but joy comes in the morning.
(Psalm 30:5b)
All the way to the garage my heart was in my mouth. A loud noise like a piece of metal dragging along the ground made me fear the worst. How much was this going to cost? Was my 20-year-old vehicle about to expire? The mechanic thought it might be the brakes. Instead, it turned out to be a tiny rock lodged between the rotor and the shield. Relieved by this news, I was only too happy to fork over $50 to have the stone removed.
