George shares an experience he had because of the graciousness of the people down here. "You never know who you're going to run into," he said.
Joy
"I asked him (the mechanic), 'How do we handle payment for the (Todd Nester's) truck?' He said, 'Uh, don't worry about it. We'll cross that bridge when we get it (the truck) done.' The truck (after it drove to Somerville for the parts) carrying the parts here broke down and caught fire on the interstate. He said, 'It'll be ready in the morning.' Me, having owned an auto repair shop, I'm going, 'Oh boy, it'll be ready in the morning.' Now, that was the first wrong thing. And God said to me, 'What is wrong with you?' So I get back there last night to pick up the truck, and I had said to him, 'Can we take care of this through check?' And here I learned another listen. He told me, 'All you owe me is for the cost of the part.' They've got have five to ten man hours into the truck at this point. Me and my persistence wants to pay him more, and he said, 'Boy, you're going to be persistent. Aren't ya?' And then I finally got the message. God wacked me in the back of the head. He said, 'Don't steal his joy.'"
