The Magazine That Returned.

I really appreciate In Touch Ministries with Dr. Charles Stanley. I have learned much from him. I am also really loving the format of the new In Touch magazines. They are very "clean" in appearance and have been encouraging. I went to Kentucky with my parents a while back, and my Mom took the latest In Touch with her. This happened to be the first one we received in the new format.

When we came back from Kentucky, neither she nor I could find that magazine! It had vanished without a trace, and we both were very disappointed. I ended up emailing In Touch, explaining that we had lost our copy and that I would so appreciate it if they could send us another one. And someone from the office emailed me back saying that they would send it. Yay! 

A few days later, an envelope from In Touch came in the mail. Mom said, "Is this yours?" 

And I replied, "Yes, it's the new copy of In Touch!" 

Then she said, "Oh, it's empty! The magazine must have fallen out of the envelope!" 

And I sighed and was like, "For some reason, God does not want us to have this magazine!!" 

This all happened about a week or two ago. 

Last night, I was sitting in our library, working on some homework for my online class, when I happen to look over at my Dad's book and magazine stash. Now realize, this "stash" consists of a brown woven basket, a few folders of Bible study materials from past studies my Dad participated in, books and magazines (as I said before), and a little guitar that sits on top of this stuff. So I look over at this stash, and I see just the top portion of the cover of the magazine, hiding behind some books. 

You can imagine my excitement! :) 

I couldn't just not tease my Dad about this. This morning, I explained this whole story to him; and suffice it to say, he was very quiet. :) 

The end. Happy Friday!
