I stopped by the bank on my way to work today to take care of the mortgage issue after yesterday’s miracle.  I thought they opened at 8:00 but instead, they open at 9:00.  I start work at nine and it’s an hour drive.  I decided to go through the drive-thru and at least deposit the money.  I asked the teller if I had to go inside for a cashier’s check and she said "Yes, why?"  I told her of my miscalculation in time and said I was late to work.  She said, "I have another customer behind you but if you’ll pull back around behind him, I’ll take care of it for you.

Imagine, a drive-thru teller getting a cashier’s check before the office opens!

To the post office and ZOOM to work.  Just a few minutes late, but all is well.

Happy-lu-yah!

As you know, we have been facing a crisis with our mortgage.  Last week, we were notified by a law firm that we had 10 days to send a specified amount of money or face legal action…again.  My paycheck would arrive too late to accomplish this goal.  Even if I had gotten my paycheck early, it would have to clear before the funds would be available.  We needed a miracle.

At work today, they put all the names of salesmen who had received excellent customer satisfaction ratings in a hat for a drawing.  The prize was two tickets to a Chiefs football game.  My name went in the hat.  My name was drawn as the winner and I was presented with two tickets to the game and a one hundred dollar bill.

Getting to the stadium from where we live would take us about 1 1/2 hours considering the traffic.  Then the money to park which is a lot and so on.  I spoke with my wife and we decided that if someone wanted to buy the tickets, we would sell them and I would take her to dinner instead.  Within an hour, someone bought the tickets for $80.  I then had a miraculous $180 in my pocket.   I also received my paycheck today, one day early.  The bank will let me withdraw a maximum of $150 from the paycheck until it clears.  Armed with that $150, plus the $180, plus the pittance left in the account, I b-a-r-e-l-y have enough to make the necessary payment and if I send it overnight, express mail in the mornint, it will arrive just in the nick of time.

Don’t tell me this isn’t a miracle.

Halleluiah!

Logan has started his schooling for aviation electronics. Here is what he says about it.

It’s fun. It’s all self-done lessons on a pc. You go at your own pace. Im already like twice as far as anyone else in my class. Even my instructor was surprised. He though I was cheating or something, lol. Then he walked away and I heard another instructor say to him "Maybe he’s just smart and has a really good memory."

He is in his element. You give him a computer and let him absorb at his own pace and he will zoom through the material. He gets bored when his mind processes faster than an instructor teaches.

I wanted to say thank you.

As a father, I want to thank you for being such a wonderful son who makes me so very proud.

As a friend, I want to thank you for being that special someone that I can talk to and who can talk to me about anything.

As a Christian brother, I want to thank you for being there to pray for me and I for you.

As an American, I want to thank you for what you are doing and will do for this nation, this people.

It’s impossible to put into words the many reasons I am thankful for you, my son, my friend, my brother in Christ, the protector of our country.

I pray for you daily.  I thank God for you daily.
