Monkey Wrench

So, I've always wondered what this term means. Because tonight Chris and I found ourselves saying "Well, that just throws in a monkey wrench!"

So I wikipedia -ed it and this guy named Moncy invented it back in the 1800s and sold it to his customers for $2000 (that was a TON of money back in the day) in which he turned around and invested the money into a Williamsburg mansion. In the early 1900s people would say "that throws a monkey wrench in the machinery" - so the phrase pretty much means sabotoge.

We'll.... with that researched... we have not been sabotaged. Thank the Lord! We are still well and not even close to sabotage. I will not incorrectly use that term anymore thanks to Wikipedia.

Just when Chris and I thought we had come to a decision about the grad school dilemma, Chris received a phone call from one of the professors. He's an incredibly likable guy and he has been so enthusiastic about Chris. He had fabulous news. Unfortunately, the ability for us to finance Chris' schooling has not been totally revealed yet. I'll let Chris give you the DL on everything in detail when time permits (he's at SC Phil rehearsal right now). But this one little phone call put us back into serious decision making mode. Again.

So why blog today? Because, let's face it. We're always in need of prayers, but we would certainly value them tremendously if you could say a few for Chris this week. We're 100% sure that God has this in the bag. We just need to be obedient and make the correct decisions to get us there.

So has there been a monkey wrench thrown into our plans? Ha, No.
