No problem. It would be cool to do some work there. I'd volunteer for it.

Perhaps this is a good time to relate a story of appreciation for answered prayer - - -

God's Answer

A woman received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever.

She left work and stopped by the pharmacy for some medication for her daughter.
When returning to her car she found she had locked her keys inside.
She had to get home to her sick daughter, and didn't know what to do.
She called her home to the baby sitter, and was told her daughter was getting worse.

The sitter said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door."

The woman found an old rusty coat hanger on the ground, as if someone else had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this."

She bowed her head and asked God for help.
An old rusty car pulled up, driven by a dirty, greasy, bearded man with a biker skull rag on his head.

The woman thought, "Great God. This is what you sent to help me????"
But she was desperate, and thankful. The man got out of his car and asked if he could help.

She said "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I must get home to her.
Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"
He said, "SURE."

He walked over to the car and in seconds the car was opened.
She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "THANK YOU SO MUCH".... You are a very nice man."

The man replied, "Lady, I ain't a nice man. I just got out of prison for car theft."
The woman hugged the man again and cried out loud.....

"THANK YOU, GOD, FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL!"
