ANOTHER DAY FOR RENEWING LICENSE

Hello, This is a post about the second day of trying to get my husband's license renewed. I posted this on facebook about what happened the first day we tried to get his renewed. I then posted an update today. 

The first day was Monday March 1, 2021. My husband's license expired February 28, 2021. We knew he needed to get his renewed and he had a 30 days grace period before he would get a ticket for an expired license. What we didn't know was how hard it would be to just walk in to any Tag Agency to get it done. Our local Tag Agency no longer do new or renewals on license. So we have to go to another Tag Agency in a near by town.    

This has been a nightmare. We have called several Tag Agency that will not answer their phones, or it rings and rings until you give up and try again. My husband found out that some places will take walk-ends, but most will only take the first 25 in their door first thing after opening. We were told about one that took walk-ins all day long till closing at 5:00 p.m. So he decided to go there to get his renewed. I had appointments at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa. Ido not drive in Tulsa anymore so someone has to take me. It is usually our youngest daughter. My husband wanted to take me this time since he had already taken off work to go get his license renewed.   

So on Monday we head to Tulsa for my appointments. He planned to take me first and then go to the Tag Agency. He called ahead to make sure they could get him in that day. They said he could get in line and they would get to everyone they could until 5:00 p.m. He got to got to thinking that if he waited until after my appointments he might not get in. So he decided we could do both at the same time. He dropped me off at CTCA and headed for the Tag Agency. He got there before they opened but there was already fifteen people in line ahead of him.  

The first two or three went pretty fast. One worker told him they could usually do a person in about 15 minutes. So he thought that is great, he would get his license renewed and then come and be with me at my last appointment of the day. But that didn't happen! Mistakes started being made and it was taking about 30 minutes or more to take care of each person. He finally had to leave so he could be on time to pick me up. When he text to tell me he was on his way, there were still six people in front of him. I wish now he had stayed and gotten them renewed. It wouldn't have hurt for me to wait on him. I didn't have any place else to be that day, but he had an eye appointment at 1:30 p.m. in another town. He didn't want to be late for that. 

We kept running into problems after leaving Tulsa. He called one Agency and they told him they couldn't get him in until April. He was told we could go to the Tag Agency in the town where his appointment was, so we drove by the Agency and saw a sign on the door that you have to make an appointment. My husband walked in and asked if he could get his license renewed. They informed him he had to make an appointment. There were 6 women sitting around doing nothing, but couldn't help him for 30 minutes right then. No way hosea, he still had to make an appointment. He scheduled one for April 20, 2021 at Noon.  

On Tuesday, he goes in to work and they ask him if he remembered his license had expired. He told them yes, he did. They asked why he hadn't gotten it done by now. They informed him that you can renew your license and year in advance. Did any of you out there know that? I sure didn't. His supervisor jumped all over him for driving on an expired license. You have a 30 days grace period to get your license renewed. It has been extended to 60 days now. They still wanted him to get them done asap, even after him telling them he had an appointment in April. That wasn't good enough.

So guess what we did today after he got home from work?  You guessed it. We tried to find a place to get his license renewed. Don't rely on what people tell you they know. You need to always call and check the Tag Agencies if they take walk-ins.  A guy he works with told him he could go into the Oologah Tag Agency that day and get his renewed. So we took his word for it and drove over there to find out the guy was wrong.  Another wasted trip. You still had to make an appointment and they didn't have any openings until the last of June.  Only two or three other people in the place. The woman working in there said he could do it online, but he doesn't trust the mail.

We heard of one more place to try.  We drove there, not a lot of people waiting. We thought okay great we will get this done now. He got up to the window and asked if he could get his license renewed.  The 
woman said yes.  She asked him if he had such and such for proof of residency. He did. So then she says we only take walk-ins first thing of a morning and only take the first 25. You will have to make an appointment unless you come back in the morning. Drat!  Another wasted afternoon. His employer will just have to wait until April.

A word of advice, if yours expires this year, call and get an appointment TODAY!  Mine doesn't expire until next year, so I was going to get me the new ID license although I don't need it to fly. I have a passport. We have never flown and do not plan to at all. I haven't made an appointment, but it might be a good idea to make an appointment for next year.

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
