Right Place, Right Time

Because I don't believe in fate, only the hand of God in my life, I know that my right place, right time incidences have been orchestrated by Him. My list is strewn with seeming accidental occurrences : standing outside the brick wall during lunch recess to see a red-haired, freckle-faced boy with black heavy glasses ride by on his red bike; attending a Lowell Lundstrom revival meeting where I had my first altar call; opening my computer and viewing a pop-up ad for a National Endowment for the Humanities invitation to attend Yale University; signing up for free tickets to an ice capades of Cinderella and being chosen as the winner; signing up for a free NASCAR jacket and winning the SWEEPSTAKES trip to Charlotte; defending a thesis and being asked to teach a graduate class. My list could go on to more and more "coincidences" but I believe they were all ordained. I can't wait to see what other "right place, right time" rendezvous appointments HE has in store for me.
