The Mailbox

I don’t have much to talk about really. I just finished putting up another mailbox for the house since someone decided to hit ours and knock it down. I kind of like myself, and the fact that I take action quickly. Yeah, it was kind of irritating to look out the window and see that some idiot ran into the mailbox and knocked it down, but there was no time to dwell on it. It was late in the evening the sun was about to start going down. That required quick action because I had to get a mailbox before the mailman delivers tomorrow, or we wouldn’t get any mail. So, I didn’t waste any time cursing the person who did it out in my head. I jumped in the car, went to Wal-Mart and stood there for about fifteen minutes just looking like a looker. You know how Wal-Mart is. Anyhow, I decided to pray and ask God what to do. He told me to go to Home Depot. I didn’t know mailboxes were so expensive. I was trying to be cheap about it, and God was like “Why are you being cheap? I’ve supplied you with the means to get what you need now just do it.” I obliged. He told me to go to Home Depot because they had the exact mailbox I need. Quick installation. Half the post was still left from the other mailbox, and this new mailbox just required that I have an 4×4 wooden post already in the ground. Check. All I had to do was install the new mailbox over the old broken post. This was such a relief. I was thinking I was going to have to dig and get cement and all the other riff raff. Turns out, the mailbox I bought looks way better than the old one. It only took 15-20 minutes to install. I’m proud of the work and I owe it all to God. I’m looking out the window now at this new mailbox. It’s way better looking than the old one which was kind of raggedy once I saw it on the ground. It had all kind of spider webs and stuff. We needed an upgrade. Out with the old, in with the new. Who knew a mailbox would have such a story. I’m about to write some lyrics to some songs. That’s all I got. Thanks for letting me share.
