Ah! So the tripping was the devil's work because he knew your friend would misinterpret it and piss you off with some rambling thereby serving his ends.
Heh, yeah over analyzing is easy and since none of us have the slightest idea what God's plan really is then jumping to conclusions not a very accurate process. Personally I am in the habit of giving a little 'thanks' every time some small but relatively improbably thing happens in my favor. like when you narrowly miss hurting yourself doing something stupid (er... not like I ever do that. heh).

Heh...Steve came in after doing something with the garage door while I was fixing supper. Sat down at the table and slumped and said "It just seems like one thing after another."

"It could be worse!" I replied..."At least we're warm!"

Steve looked at me and said "SHHHHHHH!!! Don't say that too loud!" LOL

Anyway, it may be something Steve can fix...he just doesn't have time. The oven for example..we know what's wrong with it, besides it being expensive, he just doesn't have time to fix it! Same with the van...he might could figure out what's causing the short...when he gets time.

So it might be that the house and cars are just falling into expected disrepair because of lack of attention due to lack of time.

But I think it's the devil. :-)
