Q-Abby, you reminded me that I haven't had lunch yet.
My mood is mixed. There are so many prayer needs, and I confess it DOES feel sometimes as if God is tossing the prayers into His wastebasket as fast as they come in. The Christian lady I've mentioned on-forum who as helping an abused wife, has been "repaid" for her kindness by having the woman she helped steal from her! And meanwhile, my Dad is still in the hospital where they're trying to determine what has lowered his red-blood-cell count.
But I am gratified by events in forum roleplaying. This is not so ridiculously trivial as it would seem, because I have been wanting to be able to direct a roleplay plot in ways that would facilitate exposition of the nature of salvation and faith--and it's happening! My thanks to Vanessa for helping to make this possible. Make what possible, you say? Read on:
The Lord Aslan Almighty recently intervened in the world of Wonderland, as in "Alice In," to counter evil interference there by The Snow Queen from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. Unlike Jadis the White Witch (whose creation by C.S. Lewis may have been inspired by the Andersen story), The Snow Queen repented of evil after Aslan had put the fear of death into her. In the days that followed, "Queenie," as she now likes to be called, sought out--and begged the forgiveness of--the most noble and upright mortal man she was acquainted with: Emmett of Silverado, brave gunfighter and now a steakhouse owner. Emmett not only forgave her for her past offenses against him; he taught her vital truths from the Bible; and being assured by Aslan that her conversion was genuine, proposed marriage to her!
Watch for coming news of the wedding plans. When the plans are formed, the entire Dancing Lawn will be invited to attend the wedding, at which it is hoped Aslan will put in an appearance!
