Did you ever have one of those moments when you knew you were doing something wrong and better stop before something bad happens?

It happened to me Thursday morning. I left the house about 6:30 a.m. to make it to the Suffolk Leadership Prayer Breakfast at the armory. I was reporting on and shooting it.

Before pulling out of the driveway, I checked my camera to make sure I had everything I needed. Naturally, there was no card inside, I had taken into my office the previous afternoon to dump some photos and apparently forgot to put it back.

I didn't have any spares either. I immediately started cursing at my stupidity, fairly loudly for that time of the morning.

Then I thought, "This is great. Cursing like a sailor on my way to a prayer breakfast."

So I shut up and started thinking. My choices appeared to be to either go to the office and get my card or go to Wal-Mart and buy one, either of which would have been an inconvenience and caused me to be late for the breakfast.

So I decided to inconvenience someone else. It occurred to me that managing editor Luefras Robinson lives in Chuckatuck and I would be going right be her house on my way to the armory. So, at 6:40 a.m., despite the fact that she had probably been at the office until about 11 the night before, I rang her up. Fortunately, she had one and groggily brought it out to me when I pulled up about 10 minutes later.

I don't normally lose my temper and when I do, it's usually at myself, or my golf ball. So I felt pretty bad about the way I acted this morning and fortunately, had a wonderful opportunity to pray for forgiveness.

As usual, the prayer breakfast was a wonderful event. Emcee Billy Chorey appeared to be at ease before the large crowd and did a fine job keeping things moving along.

The featured speaker, Termite Watkins, noted during his remarks that prior to going off to Iraq to fight terrorist snakes and scorpions, he was a successful used car salesman. It was easy to see why. He spoke with so much enthusiasm and energy I was waiting for him to fly off the dais and through the armory roof.

Suffolk Fellowship did a great job once again and if you get the opportunity to go next year, I highly recommend it.
