June 3
One year for my birthday Joy gave me, among other things, a key chain with a medal fish sign, the symbol adopted by the early followers of Jesus. A few days later I notice the fish sign is missing from the key chain. I take this as a bad omen.
Our car is showing its age of 11 years and 175,000 miles. We drove 3,500 miles that summer on faith and prayers. The engine is noisy and it is leaking oil. I take it to a repair shop. The mechanic comes to me in the waiting room (usually not good news). He holds out his hand and smiles. “I found this on top of the block.”
It is the fish sign.
“You called in trouble, and I delivered you.” (Psalms 81:7)
