Well
As the title of this blog says, well. As in " well that didn't go as I imagined. Well not most of it anyways. I made it to church, that was planned. the fact that I barely made it there is where the plan stopped. As some of you know, my alternator decided to die as I pulled into the church. I went to the Antioch church, which was to me, a very beautiful building. I was blessed to have known Mario and Teresa Luka. They helped me tremendously in a difficult time. Mario helped me get a tow back to his house and find the mechanic that did the work on my truck. Him and his wife then fed me, then lent me there car so that I could get to my hotel. The hotel being in Oakland. Which was 45 mins away. I didn't leave their house until about 11. P.M. There were also 3 of the youth that stayed behind my truck with their blinkers on while we waited for the tow truck. The next day I talked to the mechanic, who not only replaced my alternator, but also replaced my main belt. And no I'm not referring to the one that I wear. All this and labor set me back $260. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. No the way I envisioned this trip to be. Mario got me in touch with the boys that stayed behind my truck for about 30 to 45 mins, and I picked them up and took them to lunch at Zacharys in San Ramon. Now fir those of you who don't know about Zacharys, may think so what. But for those of you who do know about Zacharys, you're thinking about the little "slice" of heaven that I brought to these boys. All of whom had never been to this place before, and they live less than an half hour away. When I ordered a large pizza for the four of us, they looked at me like I was crazy to think that a large pizza was going to fill the four hungry guys that were there. After the first slice, these same boys looked at was left of the pizza and seriously debated writer to have a second slice or not. They all did and hey all regretted it. To sum all of this up, I had a great time of fun and fellowship So while I didn have the trip inwas hopeingto have, I did meet some great people and in the process have a great time.
