If someone were to ask me if I had ever seen an angel, I am afraid I could not give a very satisfying answer. But should I be asked if I ever met a messenger of God, then the answer would be an emphatic and unequivocal, "Yes, I have!"

THE ANGEL OF GLORY. I SING THE PRAISE AND GLORY OF THE GOD OF ALL LIFE. THIS ANGEL HELPS ME TO CELEBRATE THE SIMPLE JOYS OF LIFE, ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE GOODNESS AROUND ME AND GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THAT I AM.

If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.

When you sing to God, when you praise him, when you worship him, God gives you peace that you can't understand. He pours on you wisdom that you would not have had you not prayed and thanked Him and glorified him.

++You'll be blessed with a great big chunk of free time today -- so start thinking now about what you will do with it! Or, it might be easier for you to make up a list of things not to do with it -- like shopping, watching television, or surfing the Internet aimlessly. Make sure you use this time for something productive. Bake some cookies, read a book, call up a long lost friend. Do something that doesn't drain your wallet, yet offers some concrete output you can feel proud of.

This could be a good day to get away from people. People may be overly critical and pessimistic today, and your day will revolve around how you handle them. Find a place within yourself and draw upon positive energy from your inner wellspring. You might wear something yellow to enhance your overall health and well-being.

It was a pretty busy day. I had to get the weekly reports out and then work on the reports that are going to be sent to the customers on a weekly basis. We had one container. There were not as many trucks as last week – but a fairly steady stream all day. Tom came up a couple of times and Rick came by. Mostly it was talk about the new organization and how things were going. Okay, I guess.

The big surprise this afternoon at about three fifteen – Mikey called me and he had received the package that I sent out Saturday. That was pretty good and he really liked those pants. He got the card and some cash along with his knife and stuff. This is the first time that he has been so enthusiastic about getting stuff from me. He was using Annie’s phone and it sounded like he was getting prompted by her to ask me some questions. It certainly did make my day and sort of made the fact that it was a little strain all the more bearable. I hope he realizes how much I think about him and wish I could put everything positive in his path. I sort of wonder if he will want me to come down this weekend. I could I guess but again a definite strain. We will just have to see how things develop.
