But that\u2019s what he said. Come to think of it, I\u2019ve had days like that, days when I just knew that I had prepared well and planned the day correctly.

May your plans and mine work for the glory of God in 2009 \u2013 at least 60% of the time. \u201cMay He grant you according to your heart\u2019s desire, and fulfill all your purpose\u201d (Ps. 20:4).<\/p>\n
