My car's fur coat

Ok. I intentionally refused to blog about it before, but I guess I'll fess up anyway. About a couple weeks ago I hit another deer on my way home from Walmart. I don't know why the blasted thing had to wait until she saw my headlights to dart out in front of me. It was terrible. I pulled over and looked back and it was laying there in the middle of the road dead. I burst into tears. And then I started to hyperventalate. Then the dead dear came out of a coma and jumped up and limped out of the street. So maybe it was only half dead. I still cried the whole way home "NO MORE DEER! NO MORE DEER!!"

Then I moved on. I got over it. Two weeks later and today that deer came back to haunt me. I don't know why, but I hadn't noticed it before. I saw some dirt on my car and I went over to flick it off and then I noticed strands of something sticking out of the bumper of my car. Then I realized it was deer FUR!!! I looked closer and my head light was cracked and my hood is just a little bit dented, you can barely notice it. I don't know why I didn't notice it over the past two weeks. Maybe I wouldn't have been able to handle it if I saw it any sooner. Or maybe my car was just puking out deer remnants that got sucked inside at the time of the drive-by deerslaughter.
Two deer in less than two months. I'll start becoming desensitized after this. Next deer I strike down maybe I'll have it's head mounted on someone's wall.

Or better yet, maybe I'll save the deer fur and tape it into my journal as a keepsake. Haha! No, I'm not that sick. That brilliant idea was just for my roommies.

I think you're becoming desensitized already! Maybe God has some ultimate plan for you in some obscure country somewhere where they routinely kill and eat deer and He's trying to prepare you for that! Who knows...

I was thinking how amazingly brilliant it would be to tape deer fur to you journal. You could even decopage (spelling?) it :)

Oh my Lynette. I think that maybe God is trying to tell you something? This is the third one right? Is there anything scriptural about Deer? Ah, yes... as the dear panteth for the water...
Psalm 42:1-3
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Habakkuk 3:19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
