ANN & LUCY SURVEY THE TROOPS

Lucy receives the weapons from Miriam and goes on a road trip to the Front.

THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor...Chapter Seventeen
                                                                                                                                                                 
On Thursday we received 1,000 more weapons from Miriam. We cataloged and registered them and then Lucy decided that we would take the guns to the front ourselves. We took a huge older car that had room for the three of us, and a driver, and all 1,000 of the assorted weapons. It was a six-hour drive, and we were excited to see six heavily-armed soldiers step out in front of the car and check to see who we were. It looked like all was going well for our troops.

When we entered the camps we saw that the soldiers were practicing at a newly set up firing range and so we made our way to the mess tent and had a cup of coffee.

Soon General Rand appeared to see why we were there visiting him. He was in charge of half of the soldiers that would be at the Lantel River and then march to the Selve border. We showed him the weapons and he was ecstatic to see them. Now all of his men would be armed with the latest technology.

General Rand took us to the officer's war tent and we got to meet General Cummings who was going to be in charge of the other half of the soldiers and march them west to the ocean and then north to Selve.

Everything looked to be in good shape and ready for the march through Emon to the Selve border; and then, in less than two weeks, to attack Selve and all of Gog's soldiers.

The mess sergeant fixed us a beautiful dinner of fresh trout, rice, and a big salad. For dessert he brought out homemade cookies. After our dinner we left once again for Delta.

On Friday, Lucy and I went on a trip all through Delta and her outskirts to ask people with gardens to give half of their crops to the URA, particularly the Emon soldiers. We met with great success, and the carts we had brought along were soon filled to overflowing.

We established a regular route, where, twice a week, the carts would go to the people with gardens and collect vegetables and eggs, and then the carts would roll on to the soldiers in the field.

Another stop at the pier, where fishing boats docked, netted us three tons of fish and a promise of another three tons every other day. We watched as the fish-carts rolled off to the front.

On Saturday we received 12 trucks filled with grains and vegetables from General Coleman's farmers. There was also a promise that trucks would come twice a week for the duration of the war.

Lucy was very pleased that everything was falling into place. Her soldiers would be ready to start marching to Selve, on this upcoming Monday morning.

Saturday night, Lucy took me to Le Span for dinner. We sat and relaxed, enjoyed the ambiance of Le Span, and fielded questions from the other diners. We walked home in the soft, warm, spring night and listened to the hoots of the owls and the songs of nightingales. We felt at peace and looked forward to seeing the ship tomorrow.

Sunday morning at 6:30, Alice knocked on the door. We let her in while we finished getting prepared for the day; then we all went for a walk in a park near Lucy's apartment. As we walked around a small lake we said a quick prayer, I pressed the invisibility button, and then thought us back to the ship.

TOM:

When I arrived at the armory, I said hello to the other officers and went in search of Wills.

Wills was with his men making sure they were receiving all of the training that they needed. Currently, he was watching them fire rounds at targets in the shape and color of Selves. The men were excellent sharp shooters and they also practiced throwing knives at the targets.

When Wills spotted me he came over and gave me a hug, then asked what I thought of his men and their abilities.

I assured him that the men were really great marksmen and he beamed with pride.

I asked him what we were going to do next, and he told me that tomorrow he, Bond, and I were going on a spy mission. We would leave Wale's borders and travel around Vulpan to the Selve border. We would be looking for Selve infiltrators.

I was really excited by the prospect and I helped Wills prepare three backpacks for us to carry. We each would also carry a semi-automatic rifle and, in a holster, an automatic pistol. There would also be three knives on my person.


Tomorrow is once again philosophical prose day and a day of rest. May you have a wonderful weekend.

GOG IS FURIOUS AT HIS COUNTRYMEN

Gog is furious at his subjects for revolting and lashes out at them.

THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor...Chapter Seventeen
                                                                                                                                                                 
Gog stood with his hands on his hips and stared out the window at the chaos below.

How dare my subjects resent my orders! They have to do as I command, or otherwise I'll hang the lot of them. That's it; hangings will begin tonight. That should do it.

Gog began to pace. Why are they so upset? Three days without rations wasn't so long a time, a little fasting will do them some good; besides, they could always catch fish or eat kelp.

You would think that a real man would want to serve his country, but these lay-abouts have no patriotic feelings. I'll show them, I bet they won't be grousing anymore when a few of their colleagues have their necks stretched.

