What a tank of gas

What a strange week it had been... let's start from the first.
Hello, November first! Six more weeks of school! Let's do this! I ate lunch with a freshman at DA I knew for a while from church. This was the first time I actually got to talk to her for real. Good and meaningful conversations we had. She brought up high school relationships : /
On Tuesday, while driving to school on the 280, I saw the remains of a very recent car accident. I could not have arrived more than a few minutes after the accident actually occurred, for I was forced to brake from 75 mph ish to 0 with a Suburban SUV enlarging itself in my windshield. To the left, in the safety lane, was a red Honda Insight which didn't seem damaged. In front of the Insight was some other red car to which I do not remember about, except for the fact that it didn't look damaged either. On the four lanes were endless shards of glass, quite dangerous, especially if somebody were to receive a flat tire upon trekking through the glass to get on with their commute. To the right, as I was passing the wreckage, was a red GMC truck. Two men were getting out in similar red shirts, looking to the wrecked car behind them. The wrecked car behind this red GMC truck was, to my fear, a C-class of the same model I drive. The hood was smashed up, the bumper was gone (I almost ran over it while performing a lane change), the air bags deployed, and a person was helping the person in the driver seat out of the car. As for the car itself, the owner had spent, probably, $3000 just on his rim and tire and suspension modifications. The car was lowered, and on some expensive rims (which must be used with more expensive tires). On this same day, I filled up a tank of gas and decided to see how many MPG's I could get if I drove more economically, by sticking to the speed limit, refraining from high-revving accelerations, and generally unnecessary use of the gas pedal.
Wednesday, the traffic built up on the 280 much like yesterday, except there wasn't a car accident as far as I could see. I credit the traffic to the Giants parade.
Friday. As I was going to school, I passed yet another car accident. Stevens Creek and De Anza Blvd. junction. Apparently, a white Prius had managed to crash into the sides of a red GMC truck (again?), a blue Toyota Sienna, and a black Honda Civic. The Prius looked badly damaged, as was the Honda Civic, to which the front end had been decimated by what seemed to be the Prius running into it. The Sienna suffered front end damage, whereas the GMC truck was hit at the rear left fender and wheel well area. Don't think I am kidding either, because I am not:

I learned that a friend accepted Christ as his personal savior this weekend. Praise God!
What. A. Week.
Of course, there's always Sunday!
I was given a book on small group ideas named "Discipleship Journal's 101 Best Small-Group Ideas" and in preparation of the discussion on the seventh, I read ideas 1-10. From just these ten ideas, I was able to come up with a more cohesive, more organized, and more engaging "lesson plan" compared to the last couple ones I had. Although I wrote it out Sunday morning, I must say, the discussion the group had this time around was livelier. I asked more questions, more answers came up, more people talked, there was a bit of personal sharing.
I thank God so much for His hand in these Sundays. I ask from Him to give me what He wants me to say, I ask from Him to open hearts, to defeat fears, I ask from Him a good time of fellowship in His eyes. Every week I know He hears my prayers. Praise God.
