today is the 13th anniversary of when i fell at work and shattered my left elbow into 22 pcs. now, 13 yrs later, i'm recovering from a broken right arm. go figure!! i went into town earlier today and got some lunch. while there, i ran into a guy who roams my old street when he's just out walking. i think he has some kind of scoliosis in his back. he walks hunched over. but he's always friendly and talkative. he asked about my arm, i told him what's going on, and he handed me $65 from his wallet. all he asked is that i don't spend it on booze. i told him i don't frink. he said ok, good.

he said the lord told him to give me that amount. he also said he wanted to give more, but that's all the lord said to give. ever since that guy at the laundry prayed over me, thing are jumping out at me. always at the right time, always in the amount needed at the moment. who am i to argue? just get out of the way and let him work his thing! and for someone who for so many decades was a disbeliever, i can be one no longer. too many things have happened this time around to not see the miracles unfolding. i have no doubt now, that things will be ok, and that i will arrive in NC. i won't say arrive with no more problems, but i'll arrive. and the nice thing is, i'll be making the trip with new teeth, able to chew anything i order along the way.

if being homeless is what it took to open my eyes in a big way, so be it. at least i now know that God is and always was watching over me. i just wish he'd send all the bugs flying around me to some other place. there isn't much to tell tonight, other than my eyes opening to miracles. i have more peace than i did before, even with the uncomfortable sleeping conditions. i am grateful for the changes happening in my life and the people i have come across in the process.