At least they get rations when they work for me. And what is that about having their slave go in the army in their place? What a laugh! What do they take me for, a fool? Just wait and see what happens when I take the man and his slaves into the army.

Selve was in turmoil, and huge crowds, seething with rage, stormed Burgess Hall looking for the rations promised to them. Armed guards pushed the crowds back and set up a line for soldiers to get their rations. There was no line put up for the starving citizens.

Gog's soldiers were having a hard time gathering recruits. They knocked on doors and demanded that any male 16 to 35 years of age come with them immediately. They faced various reactions-all of them violent-from the newly shanghaied recruits: a punch in the face or stomach; a drawn weapon; or a knee to the groin followed by swiftly disappearing feet. However, the soldiers persevered, and by the end of the week they had corralled almost a thousand new recruits.

Keeping the recruits was another question. There were many new recruits found with bullets in their backs as Gog handed down a new law: if you resist service you can be shot on the spot or hung as Gog saw fit.

Hanging began that night. Fifty-seven Selve men of all ages were lined up along one street that had a number of tall trees, which came in handy for hangings. Gog had pictures of the hangings dispersed throughout Selve with great success.

Thirty-eight fishing boats went out on the ocean to fish and 32 came back. Six had taken on water and sunk; although the crews had been saved. The remaining 32 boats had managed a catch of only 16 tons in total. That would help the army but not begin to feed all of Selve.

General Avery chose his 80 spies carefully and placed Rave Gilbert and his men, in pairs, all along the border of Selve with the goal of infiltrating Emon, Voun, and Wale and finding out what their leaders were up to.

ANN:

It was 4:30 p.m., before I found Lucy and Alice hard at work in the Business offices. The first shipment of 1,000 soldiers were leaving for the Wale-Emon border in the morning and Lucy and Alice were making sure that they left with enough food and supplies to carry them over two weeks.

The supplies included fishing equipment in one cart, so the soldiers could catch fish from the Lantel River as long as they were stationed there. They could also fish the Opus River when they had marched that far.

Alice was busy registering the new weapons that Wills had sent over for them and preparing to receive the 1,000 guns from Miriam.

Lucy set me to figuring what kind of ammunition was needed to go along with the weapons they already had ready to go. I did an inventory of what we had, and a list of what we still needed.

We sent five groups of 1,000 men each to the Wale border over the next five days. Each group rode there in trucks, carts, and even private cars; once there, they set up the mess tent first and then dug holes for latrines. After these basics were accomplished the soldiers put up their own tents and were essentially ready to be trained. They went fishing once their tents were up and pretty soon they had several buckets full of trout ready for the mess sergeant.


Tomorrow Ann, Lucy, and Alice drive the extra weapons to the soldiers at the Wale-Emon border.

EXPLORING KOR IN A SPACE SHIP

The energynauts and the leaders of the URA are having their weekly meeting in the space ship and take their first ride in the space ship to explore Kor.

THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor...Chapter Sixteen
                                                                                                                                                               
Tom and Ed took General Patrick on a tour of the ship, and Lucy, Miriam, Alice, and Wills worked on ammunition needs for Lucy's soldier's weapons.

Glenna and I prepared and served fried river trout, garden salad, banana squash with sugar and cinnamon, scalloped potatoes, French-bread garlic toast, and rice pudding with raisins. We enjoyed the meal and then didn't want to move for 15 minutes.

Finally, Tom brought us out of our stupor by reminding us about the ride we were about to take.

We went through our lock-down procedure to stabilize and immobilize anything that could move during take-off, which took about 10 minutes. We had everyone sit in chairs and strap themselves in with seat belts and harnesses, then Tom and Ed sat down at the controls and Tom said, "Relax. Your heart may rise to your throat, but that is the sensation we get as we move away from gravity and shoot straight up. You are absolutely safe if you are strapped in tight."

With that said, Ed took the controls and started the Fluxithon that initiated the confrontation between matter and anti-matter, producing a great deal of energy that powered the ship and all of our equipment.

A second later we were a mile high and the ship hovered while everyone got their bearings. It was a beauty of a day, but Miriam and Lucy were having trouble adjusting to a see-through floor, walls, and ceiling. They had the sensation that they were going to fall from the sky but after about ten minutes they lost their fear once they realized that they were perfectly safe.

