Friends in "low" places

Postby Shellie » January 22nd, 2008, 2:06 am

A gallon of gas? $3.20

A tankful of gas? $60.00

Having a friend that works at a gas station? Priceless!

Paully,

I didn't post the price for a tankful in my Suburban. Didn't want any one to fall over dead.

The gas prices here are at a lowest in a while at $3.09 gal. Nancy and I were recently blessed in a strange way. The owner of a large construction company who attends our church approached me and wanted to talk.

He told me that his fuel cost per month for his company was over $25,000
and that another $400-500 a month would not make any difference. So he handed me two gas cards in his company's name and said I was not to worry about paying for gas any more.

God is always surprising me in the way He provides for our needs. Thank you Lord [-o<

BTW: the receipts will be kept and it will be counted as ministry income
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

I paid 2.92 a gallon for gas yesterday. I really wonder if we'll ever see gas back down around $2.00.

pretty easy to do the math.... Last weekend before leaving for Winter Retreat, i put in 36 gallons at $3.19/per.

Glad that we have it, but also thankful that it can sit in the garage a good amount of time.
