Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. Check out this texting interchange between me and Nicole. Nicole, a friend of Nathan and April's, has been trying to set up a PayPal account so people can donate money online to help them out with expenses. Let's just say it hasn't been the easiest thing in the world to accomplish.

Me: Hi Nicole! The football game was canceled so when can we do the PayPal thing?
Nicole: Does this afternoon or evening work better for you? I'm having my car worked on and hope to have it back by 1:30. I'm flexible with whatever works for u … once I get my car back :) Sorry for the delayed response I didn't even hear my phone ding.
Me: No problem! I should be flexible this afternoon too. Text me when you get your car out of bondage!
Nicole: Deal.

Nicole: I came home to a giant hole in my roof right in my closet. Steve's in duty and I have no idea what to do. My parents are on their way. Could we get together tomorrow? My apologies I just don't know what to do. I'll be out of church around noon or maybe even this evening. My entire closet … shoes, clothes, everything soaked and the roof uh just gone in what looks like a 1 ft diameter.
Me: Oh no! Maybe it was a UFO or a meteorite or something exotic like that. Hopefully you can at least get a tarp nailed over it like they did after Ike. We get out of church around noon too. Just text me and let me know.
Nicole: Thanks Kelley I'll check in this afternoon/evening if I'm able to. Perhaps if you're free it could work but for sure tomorrow. Again my apologies … first the car breaks then the house! Trying to remain thankful that I even have a car and home … not really helping at the moment though :)
Me: Hang in there girl!

Me: So did you capture the alien invader that crashed through your roof?
Nicole: I'm thinking whatever it is stayed in my house. Yesterday I got electrocuted my ceiling caught fire I then proceeded to drop and break a glass, crushed a light bulb between my hands and 3 picture frames flew off the wall as I walked by and all 3 shattered. Obviously the Lord has a message or something but I haven't a clue what it is! I just figured I was better off turning off the phone in case I sent bad juju through the phone. Lol Are you free this evening?
Me: I'm not sure I want to be anywhere near you! Lol We are hanging out with April and Cailyn while Nathan hangs out at the blood drive. Be home later on.

Me: Just got home
Feb. 6 2012 9:31 PM
Nicole: Sorry was at gym how about we talk on the phone tomorrow and I can get it done or u can come up to my office. Actually Steve's on duty tomorrow and I pick up kids near u I could stop by then. Whatever works best for you. Apologies again I'm really not usually such a flake
Me: No apology needed. You have a hole in your roof and an alien loose in your house! We have to take my Mom to the doctor in Houston tomorrow. Can I just text you when we get back and see where we are?
Nicole: Sounds good.
We did finally make contact and she got the link to PayPal set up. It's now available on the TeamApril FaceBook page. Good job, Nicole.
Isaiah 60:1 says, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you."
Father, that's a great wake up call. Keep you glory rising. Amen.
