Divine intervention at work

My friend Bill Hatfield met me for lunch at Bogart’s the other day.
We were talking about my goals for "Your Life's Great Purpose".
In walked two friends from a special place, Glenforest School.
Glenforest students are bright but can’t make it in public school.
Their brains are wired differently. They learn differently.
Dr. Gillian Barclay-Smith is the head lady there.
Barton Calvert is her right-hand man.
They joined us and the conversation about my new book.
Gillian grew excited and wanted a copy. I gave them both a copy.
We talked about introducing the book to their students.
Was that simply a chance encounter? I don't believe so.
Why did Bill and I decide to go to Bogart’s that day?
Why did Gillian and Barton make the same decision?
You might call it luck. I call it Divine intervention.
Often in life, a higher power steps in and makes things happen.
My goals, as you probably already know, are two:
1. Help young people find their direction and purpose in life.
We’re all here for a purpose. We just have to find what it is.
2. Make a dent in illiteracy and help kids with learning disabilities.
42 million Americans can’t read. 2 million more join them each year.
This is a national disgrace. We’re going to do something about it.
We’re going to sell 20 million books to raise $200 million.
That will help millions whose lives will be enriched by reading.
Want to help? Drop me a note at Jerry@JerryBellune.com.
Tomorrow we’ll talk about what you can get out of this book.
