Toady......

Today I am reminded that not everything goes as planned and that sometimes there is a curve in the road you might not have seen or planned for.
Today Chet made a mistake at work that could cost him his job. Hoping not, and more than hoping, praying!
Chet services about 400-420 air machines between Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada. For the most part there is one key for all of these machines. Today he left the key in one of the machines, and someone stole it. This is where things get kinda sticky. If the thief breaks into a machine and get away with money, Chet will likely lose his job, because he was responsible for that key. Can you see how the road has started to get a little curvy?
It is a Monday night and I am sitting here at 10:10 pm waiting and wondering when Chet will stop working for the night. He is out trying to collect all of the machines that he can, so that if the said thief does actually try to get into a machine, they won't get away with any money. This is however, only the beginning of many long work days for him. He will have to go out and change ALL of the lock on all of his machines now. ALL 400 and however many of them that there are. He told me on the phone that he guesses he won't be seeing us for quite a while. :(
We do have some very amazing friends though, and there has been so many offering to pray for us and whatever else may be needed. I am truly grateful for good friends who help ease some of our burdens! Thank you all so much!

How awful! Hopefully the thief doesn't realize that key will open them all. I was thinking maybe it was some good Samaritan that saw the key sticking out in the machine and took it out so no one could unlock it, but I guess they would have turned it in. Our prayers are with him.
