Color-Man, 19 June, Bari, Italy
What crushing moments are these--empty and nervous and lonely. Is it true that earth's inhabitants are like grasshoppers before Him?
And truly here is no hope of recovery. Like David, I pray and wait until it is no longer called today. And when his sick baby died, he ceased and said, "Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?" But my human eyes can't see any way that we wouldn't have to go back to Rome. My passport and money could be on any street in Rome or Lecce or Bari.
And it usually goes this way! I pray very hopefully, even that the Lord would mircaulously thrust my white wallet into my lap at this moment. He's able, but he never does things like that for me. When I succeed, it is through natural, predictable means. Yet, He is able.
Who took my passport? Lord, why did it have to be this way? Yet I trust in you, and hope for some immeasurable grace. Yes, Lord--a miracle between now and 15:47.