The invisibility shield was on as we flew as close to the ground as was safe, and began a circle around Vulpan. We saw the gold and silver mines of Selve and the concentration camps and crematoriums. We marveled at the mountains and forest surrounding Vulpan.

We saw beautiful, restful, Lake Como and the fields, farms, and rivers of Wale. It looked like a giant patchwork quilt from the sky above it.

Plange Bay came up next with her multicolored yachts and fishing vessels. Then the Salt Palace loomed before us, and the rows of Victorian homes. Voun was a beautiful country with wild woods and heather-covered foothills.

We saw a lot of human military activity at the borders of Selve and Voun, across the Salis River, and saw again-as if to burn it into our retinae as well as our hearts-the internment camps and crematoriums; the piles of bodies; the cries of the inmates. We had had to come down really low in order to be able to see into the compounds at all, because the black and brown smoke from the crematoriums hung thick and low over the camps.

We passed over Wills' base camp, saw that it was safe and sound, and then on to Mano. We hovered over Gog's Palace and tried to imagine what it was like inside. We flew over the Parliament Building, Burgess Hall-which was huge-and the Fuseball Stadium where Gog held his rallies.

When we reached the Avondel River, which was the Emon-Selve border, we again saw a great deal of military activity and all of our antennae went up.

We were over Emon now, and saw the desert to the Northeast, and the plains from the Avondel River to Delta. We came to Delta and Lucy pointed out the various colleges that made up the University, and the circle-neighborhoods that made up the outskirts of the metropolis.

Next, we swung out over the Olan Ocean and circled the planet. We explored the ice caps and the one large ice world, which is covered with animals of all manner of shapes and sizes; colors and types.

Finally, we flew far above Kor and around her many-cratered moon, Lumena. Looking back down at Kor was like looking down on a mountain of sapphires and emeralds. It took everyone's breath away, and we all sat quietly as we re-approached Kor and set ourselves down on our previous base.

We unlocked our seatbelts and harnesses and stood up to get the kinks out of our joints and muscles. Our guests were all talking at once. They loved the ride and they had seen their own countries, and all of Kor, as they had never seen them before. I could tell they each were very proud of their own country and proud of Kor, also.

After 15 minutes Tom called us back to the table and asked what we had observed on our trip.

"I'll go first," said Adam. "Seeing the camps and the enormous stack of corpses waiting to be burned has galvanized my will. Can we wait two more weeks to free those prisoners? Will anyone still be left alive?"

"I am sure that everyone here is asking themselves the same questions, Adam. I don't know the answers to those questions, but if we strike prematurely, before we're ready, we may do more harm than good," said Tom.

"I noticed that there was a lot of activity at the borders of Selve and our various countries. It looked to me as if Gog may be getting ready for war. I think we need to send out some spies in Emon, Voun, Wale, and the area surrounding Vulpan," remarked Lucy.

"I will take care of that as soon as I get back to the base this evening," responded Adam. "We will send out 600 of our Special Forces soldiers; soldiers who have been trained in guerrilla warfare. They can go straight to the borders of Selve and see what is going on."

"I see that a major bridge in Voun has been razed," said General Patrick. "I am sure glad to be warned of that; now I can detour."

"I was glad to see all of Emon at one time. Now I understand what my officers tell me about troop movements," said Lucy.

"Kor is really beautiful. I hope that after this war, we can all be friends and get to visit and enjoy each other's countries," remarked Miriam.

"I was really glad to see that my base is still secure, but it concerns me seeing all of the military traffic in Selve. I hope I've left enough men behind to keep her secure," Wills said.

"Did you all feel that the trip was worthwhile?" asked Ed.

"Oh, yes, it was an experience I will treasure all of my life," replied both Alice and Bond.

"Good. We may make the ride a part of our weekly meetings in order to gain information on how Selve's Army is advancing. Two weeks from today we will make our move and wipe-out Gog and all of his men.

"This week is critical for training and advancement for our officers and soldiers, and once again, you will have our companionship and help, so, what say we close our meeting for today and get back to our own countries," asked Tom.

"Yes, that's a great idea," said Adam. "We have our plates full at home, and many projects to work on."

We all got up from the table and said our goodbyes. Then we all left the ship and locked her hatch.

Each of us took our friends to their respective homes and then returned to the ship.

We decided to take Monday morning to clean the ship and prepare her for our next meeting with our friends. Glenna and I cleaned inside and prepared a meal and dessert for next Sunday.

