So this weekend the 7th & 8th grade boys basketball team had the end of the year tournament. It was held at our head coach's former school so they allowed us to stay the night, which wasn't the greatest idea in the world, but nonetheless it was a good experience.
As we were leaving Circle Rock the youth pastor mentioned to me that they have been having trouble with the driver's side door of the ministry van. Since I am only the assistant, I was privileged to drive the ministry van, and Christian was driving his minivan filled with the boys luggage. On I-90 travelling 60 mph the drivers side door popped open. Startled, I grabbed the door and tried to slam it shut to no avail. The rest of the hour trip I had to drive with one hand on the wheel and with the other I had to hold the door shut. O the joy! On our way home (Saturday) the door wouldn't shut at all so I had to hold the door the whole way home. The temperature Saturday was a high of 2 degrees. Now, with the door not being closed all the way, not only was my hand/arm cramping from holding the door, but my feet were frozen because of the frigid air.
Now I can honestly say that I will never take for granted a car door closing all the way while driving.
