Yes, isn't that amazing? God does work in mysterious ways, but that's another topic entirely, and it could take lots of pages. *smile* Let's just say, you never know where you will end up and what you might do. Well, the plans of mice and men ...
Warm regards,

Methinks sometimes the ways of God are not so mysterious! You filed
handicrafts class, and I was not permitted to take art throughout high
school...you had to pass a "drawing" test, and I apparently did not draw the
stupid pile of football gear well enough to be allowed into the art club.
God does have a tremendous sense of humor I think.