Tom and Ed gave the ship a bath and checked her wiring. Then they both laid down for a short rest and Glenna and I decided to lie down also.

At about 2:00 p.m., we all woke up and began to prepare to leave for our friend's homes.

At 4:00 p.m., we stepped outside of the ship and went immediately to where our friends were waiting.


Tomorrow we visit Gog, who is in a major snit, and learn how his programs are working in Selve.

THE SECOND MEETING ON THE SPACE SHIP

The second Sunday meeting of the allies as they plan their war and discuss problems and triumphs.

THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor...Chapter Sixteen
                                                                                                                                                             
Tom worked his way up the stairs to the ship's hatch, opened it, and let us all climb aboard. He ushered us into the middle of the ship and we all sat around the map table, except for Trev and Julie who sat in the dining nook and watched Bugs Bunny cartoons and ate cookies and fruit, and drank lemonade.

Tom called for order and said that he had an exciting idea if everyone was agreeable. After lunch, we would all take a two-hour flight on the ship as we explored the entire planet of Kor.

"We can go over all of the roads and river ways, and have a much better idea of where our soldiers will meet possible problems, or find short cuts that will save them time.

"I am sure you will all be taking notes and making drawings as we travel, and then we can discuss what we see when we get back to our base.

"Is everyone o.k. with that?"

Everyone said "yes!" and we all began talking at once.

"First," said Tom, "let's all get acquainted with General Samuel Patrick who is new among us today.

"Stand up Sam; we all go by first names here. Tell us about yourself and why you have come into our little, but powerful group."

"My name is Samuel, or Sam, Patrick and I am Miriam's highest ranked general and leader of the Voun forces. Miriam has given me the gift of hope; hope for a righteous battle; certainty of a win, I am extremely grateful to be able to join with you all."

Tom thanked General Patrick and then asked Wills how things had gone. Wills told the story of their battle against Gog's men and finally getting everyone into the armory safely with help from Miriam and Bond and their salt-mine trucks.

Lucy then spoke up and said that they had been successful in recruiting 4,000 men and women including 300 officers. 1,000 of the old ERM soldiers had been sent to the Wale Armory to take part in the Special Forces unit and the remaining 1,000 ERM officers and men and the 4,000 new recruits, had been sent to the Wale-Emon border, and spread out along the Lantel River. Food, salt, and supplies were sent with them, and the new recruits were being trained on-location.

"Thank you, Lucy and Wills. How did things go for you, Miriam? Adam?

"Things have gone well as far as recruitment goes," said Miriam, "Glenna and I have been on a road trip going from city hall to city hall for town meetings to raise support for the war effort, and recruit new soldiers. General Patrick, meanwhile, has been preparing to train the new recruits, choosing men for the Special Forces unit, helping with transportation for Wills' men, and gearing up our weapon and ammunition factories to help arm all of these new recruits.

"I am wondering if you know how many weapons you will need, Lucy?"

"Thanks for asking, Miriam. We have 4,000 weapons and need at least 2,000 more."

"I have about 1,500 weapons that I can spare, Lucy. They are yours if you want them," said Wills.

"I will then provide you with another 1,000 guns by next Friday," offered Miriam.

"Thank you Wills and Miriam. I will gladly receive them and then I'll also need to order ammunition from you, Miriam. Will that be possible?"

"Yes. We'll talk this afternoon, and I'll take your order. Let me know how many weapons of each type that you have now and will have from Wills and myself."

"Thank you both very much," replied Lucy. "I will check for that data during our break."

"As for me," proclaimed Adam, "this has been a great week! Thank you so much for deciding to come to us and help us out. Without Ed, we couldn't have gotten everything done in time for the incoming recruits. We are now prepared to train the new recruits, and the Special Forces unit.

"We will be setting up a solid communication network between our three countries, starting tomorrow morning.

"Everything seems to be falling into place, and I am very confident that we can win this war."

"Thank you Miriam and Adam. The four of us are delighted to be able to come and work with you. It gives us the feeling of being needed and a part of the action.

"Shall we break for lunch now, friends?" asked Tom.

"Sure!" said everyone at once.


Tomorrow we take a long ride in the space ship as we gather information about each of the countries of Kor.

USING FORCE TO CONTROL A NATION

Gog had just finished his radio speech to all of Selve; and now comes the enforcement.

THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor...Chapter Fifteen
 
Gog left the radio station without fielding any questions and went directly to his war room to await his generals. All of the generals arrived in the war room by 8:30 that night.

"General Lowe, how did the food gathering go?"

"It went well in some ways, and not so well in others. We covered about three square miles today but it was slow going because no one wanted to give up their food. We left people angry and in tears but we left with the food. As for the fishing industry, it is practically non-existent. I found a total of 40 fishing boats of all types. None of them were in great condition, but I got the owners busy on repairs."

"We will find ourselves with an army and no power for it to run on!" screeched Gog.

"Yes, sir, we will increase the number of carts and get the food rounded up and stored away, and I will keep pressure on the fishermen. I am also organizing a unit of soldiers to harvest kelp."

"Good idea! We will need everything we can round up.

"General Avery, have you organized spy details yet?"

Yes, sir, I have a crack-smart unit of 80 trained guerilla fighters-officers and men-who will go out in teams and thoroughly cover all of Kor. We sent them out five hours ago and expect word from them shortly. The team is led by a fan of yours, Rave Gilbert. He sure is a young firebrand!"

"Yes. Well then, how are you doing in preparing for training our new soldiers?"

"I have outlined a training program and am going to start implementation of that program right after this meeting is over.

"Very well, now, General Vean, how did enlistments go? Was there any resistance to the new laws?"

"There was quite a bit of resistance sir. The public seems to be working itself into a revolution..."

"STOP! What you are speaking is heresy! I will not allow them to revolt. Kill any person who begins to speak sedition!"

"Yes, Sir!" answered General Vean.

"Good. General Rusk, have you begun to receive new recruits and are you organized enough to handle them?"

"We are scrambling, Sir. We do not have housing for any larger army than we already have, so soldiers will have to go to their homes at night, but General Avery has a good plan for training the new recruits quickly so I believe we can get your newly enlarged army up and ready in two weeks."

"And are you planning the attacks on Emon, Voun, and Wale?"

"I have an outline in mind, but I will make refinements as information from our spies comes in. I will know more tomorrow."

"All right, good work men, but no more seditious remarks. We are going to do whatever it takes to win this war! Any doubts about this?

"No sir!" chorused the four generals.

"You are dismissed."

Gog signaled for his limousine and went home to his palace of a house. His wife had gone out with her girlfriends so he had the house to himself. The butler served him a meal of opalescent fish, tossed salad, asparagus, baked potato, and custard with raspberries. It was washed down with a deep red grape wine.

Replete, Gog took a long soak in his bubbling bath and then sunk into his big, deep feather bed. He soon drifted off and slept like a baby.


Tomorrow the energynauts and the Korians have their second war council on the silver ship.

                                                                                                                                       
                       

GOG LASHES OUT AT HIS PEOPLE

Selve is in an uproar and Gog lashes out at the citizens of his own country.

THE GOD GAMES: Legend of KOR...Chapter Fourteen
                                                                                                                                                                 
All of Selve was in an uproar. The troops who had attacked Will's convoy had finally straggled back into Mano, telling tales of massive troop movements of some Selve and Voun soldiers in the direction of Wale.

Gog was beside himself. How dare anyone attack his men! How dare they think they can come against him! Well, he'd show them, to their eternal sorrow.

Standing in front of his generals, Gog said, "We are at WAR!

"General Vean, I want our borders tightened. Make sure that no traffic, except our military, can enter Selve. Second, I want every man between the ages of 16 and 35 to volunteer for the military; they are to be given no choice in the matter. If they can stand up and shoot a gun, they are enlisted."

"Yes, sir!" General Vean replied.

"General Avery, you are in charge of intelligence. I want spies out in force. Infiltrate those other countries and find out what's going on! Saturate the field! Second, I want you to start training thousands of new recruits. I want them field-ready in two weeks. Can you do this, or..."

"Oh, I can do it, sir!"

"Good.

"Now, General Lowe, I want you to get some carts and go house to house gathering all the food supplies that the people have. Spare no one; they will receive rations later in the day. Next, force all fishermen to go out in  their boats every day and catch tons of fish; we have an army to feed,"

"Yes,sir! said General Lowe.

"General Rusk, you are in charge of putting together an enlarged new Army. I also want you to plan an attack on Voun, Emon, and Wale; simultaneously."

