"Are you a planner?"

Are you a planner? You know, one of those people who has a Palm or Pocket PC and you carry around with you “the plan,” that day’s schedule and all of the days from now until the twelfth of never. And you know what’s going to happen. At least you think you do…

…sometimes life doesn’t go like you plan. Just ask the guy who walks into a Louisiana convenience store, slaps a $20 bill on the counter, and asks for change. The clerk opens the drawer, the guy pulls a gun and asks for all the cash in the register. The clerk gives it to him and the robber takes off, leaving the $20 bill on the counter.

Care to guess how much was in the register? Fifteen dollars.

Sometimes you plan, expecting certain results, but it just doesn’t work out. There’s some bit of information you didn’t have, or something changed.When you’re making plans, don’t ask God to bless them after you make them. Involve God on the front end of the process. When you do, your odds of success are a lot higher because you’re listening to life!

Hi Dr. Joey, it's Linda B. Giles
I have known you for a lot of years in a lot of ways.

I just want to thank you for the prayer cover that you encourage and organize all over this world/nation/state/locality.

You are a humble man (personally), yet you are bold in speaking the TRUTH of the Word of God.
Your ministry is incredible.

Agape love, Linda B. Giles
