"Prompt: Tell about a time you struggled to see God’s bigger plan for your life?"

I have had a lot of times that I struggled to see God's plan for my life. For much of my youth I had prophets tell me that God had big plans for my life if I would just cooperate. I believed them and anxiously awaited what God had for me. I tried my hand at several different ministries and failed miserably at them. I became angry with God, not realizing thaat He haad the perfect plan. Then in 2017 I moved here to the Veterans Home. At the time there was no regular chaplain. Several men came in and did Bible studies, but there was no chaplain. I applied for the position and was accepted. Then in 2020 when COVID struck I suddenly found myself the only chaplain and the only person able to continue the Bible studies at the home. I increased the level of activity and used my computers to add Power Point and music to the services. Not only did Chapel survive the pandemic but it actually increased in size! God spent years preparing me for this ministry. I struggled to understand but will never question Him again.

A Traffic Jam  (E) Prompt 2: The rhythm of... the daily commute #1994380 by Sarah Rae

the author Sarah Rae talks about something we don't have in space. Traffic jams. However, now that space is opening up for tourism, there likely will be traffic jams in space. There are an estimated 10,000 manmade satellites in orbit so what am I saying?

Tell us about traffic jams.

I never really deal with traffic jams unless there is a wreck. I live in a samll town. However, I have been in a few. I was in Cleveland once driving in a traffic jam. A driver cut me off and I honked my horn and gav e them some very inappropriate hand signals. At the time I was not a Christian. Anyway, the driver got out of the car, walked back to my car. She was gorgeous. She bent down, kissed me and told me she'd take me up on my proposition!
