Work, feeding fish and a drive in the rain

Worked today. It didn't end up to bad in the end. Nothing much to report except more people wanting service with a smile and the best products for free, the joys...

I went over to a mates house tonight to feed his fish. He's over seas and I'm fish minding which is great cause if you have to baby sit something then fish are the best. No walks, cleaning or anything. Just show up once every couple of days and throw a bunch of food around. Sounds boring enough but the drive home made me realize something.


I drive a turbo charged 98 skyline R34. A rice burner, I know, but I like it ;). However long story short the tires are terrible in wet conditions. I'm driving along thinking about how nice the drive is, it's perfectly dry, the turbos getting a work out, my windows down and the music is loud. I'm thinking nothing is better than this, I need to do this more often. Then out of the blue, rain. Lots of rain, can't see for a bit type rain. My first thoughts as the back of my skyline tries to beat the front around a corner is.. Dear lord make this turnout ok.


When I arrived at my mates place the stupid little fish start fliting around the tank like they know what is coming. At that moment I am everything to them. Without me they die, I don't do much remember, just throw some food around, but to them I'm God. Then they eat a few bits of food and forget. They go about there business not caring if I'm there or not. They have had their full. They don't need me anymore, or so they think. They really do need me so they can stay alive the 2 weeks there master is away, but they just don't care.

Which brings me back to my wet slip and slide ride. Unless there is an issue, I don't act like God's there most of the time. I go about my day at work, my ride home, my dinner with family, without God being part of it and then all of a sudden.. Umm God... A little help.

My dependence on God and his loving provision is not based on love for my creator, merely a love of self preservation and self service. So my thought is, screw that I'm not a fish, something should change.

Bless ya
