I want you to know,

         brothers and sisters,

that what has

      happened to me

as really served

to advance the gospel...

             Philippians 1. 12

(Nothing is random,

and sorry,

but it may not be about you

                     after all.

But in this favorable time

            or really hard place,

seek out God's vision in this.

It may be a new opportunity

to proclaim the gospel.

                It most likely is.

You are strategically positioned

      and divinely appointed.

I am very aware that

if Paul was not placed in prison,

he would not have had the time

to write the epistles.)
