lock your doors

I headed off to work this morning and when I reached to select my destination on my GPS, I realized it was missing. Shock, disbelief, and then your heart starts racing trying to figure out how. Well I had unlocked my car on my way over..or so I thought, I must have left the door unlocked last night. I drove to work and about halfway there decided to call the Sheriffs office. I didn't want a car in front of our house at 4am and breaking up Ashley's sleep. I was about to dial when I looked down at the center console. I then remembered I had also left my Ipod in there...and now it was also missing.

I searched online for a while trying to see how each company (Apple and Garmin) could track a stolen product, and all came back with the same result.....they can't, or choose not to. Homeowners covers loss of stolen property but the deductible exceeds the value.

--This post might be rambling but hold on..there is a point--

I was trying to deal with what was stolen, and then it hit me. Let me rewind a bit. This weekend I was blowing leaves and spreading pine straw for a long couple of hours, all the while listening to my Ipod that I hadn't used in a month. I had it on shuffle and some of the songs I came across reminded me of music I've long since listened to. Songs and Artists that don't resemble Christian values or thoughts. I told myself I need to sit down and remove these, and clean up my collection. It's amazing that God can take our task lists and move priorities....I guess I don't need to worry about cleaning that up on my Ipod any more :) ... Ashley said I saw the bright spot to the loss.