"Yes, sir!" replied General Rusk.

"I want you to roll into Emon, Voun, and Wale on Monday morning in two weeks time. I want them mowed down and utterly destroyed.

"Report back to me this evening at 9 p.m. You're dismissed!"

When his men had left to accomplish their tasks, Gog sank heavily onto his chair. He put his head in his hands and sat there waiting for inspiration; which came quickly.

This might be the final answer for his aims and goals. Now that they were at war he could rule with absolute power. Rationing and curfews would keep the people in line.

He got up and began pacing the floor. He needed to raise money if he was going to expand his army. Maybe a new tax, but what was left to tax? Ah, yes, the sugar beets. They were dirt cheap now; a little tax wouldn't even be noticed.

He sat down to write a speech that would inform all of the people, at one time, of the new rules and regulations. He would make a radio speech tonight and let the people know that they were at war with Emon, Voun, and Wale, and that there also seems to be some Selves who are consorting with the enemy. Anyone with information on who those Selves are will be given extra rations of food.

That evening at 7 p.m., Gog went on the radio and gave a speech that would soon bring great pain and suffering to his countrymen.

"My dear Countrymen, my heart is moved with sadness at the news I must give you tonight.

"We are at war with Emon, Vooun, and Wale. They have transgressed our borders and attacked our soldiers without provocation.

"There will be changes in your life, but you will grow and be strong from them. Have no fear, we will win this war.

"Starting this evening, there will be an enforced curfew of 10:00 p.m. for those 18 years of age and older, and 8:00 p.m. for those under 18 years of age.

"All foods will be strictly rationed. Today, we begin taking carts neighborhood to neighborhood to collect any food you may have. You will be given a receipt which you will take to Burgess Hall to claim your rations for a week.

"There will be no personal travel outside the borders of Selve. Our borders are closed, and all roads into and out of Selve will be used only by the military.

"Every man between the ages of 16 and 35 will enlist in the Army tomorrow, or within the next three days. No exceptions unless you cannot walk or stand alone.

"All fishermen, with any experience at all, will go out and fish everyday, and will bring the fish to Burgess Hall. You will receive a receipt for the fish that you can trade for rations.

"There will be a new tax on sugar beets of $.10 a pound. This tax will provide money needed for our enlarged army.

"General Rusk will be in command of the Army-under my direction. He will lead us to a sure victory, and then we will have won the entire land of Kor. You will have your choice of four lands to settle. There will be no more hunger or want and we shall be rid of every Wale in Kor.

"Now rest my countrymen, and prepare yourselves for a new fight, a great fight that will lead to sweet victory and total control over Kor. Good evening!"

Gog left the radio station without fielding any questions and went directly to his war room to await his generals. All of the generals arrived in the war room by 8:30 that night.


Tomorrow, the result of Gog's orders among his citizens.

DIVINE LOVE NEVER FAILS

Divine love never fails. Divine love solves every problem. Statements like these appear again and again in metaphysical books, and, of course, they are perfectly true; certain it is that many people firmly believe them, and yet have obviously been unable to prove them in demonstration. Why is this?

The explanation is that, consciously or unconsciously, people think of love as some sort of Power outside of themselves; and they expect that presently, if they beg hard enough, this Power will come down and rescue them. There is, in fact, no such outside power, and therefore you cannot receive help in that way. The only place where Love can exist, as far as you are concerned, is in your own heart. Any love that is not in your heart does not exist for you.

The thing for you to do, then, is to fill your own heart with Love, by thinking it, feeling it, and expressing it; and when this sense of Love is vivid enough it will heal you and solve your problems, and it will enable you to heal others too. That is the Law of Being and none of us can change it.


AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION

The old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," is just as true in the spiritual life as it is in the material world. A great many people wait to make their contract with God until a serious difficulty is upon them and then they hasten to find a spiritual solution. Of course, it is better to seek God under such circumstances than never to find Him at all. But why wait for trouble? Many a difficulty could be prevented or lightened if we were to make our contact with God now.

If you will put your life in God's hands now through daily prayer and meditation and complete willingness to do His will, you will find that your problems will grow less as time goes on, and you will have acquired that serenity and poise that only God can give. Then, come what may, nothing shall disturb you.

~ Emmet Fox ~


Tomorrow we find all of Selve in an uproar as Gog declares war on Voun, Emon, and Wale.
