9/23/2024 Working with Divine Spirit

        My wife has a medical condition that requires a procedure every 14-15 months. We are out of state. She can only eat diluted baby food half a cup per day. Finding someone to do the procedure right away is a challenge. 

         So I ask Divine Spirit for help. I don't sit and say, ok DS fix it. I have to take action. Phone calls is where I start. After 4 days, I wrote Monday is the day it happens. I call one of the doctors, but today there is a problem, the phone goes to voice mail but It said the voice mail is full. I can't leave a message. 2nd nurse at different hospital I deal with, calls me and says she needs the first doctor who initiated the referral to sign off on the procedure.  She says she will call and get back to me within an hour. No phone call comes after hr passes. Call the nurse after 90 minutes.  She says they didn't get back to her but she will tell me by noon 12:30 rolls along no call. I drive to first doctor and talk to his nurse. Tell her about my wife and  voice mail problem. She says the doctor isn't in. She will tell head nurse. Within 15 min I see a call on my phone, while at store. I call the first nurse back and she got the all clear for the procedure to be done next week. So being persistent pays off. So it's like two pieces of cloth that you want to come together. You act and push and spirit mends the two together. The problem at the hospital where I couldn't leave a message gave me the impetuous to drive on over there. During this whole ordeal,  I had 1 goal and that was a date for an excellent doctor to do the procedure in a timely manner. Thankyou  divine spirit.

9/10/2024 Knock Knock

        Who's there?  Incompetence! No thanks.

        A women wants her bedroom door put in. I go look at the job. A door outside laying against the house. Inside another door in hallway with damaged jambs and trim. What happened here. Her teenage son kicked in her door. Her brother says he'll fix it. Gets 1 door brings it back. It's a left hinge door. Wrong door. Doesn't take the door back to store. Gets another door right hinge this time. Door is still wrong because what was needed was a 30 inch door. Both times he gets a 28 inch door. Another problem was it was a 2x3 wall. Most walls are made of 2x4s. Guy gives up. More work for me because of the 2x3 wall. Have to add a 2x3 to rough opening. Get the door in. I say where is the door knob. It's in my brother's car at his house. Don't worry about it. Two weeks I'm back for something else. I see no knob on door. I ask about it. She gives box of new door knob. It usually goes in fast. I can't get in after 10 minutes because of screw alignment. I noticed before in her neighbors trash a broken door. I go grab it. Cut it up and put in trash but I take off the knob. Put it in her door in no time. Look at box for new knob from Wallmart says ...made in China. Yeah....tell her stuff like this,  forget Wallmart.

       So my 2 week delay and coming early, allowed me to get that knob and save time and money. To me that was a small gift from divine spirit or God if you will.  I've seen this happen many times. The door got damaged so she couldn't bring it back. She was out 150 dollars just for the door. But she did learn a lesson. In one way or another, we do pay for our lessons.

9/08/2024 Good Karma

        This story came from Inside Edition Boston. A car got broken into in Cambridge MA. A German short hair pointer dog named Titus was dog napped. The next day a film crew is setting up near the scene of the crime. When along comes Kyle Gariepy walking a German short hair pointer. The camera man is petting the dog and sees Titus on the collor. They ask him why didn't he call to report the dog situation. He gives two lame excuses. A 911 call went out and the guy got arrested on the spot.

       The happy owner picked Titus up at the police station. Where the two of them had a love fest. That was super fast good karma. Hopefully, Kyle will learn from his experience as well. When leaving your car make sure you lock it. And that the interior doesn't get too hot.  If it's a kid, take him with you. An animal, leave for short duration only.
