when the lord restores the fortunes ...

Received a voice mail this morning from an OPD detective about my bike, mary. Called back and he is in court today, but I have hope of her return!

My bible reading today was Psalm 126. It is cool how the psalmist tells about
'When the LORD restores the fortunes of Zion
- we see it as in a dream -
our mouths shall be filled with laughter,
our tongues, with songs of joy.

Just the hope of mary being restored to me brings laughter and joy to my heart.

I should write a song of joy to the LORD,
maybe even sing it!

It is interested in that before I heard the voice mail this morning,
I decided I can't get an Indy Fab I was starting to think about.
We had to buy another car and our church is having a fundraiser this Fall
to remodel the church, add satellite services, and provide education for pastors
in Mali and China. This is a 3 year commitment to fund these initiatives.

Now I'm praying about giving the money we would have spent on the Indy Fab as a one time gift towards the fundraiser.

Hopefully, mary will be restored to me for sentimental and practical reasons.
Thank you, LORD.

awesome. It will be good to see mary again, I wonder if someone just gave up trying to ride it.
