When I was in Seminary, every year a joke went through the assembled faculty and students. It went like this:

Wanna make God laugh?

**Tell Her your plans.**

The anniversary of my ordination was last month—33 years ago.

Since then, I’ve written more than forty books, amongst them a whole lot of metaphysical fiction.

And so have heard the same joke, different context, like this:

When something goes wrong in your life,

yell “Plot Twist” and move on.

HEAR ME YELL.

As you can tell, this is a most unusual Ampersand Gazette …

Last Monday, I had a regulation doctor’s appointment scheduled for a physical. While there, my doctor, bearing witness, sent me Direct—do not pass GO, do not collect $200—to the ER.

I got out of the hospital late Friday afternoon.

SO … this is not your usual Ampersand Gazette. Mea culpa.

I AM FINE. SUPERHEALTHY IN FACT, but I had a glitch. The glitch is in the process of healing, and thank God for healers and physicians who take their work to heart.

If you feel so inclined, you could be spiritually helpful and … agree with a whole bunch of us in prayer that I AM SUPERHEALTHY, that the glitch is resolved, that all is well.

You also have the option to be materially helpful, if you are so called. A friend, realizing that neither Tony nor I have an employer who would allow us to elect FMLA, set up a GoFundMe to give us some financial breathing room. Donate here: https://gofund.me/2e5be486

We are SO grateful.

FWIW, this is the Universal Affirmation that we used again and again whilst I was inside … it definitely worked.

Here’s a universal affirmation. It works every time, for everyone, always and forever …

In two weeks, barring life interruptus again,

you may anticipate a far more usual Gazette,

and I thank you for your understanding.

I am, without doubt, certain that And is the secret to all we desire.

Let’s commit to practicing And ever more diligently, shall we?

Until next time,
Be Ampersand
