So two days ago, I had an early morning bowel movement. And usually, I’d like to keep myself company with some sort of reading material. That time was an old book: “The Children’s Living Bible”. I recalled asking Maw to buy that book for me. It was displayed near a check out stand long ago.
My fingers riffed through the pages; my thumb opened up to a Biblical passage and my eyes read:
Ephesians 2 (Common English Bible)
8 You are saved by God’s grace because of your faith.[a] This salvation is God’s gift. It’s not something you possessed. 9 It’s not something you did that you can be proud of. 10 Instead, we are God’s accomplishment, created in Christ Jesus to do good things. God planned for these good things to be the way that we live our lives.

I got what I asked for. Yesterday, I had asked God: “Why am I still working at this “temp job from hell? Surely, there is someone who is in desparate need of a job than me!” And late last evening, the boss broke the news to the temp guy and me: We will be unemployed on April Fool’s Day. That shock saddened me but I was free! Free at last! Praise the Lord!
God knows that I’m not a good fit for the job. It was too boring and unchallenging. And the location of my cubicle was so disruptive with noises coming from the lock clutch when employees and contractors alike swipe their badge to gain entry to the second level and from the noisy people who walk by my desk.
So that’s good timing for me at least because it’s a good thing as always and something good but not necessarily better will happen. Only “God” knows and my fellow blog readers, of course. So I’ll stop cursing the “back door” users once they pay back my kindness in CASH, of course. It’s only fair if they and their descendants don’t want to suffer eternal damnation!
