Roadtrips and Kumquats

So I have come to a conclusion...never again will I volunteer to drive for a roadtrip. Now, I love to drive and all, and I don't mind offering up my vehicle...there's just one problem-I drive a stick. Now, I love my car, and even more so, I love that it's a stick. I think that it just makes driving that much more fun. However, I have the unfortuneate ability to attract riders that don't know a clutch from a kumquat. Take the last roadtrip I went on for an example. We left from Kansas City to head out to Denver for a Christmas Conference with Campus Crusade for Christ at 2 in the morning. I groggily drove the entire way while my passengers enjoyed their naps...naps are nice. Well, we all made it safely to Denver and enjoyed an amazing week of spiritual renewal, which definitely improved my mood. There's just something about worshipping with over 1000 other college students that can really humble you and remind you of your place in the universe. I am definitely looking forward to seein what the Lord has in store for me the rest of this semester...hopefully it will include more roadtrips with great friends...just in someone else's car :)
