IF IT'S BROKE, FIX IT
One aspect of life that just bothers me to no end is when good things break on you. Everybody has a favorite thing that gets messed up over time: your car gets totalled in a wreck, your computer gets a virus and malfunctions (like all the computers at the UCLA Medical Center did yesterday), your favorite chair breaks down and is no longer comfortable. And that's not even mentioning your own body, which as I clearly demonstrated last February, can get messed up too and require surgery, medication, etc.
Maybe this is overly materialistic of me, but there are just some things in life I truly love ... and I love them in the good condition that they're in. It absolutely devastates me to have them broken, banged up, or messed up for good. And it becomes such a hassle to fix them! Plus, these facts are multipled exponentially when it comes to very expensive or very nice things.
When these things break down though, I can't help but think that God is helping me see things through the right perspective.
