Update: I'm not dead, yet!

What a hectic week! My month of housesitting for a friend is at its end, I've made phone calls to friends and churches now numbering in the triple digits, and still I've managed to catch up with quite a few friends.

One major prayer concern I want to share with you is Virginia. You may know Virginia firsthand, or (hopefully) you'll meet her soon--along with me, that is. Virginia is my lovely, thirteen year old Lincoln Town Car. She is one sassy lady that I very fortunately inherited from my parents last year. Since I've been with her, she has served as my personal assistant, a portable sound system, and a spacious office on wheels. She is certainly a blessing to have and drive; she's real sweet even though she might qualify for this fine establishment. A photo introduction, if you haven't met before:

Poor Virginia has been suffering in this sweltering summer heat wave. So much so that she has been finicky about when she'll start. Guess you might call her a little cranky.

Obviously, my spiritual gifts do not include telling jokes.

The sad truth is that we (and several kind mechanics) haven't been able to figure out what exactly is wrong, but Virginia has got to last through this summer.

So, though it may not seem like much, would you pray for the logistics in my life to settle? It's difficult to make and meet for appointments when I'm nervous I'll lose a carburetor. Especially because I don't know what that is!

It's essential that I be able to meet with people so I can share personally how God has been drawing me to Sweden since I was voted best dressed in high school (more about that real soon!). In the meanwhile, I'll be posting some of my less rambling stories here. I'd still love to meet with you--let's set up a time, shall we? You can email me at maleah [dot] pusz [at] uscm [dot] org.

The great news is that if you lose a carburetor, you weren't driving Virginia at the time. Or somebody put a carburetor in the trunk.

Virginia is a fuel injected lady. Like Splenda, she has zero carb(uretor...I am so sorry for that malicious pun...)s per serving.

I will be praying for her. And for you. what percent are you at of the total goal?

As of this moment, 3.75% and holding. Thanks for checking, friend!

I have a dinner appointment tonight and many, many second- or third- callbacks to make tomorrow.

I also just received a huge list of new contacts from a good friend at breakfast this morning, so there's a lot left to be done. All is definitely not lost.
