A remarkable thing has been happening the past week or two. In fact, when I start thinking about it, it seems several remarkable things have been happening. First off, God keeps answering prayer. You know, those ordinary, everyday, seemingly insignificant little prayers that can come out during the course of a day? Well, it seems somebody's listening in on what I'm saying. Just for example, the last couple of weeks has brought about numerous days with rain. I tend to have to be outside for work a great deal of the time, and let me assure you, rain does not make my work pleasant. As a result, I have prayed a number of times that the rain would stop while I was working. To date, for all intents and purposes, it has. On day in particular I had a 2 1/2 hour drive to my first service call and had such severe weather on the way down I literally had to stop at the side of the road for awhile. But, as I approached my first call, the rain cleared up and let off until I was done. Then, when I started driving again, so did the rain. Three calls I had that day of around an hour each, with a dark, stormy sky, and lots of rain, and I went home dry. It's happened before and after too. Tis cool I think.
That was one item of remark. Another is a shift I've begun noticing in my attitudes towards people and situations. Patience is showing it's head again. Concern for others is growing on me a bit. I don't know really specifically, but numerous little things and ways that I'm changing. All this I've noticed happening shortly after I voluntarily gave up an item of sin in my life for no other reason than that it was the right thing to do. Thankyou God!
Monkeys and uncles. Gorillas and grandfathers? Nautical nonsense.
Nycinal:- a mysterious and yet common substance that seems to generate spontaneously in humans, most commonly teenage males. Nycinal seems usually to appear just as, or just before the afflicted individual expresses romantic interest in a member of the opposite sex. This mysterious condition is almost unfailingly diagnosed by that member of the opposite sex in whom interest has been expressed with a ritualistic ceremony that usually begins with, "You're Nycinal, but..." To date, no cure or antidote has been discovered.
