“God must be allowed the right to speak unpredicatably.” — Thomas Merton
A quick thought: don’t pack your schedule too tight; leave a little buffer to allow God to surprise and challenge you.
This happened to my brother, Mathew, last week when we walked into a surprise party. There he was granted a honorary citizenship of Poland (after a rigorous exam including the identification of Polish trivia while blindfolded and having to make pierogis)!!!
A real testimony to all the good he has done over the last 10 years working in Krakow.
