16,352. A WONDERLAND OF MIGHT AND GLORY

A WONDERLAND OF 
MIGHT AND GLORY
A Chaplain came to see me, three times in a week;
he said his name was 'Norm.' That was OK by me, 
and - when were done - (first visit), he gave me a
Gideon's Bible, the kind hotels and motels all
used to have. It was a kind and gracious gift, 
thought I - all those episodes of power and
strength. Norm was pretty meek, though
with the Word he kept a certain power.
-
He left by telling me to take to heart the
words of psalm 139: Every word in it; and
that I can do nothing except accept whatever
God has already written for me, a script
from before I was born: cryptic,
mysterious, and already settled.
