Is somebody watching me? Found spiritual book

August 26th, 2009 at 03:38 pm

I was worried about unemployment ending after taking some early actions of calls/searches and reaching dead ends. So I decided to take a short walk around the block.

I saw the nicest thing; a bag of books in front of a brownstone, mostly hardcovers, with a handwritten note on top: 'Please give us a new home'. What a kind thought; you know a really nice person wrote that. It made me smile. I searched through the six or seven books...mostly textbooks and mysteries I had read. Then I found this paperback - LIFE'S NOT FAIR, BUT G-D IS GOOD by Robert H. Schuller.

(Not to be cheeky, but that title would make a great tee shirt).

I opened up to this passage - page 165 'When faced with a hopeless situation'. by Joan Schabacker. She is/was (?) an educator who began a school for dyslexic children. Anyway, Schuller wrote a doctor gave her a prognosis of a terminal illness with 2-5 years to live. (As of the books 1991 printing ,she had lived seven years past that grim prognosis And she wrote this list (each entry has amplification):

'pray,resolve,ask,seek,try.....'

Has anyone read this book? Is anybody interested in this list? Thanks for reading.

    What a cool find. My condo building and the related one next to it each have a "free table"--people leave all sorts of stuff on the table for the taking. We love doing that because there are so many condos in both buildings, someone is bound to want something (and indeed, usually our stuff is gone within minutes if we pass the table again). We've also benefited from things other people have left on the table.

    What a nice way to trade books! Very civilized.
