Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with shamefaced gratitude:

“I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now…)”
(Romans 1:13)

Well, now, Jesus…

looks like I’m in good company.

I know I shouldn’t be…

but I’m delighted to see I’m not the only one
whose plans go up in smoke.

The Apostle Paul experienced the same thing!

Yes!!!

Sorry.

You just don’t know how good that makes me feel!

Well, actually, You do.
But it’s hard for me to admit.

Sometimes I feel like such a dunderhead.

I make these big plans.
They sound so good to me that I announce them.

Loudly.

And then…

crickets
nada
nothing.

So when I see Paul had the same thing happen to him –
not just once or twice, but “many” times! –

Well, what can I say?

I really needed that, today.

Thanks.
