When I started this blog a few years ago I was certain.  I didn’t know if I would be disciplined enough.  Or have enough to say.  Or whether I would just have enough at some point.

But, here we are.  And more to come!!

18 kids showed up.

There was a waterslide.  A hot tub.  And a small pool.

Splashes, chlorine and fun.

Along with a birthday party atmosphere.

All in all, a good time had by all.

I had forgotten.

This afternoon I worked on two upcoming meetings.  Both the agenda and the accompanying documents.  Part of this required putting together some binders of meeting minutes.  Another part was looking over previous actions and deciding what needs to be followed up.

In past years this was a pure pleasure to me.  Nowadays I’m much more involved in person-to-person interactions (I was at the hospital, at a meeting with others and enjoying a lunch today!). 

The pleasure is still there.  Organizing and preparing so that others can work with me in putting together action plans.

Oh, the things that we enjoy!!

I’ve thought on this for the last few weeks.

I like the idea that coincidence is just God anonymously fulfilling his plan.  Seems to work as a working definition.  I am becoming more and more convinced that nothing happens without God in it.

Today I saw someone I had planned on contacting but wasn’t sure I’d be able to reach them.  Walking down a hall.  Both in the same place at the same time.  Without a prior appointment.

It’s as though there had been someone providing the ingredients to make the incidence happen.  That’s what I’m calling provide-nce.
