‘Kay, some of you know I believe in God, but am not
a Christian, and respect all my atheist friends right to burn for all eternity, haha..Here is what happened, and I know it could be just random life, but listen.
last nite, I was questioning weather or not to move back to my hometown. Now, I don’t often pray about mundane things, but i have been a little lost lately, so I prayed for a sign, to help me make a decision.
So, around 2 am local, i decided to drive to the store. My jeep has been having stalling problems, but it always starts back up. On the drive to the store, it died. AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP.
2 miles from home, 2 miles from the store, and I realize..I have almost no one to call for help. I tried calling a couple of co-workers, who both were up. Both were too “busy, sorry man” crap!
I walked to the store, walked back, tried it again, still no start. i walked on home, lamenting my situation. I made some calls..$70 dollars minimum to tow it, and at the mechanic a minimum of $120 to check it out and find the problem..
Now I am A grown man, but i came real close to crying..I have no money for this, and it would cost even more, because i would have to use a taxi until they could fix the Jeep.
I realized if I was back home, I would have had any number of people to call for help. A friend owns a tow truck, and my Godfather is a mechanic..certified. So, this was my sign, ha ha…and what a painful sign.
I went online, talked in Help chat for a while, then began to search for any info I could find about my Jeeps problem. 2 hours of searching, and I found a forum about jeeps, on a Cnet site. One of the posters described my problem exactly. He had the same issue for 9 months, just like me. He stumbled across a solution…I walked back to my Jeep, tried his suggestion, and guess what? It fired right up, and ran fine.
So, from my point of view, I got my sign, and then I got a little miracle..yes, miracle, cause the answer was to unscrew 2 screws in the computer housing..wtf? no, really, wtf? anyone who knows anything about engines and mechanics will see, this is not a normal solution to a stalling problem.
So, am I crazy? ha ha..I respect all views, but I HAD to write about this..wow again.
