"unPLANNED!" - revised

I had had to return this book to the library before finishing it, eight days ago; which was a little bit agonizing. I mean, the good thing about having to return it was that it FORCED me to read most of the book. If it hadn't been for that requirement to return it, I doubt I would have made so much progress in the book. Still, though; I wanted to finish it - and I didn't know when I would be able to get it back again. Nevertheless, I put a "hold" on the book as soon as I returned it. Then, on the sixth day of last week (a.k.a. "Friday", which, as I understand, comes from "Freya Day"), I got a notice that my hold: "unPLANNED" was READY FOR PICKUP! It had only taken a week to get it back! And it had been a busy week - so what a relief to, again, get it back. It gives me hope!

I also starting reading two other books, which I have already read: "Tough Times Never Last, but Tough People Do", by Robert Schuller. I think this is at least the third time I am reading that book! And as I read the first chapter at the Genesis Centre? I wept profusely! Actually, I wept and laughed at the same time! It was marvelous! And this morning I opened up "You Can, You Will", by Joel Osteen. Interestingly, I opened it up to where I had tucked a flap of the book - right near the end of the book. Again, guess what I did! That's right! Wept! It was perfect - exactly what I needed.

I have been waking up - ready to get up - at "three-something" AM these days! I love that - because that has not always been the case! These days, however, I sense a shift. A shift in my favour, and I am running with it! "Abba! Father! Please! By all means, 'SEND NOW PROSPERITY!'"

Actually, the whole verse read...eth...

"Save NOW, I beseech thee, O LORD, or Jehovah! O LORD, or Jehovah, I beseech thee: SEND NOW PROSPERITY" Psalm CXVIII.25

I watched Joel Osteen with a Latter-Day-Saint friend, and his Baptist wife on the evening of the seventh day of last week (a.k.a. "Satur(n)Day"), and one verse he cited was:

¹² ¶ Turne ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope, euen to day doe I declare that I will render double vnto thee:
Zechariah 9:12

That is the way I feel. I'm a prisoner of "hope". I cannot help but "hope" - and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sincerely,

Daniel
