I had a pretty full day scheduled of 'working on my business' type of phone calls last Friday with the first one beginning at 10:30 am. At 10:20 am I picked up the phone to check my messages and discovered that the phone lines were out. Not one but both. After a few minutes I walked down the street to Millhouse Lodge to see if their phones were out. They were. We finally called Bell South on our cell phone and found out that lines were out all over Henderson County.

After an hour or two of work, I mentioned to Ann that perhaps we should stop work early and go to a movie. As soon as I said it I had this rush of energy and even though I also heard my Inherited Purpose (I must work hard to get ahead so I won't be poor) tell me 'You better not -- nose to the grindstone, etc.' I thanked it for

The moral of the story -- All is in Divine Order, so why not flow with what's flowing and not resist what isn't.
