Coincidence

 Coincidence is God at work anonymously.  I was sitting at lunch with a priest.  I said I will be living more consistently in San Francisco after the new year.  He asked if I might help in his parish.  It is about as far away from where I live in San Francisco and still be in the city.  Six plus miles in a city like this is a long way away in time of travel.  So I went home and decided to get on a trolley and see how long it took for me to get there.  Something in me said my sitting with him at table and his asking me, was not a simple coincidence.  So I took the trolley to his church.  I knocked on the office door.  The woman who opened it said, when I introduced myself, she had just gotten off the phone calling me to do some masses.  I am meant to be at that parish for reasons that will become apparent down the road.  God has a plan.  I stumble into it now and again.  Stumble along into yours.
