The Cracked Acorn: Where birds can’t fly!

Genesis 50:21 – Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide …

It was like any other day: ride public transportation, hope to get there in 24 hours. I see all these people and not the same ones every day. That is amazing!.

We are all heading for the biggest piece of cheese in a large city; mine happens to be 50 stories up, not even the birds fly that high unless on oxygen. What I would give for something to see that was not concrete and steel. But I can’t complain it was to be this way, I guess.

Her words: farming is a hard life, get a good education and I did as mother wished. It surely would be nice to have a small house somewhere and some green grass and a small putt-putt to cut it. I would not complain if there was someone interested in green grass and me! That seems so far away, if I get to the office (actually a small cube) I am going to pray to HIM above to remember me and give me a small wish or two.

At that wishful point in Jake Coles’ life, brakes churned and screed and gave the metro train a sudden stop and doors popped open to the outside world. Time to rush across the plaza ad into the nearest elevator and up and up and up. When the Otis counted off his floor and stopped, the iphone in his pocket vibrated, Jake saw that it was a Fred msg “Call me!”

It was war time, hit the front lines to make some money. It was his cube…oh my! It’s my drab place of existence, not even a picture of a dog or (well don’t go into that!) He hit quick dial for Fred out there somewhere. Almost immediately Fred answered,”Boss, we have a problem, delivery has gotten slower and slower — we need lots of pipe if we’re going to keep within our time limit of this contract. Lola has a suggestion,,,Want to hear it?”

IF YOU HAVE YOUR TABLET …SEND IT TO ME NOW…TELL LOLA TO KEEP SUGGESTING, BYE!

Within few seconds Lola’s suggestion appeared on the computer screen.

IF NUTS&BOLTS IS GOING TO KEEP IN THE GAME; DELIVERIES OF PIPE MUST BE DELIVERED DAILY AND OVERNIGHT…I HAVE SURFED AND FOUND A COMPANY THAT HAS 18-WHEELERS PULLING TRAILORS THAT HAUL MORE, PROMISE THAT. THEN THESE SMALL TOWNS WITH AGING WATER LINES WILL CALL NUTS& BOLTS. REMEMBER ME IN YOUR KINGDOM, YOUR LOYAL SERVANT?

Jake fired back to Fred,,,”Sic Lola on to one of those trucking companies she found and we wait…whatever Lola wants Lola gets! Also, I looked at another of her suggestions about a tool from Sweden that would last longer for cutting new pipe , purchase what we need.. don’t worry about money, if we close on time, money will come to us.” From the Ivory Tower.

That was easy! Now, I can lean back, lace my hands behind my head; this is the moment when I get my best ideas. Maybe, it could be “a leap forward” for NUTS&BOLTS and start a 2nd party of people on other contracts…that could be Lola!

(and then it happened, Jake’s sound asleep…we leave him here, QUIET!, until next week.)
