A Crooked Yet Straight Path

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God... It is a strange fact that Christians and even ministers frequently  consider their work so important and urgent that they will allow nothing to disturb them.  They think they are doing God a service in this, but actually they are disdaining God’s ‘crooked’ yet straight path. Life Together (Bonhoeffer)

God’s ‘crooked’ yet straight path.  Hmmm.  “If we are working for the God who never sleeps and who is ever sustaining all of life, we should not be surprised that He requires that we be flexible, sensitive and open to redirection.”

There’s good news… and not too bad news… The good news… I found my Birkenstocks… in a bag, in our storage room… mixed in with some plastic jugs and muffin tins!!!  I do often forget them here and there… but I KNOW that I didn’t leave them there!!!!!  Anyhow… I was just happy to have them back again…

“Royce”… well… he is STILL in the shop… its been almost 2 ½ weeks now… they’ve said “mañana” several times now… so we should be getting close to getting him back!!!  Maybe tomorrow!!!!  Each day that goes by without him, I am reminded what an incredible tool a vehicle is… hmmm… hopefully tomorrow…

As for the “motorcycle diary” … the process continues on… The secretary would like some money to “close” the case… the police investigator seems to be more on the motorcyclist’s side of things… Please continue praying for all of this… and continue to pray for Eddy to heal well…  Thanks…

Well…  I’m beginning to wonder if I’m a Jonah (but I can’t think of anything I am running away from!!!) or a Job (although I don’t think I rank up there with the “justness” of Job!!!)

It has been exactly a month since the accident with the motorcycle... Eddy is home and in recovery… He still has to go in for check ups twice a week… please continue to pray for a quick recovery… and that God provides their needs…  there isn’t any way for Eddy to work… and his wife really can’t either because she has to take care of their baby…

As for the case… well… the prosecutor is charging me with a “culpable crime”… basically saying that I was negligent, not prudent and I forget what else… so my lawyer is appealing… The police “investigator” hasn’t investigated anything…. So… that’s where that situation is at…

Each time I’ve talked to the girls about our Mother’s Day activity, and I asked them what they liked the best, invariably, their answers have been the same... “Everything.”

Everything was a big secret...  Suspense grew when we closed off our big room and the girls couldn’t see what was going on...  One of them said about a week ahead, “I’m counting down the hours!"

We called our activity “A Bit of Paradise”... we wanted the girls to feel special, loved... a reminder of God’s love and care... that in His eyes there is no one who is “ugly” or “unlovable.”  The girls had tickets for every area... arranged in different orders so every half hour there would be a movement of people, and the areas would be full...
