Timing

I came out of church last night (Kensington Commons, again), and - again - prayed for "perfect timing" with the number 1 bus. This time, once again, it was perfect; but with a definite twist! See, the bus wasn't right there at a red light, as it had been last time. Therefore, I decided to try texting Calgary Transit, because - when it works - they tell you when the bus will be arriving. The last couple of time I had tried it, it hadn't worked, though - and yet you still have to pay for sending the text message (especially when you are me, and you do NOT have "unlimited" anything on your cell phone! Now, it only costs 20 cents per text, but I still don't like wasting 20 cents.)

I sent the text... Again! It came back saying, "this service is unavailable"... Guess what I did then!... That's right! I roared! Then I tried to find a number 1 schedule in my backpack. I had a lot of schedules, but not a number 1 schedule. Then I realized there was a schedule in the pocket of my blue jacket (which I had not been wearing over the summer). I pulled it out, and it was a number 1 schedule. I was trying to look up the arrival time, when... there was the bus coming!

Therefore, again: the timing was perfect, but in a different sense this time! Obviously, God must have known I need to get a "roar" out of my system; which certainly happened.

This morning, as I walked from the bus stop to work? More roars! It was early enough that there was hardly anyone around. Whence those roars? Garret. A twenty-year-old with one last week to go at the company I work at. I was wrestling with what to do about him.

He doesn't just swear. He says the unspeakably obnoxious word that refers to the womb - but it starts with "c". He did it again today, and I made a written record of it. I think he reads those records of mine, too - and he might be pretty angry about them. Please pray for me - and him! I certainly have no pleasure in his death; and if he goes around being "over-much wicked" like that, he WILL die!

Also, I put up a "War-Room" poster by my desk. That is a movie that will be showing in theatres in Canada starting on the 18th. I was invited to a screening, and went, and was definitely impressed.

Sincerely,

Daniel

P.S. I put a real fat envelope in the mail over the weekend - big enough that I put two stamps on it, to make sure it goes through! :)
