looks like i'm already reaping the rewards

After this morning's liturgy for the Archangel Michael and his posse, I come to work to find out that I'm getting a new better job in the new year. I'm already enjoying the benisons of my study, it seems. Well, I can't count my chickens before they're hatched, we haven't yet discussed remuneration. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Of course, I'd say the same if I got canned today, though I might say I deserved it, too.

i shall not die but live

As I said before the test, and it was true. By the grace of God, I have managed to survive my exam and probably have a decent shot of passing. Further, God has not yet seen fit to destroy me for my wickedness. "By the grace of God I am a Christian, by my deeds a great sinner..." So starts the book, anyway, and I think about it from time to time. Someday, I may be delivered from this body of death.
