Nothing for the Tin Man

Wednesday I walked outside to get in my car to drive to prayer service. My car was gone.

Stolen or repossessed?

I knew the answer. Not just because I live in an honest neighborhood.

I said three immediate prayers.

God, please guide me in what I should do.

God, thank you for keeping me filled with your peace and your grace.

God, remind me it is your will working, whatever it is.

I called the car lease company. I called the repossession service. I learned the steps to reinstatement.

I followed the steps. I will reclaim my car Tuesday.

I sat down and created an iPod playlist. I took my iPod for a run.

One line struck so true, 25 minutes into the run, just as I turned onto a country road lined with black-eyed Susans:

No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
that he didn’t, didn’t already have.

Thank you, God.
