No Other Option But to Laugh...

As is the case most mornings, I got ready to ride my bike to work. I had my riding gear on as well as my bags. I went out to my "bad looking" Phat cruiser and prepared myself to ride. I suddenly noticed my rear tire was flat. After filling it with green slime I attempted to pump it up, but to no avail. It was toast. After a quick change I jumped into my truck and headed down Cherry Lane to the offices. But once I turned onto Pine I immediately got stuck behind a school bus. But this was no ordinary school bus. It was a school bus that stopped every 30 seconds to pick up kids. For the mile down Pine it stopped many times. I must admit I could sense my joy wanting to high tail it out of my little truck, but I won! I've had too many opportunities to win this battle before and I wasn't going to let this one get the better of me. I value my peace and joy too much to let it go flying out the window because of a flat bike tire and a school bus that stops every 30 seconds. Psalm 29:11 promises, The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace." The Lord is the one who blesses me with peace and although many things will try and snatch it away, I'm going to bask in His peace :)
