lovin' the scrap metal junkyard!











if you've watched HGTV you'll know that it takes a special kind of person to love a scrap metal junkyard. Apparently i'm that kind of person. I love flea markets, garage sales and yes...now i'm a big fan of scrap metal! I think of the "trash to treasure" shows and my son thinks of "junkyard wars" wanting to create things that race and blow up. Either way, it has a little bit of everything there. On one end of the junkyard are the big machines that claw your metal out of your truck- amazing! and then there is the machine that smooshes it all into Wall-E cubes. Then my favorite part where they grab what they think someone may be interested in and put it aside to sell. There are piles of broken chainsaws, helium tanks, restaurant equipment, claw foot tubs, bicycles, parts of old trucks, street signs, welded creations, fire extinguishers, and barrels of rusty horse shoes just to name a few things. Carson picks up a railroad nail and holds it up and says "I bet the nails they used to put Jesus on the cross, looked a lot like these". Silence. He's right, they were probably very similar - what a somber thought. Man! Imagining that piercing his hand was almost too much to think about. God is so good to suffer so much for me. WOW! Thank you Jesus!
