Jawbreaking Providence

My life right now is being worked out just like a wonderful game of "Jawbreaker." If you have ever played this popular little PDA/cellphone game, you will know what I mean.

In the game, a random set of various-colored balls appears on the screen. A set of two or more side-by-side like-colored balls is worth points relative to its amount. Clicking on a set once tells the prospective number of points, and clicking on it a second time deletes the set. The balls directly above the set then drop towards the lower part of the screen as far as they will go before contacting other balls. The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible by organizing the balls to obtain the highest amount of like-colored balls in one set, then the same for another set, etc.

So what is like "Jawbreaker" recently? Simply the general way things are going. It is so interesting watching God bring a contact here, an opportunity there, a new experience here and there. The amazing thing about it is that it all is working together.

The campaign against REAL-ID, the Butch for Council work, the writing of the (newly completed!) research paper for AiG, and the structuring of our new Scriptorium are only some examples of so-far marvelously successful opportunities to put the Liberty In Law idea into the forefront of the minds of patriotic Americans and Biblicist Christians in the SC Upstate.

What I appreciate the most is that I am NOT the one orchestrating this mega-Jawbreaker scenario. I would be completely at a loss for how to do it. And, even if I could, I would be quite stressed out and exhausted!

This Jawbreaking is called Providence. Our Creator and Redeemer is, thankfully, fully responsible for it. And yes, it may one day break our gasping, amazed jaws!
