’s been a full month, November. Last weekend we had a family gathering in Asunción and then I left for the Chaco, Filadelfia, on Monday. Was at Kalofoné Producciones every day then, learning different techniques for audio recoring, editing and masterizing. Then got on a Bus on Thursday which broke down half-way back to Asunción. Had to wait till the next bus came and stood in the passageway with smelly people and peopla who probably had gotten two seats just so they could actually sit without killing someone… ;) well, after 3 hours I arrived in Asunción and took another bus to Campo9, which took way longer than I excpected. So all together I spent about 12hs in Buses. Then, after staying the noight in Campo9, I went to Ciudad del Este Friday moring to do tech shopping. On the way back we had car trouble and got towed back to Campo9, where the owner of the borrowed car took us home.

This afternoon I’ll be on the road again to Asunción for Marcelo and Mera’s wedding.

Anyways, the moral of the story is, avoid taking buses if at all possible and don’t focus on the problem, but on the solution. I like the river parable. Our problem’s are the river, the more we concentrate on it, the bigger it gets and it’s impossible to cross, but Jesus is the bridge and if we focus on the bridge and cross it, that river looks small in comparison.

So if anyone actually reads this, have beautiful day and keep your focus on the bridge.
