In harmony with the world...
Events and happenings in one's life are most often hinged on other events. Call it cause and effect. In this case, I had said to a co-worker that if we didn't work on Sunday, I'd go to church. Well, it's funny how I ended up not only in church, but as a guest in Bible study as well...
It was Saturday night, and the fact that we didn't work on Sunday influenced my decision to go out on Saturday. I almost didn't go, because a week full of twelve hour shifts had worn me down. I wasn't in the best voice, either, because I had been subject to temperatures alternating between warm and extreme cold.
The urge to sing trumped the urge to sleep, it turned out. Well, I sang, but I was also enamored of a certain gal who sang after me. After a bit of deliberation, we wound up singing together, and talked a whole lot more after closing. I wanted to see this woman again soon.
How soon was it? Well, it's odd that someone you meet in a bar can be the one sitting in church with you the next morning. And to tell you the truth, I really wasn't dragging my tail, either. Somehow, I had a new pep in my step, a new glide in my stride, and a glow all over me that I can't get rid of even now.
I'll definitely post more when I know more. Suffice it to say, I'm happier than I have been in a long while. I hope I can sustain this...I'm enjoying it!

Wow! What a cool story!!! God obviously said its your turn \"jaybird\" it IS your turn, and you can say to your self \"I deserve this\" and except God\'s gift. Thanks for sharing an awesome story.
Thank you, runin4k!
I couldn\'t have asked for a better blessing than the lady who completely MADE my weekend! And y\'know what? I\'m not so \"down on myself\" for it, so I will count myself deserving of her...not a simple task when you\'ve gone through life with a sort of guilt complex hanging over your existence.
Thank you doubly for your reassurance, runin4k...and an extra hug, too!
I hope it all works out for you jay! Sounds as though things are looking good so far ! ;)
Thank you, silentnight! She just asked me to be her date for a company dinner, too...things are definitely on the up and up!
Happy for you!!! :)
