Wanna read something good?
...well, read on....
First a confession... I've been avoiding bill collectors. Not because I don't want to pay my bills, but because I've been out of work since August. Finally got back to work last week. One bill collector has been persistent. Calling everyday. (Thank the Lord for "caller ID"). Another call today when I came in. Thats it. Time to face the music and beg for a little more time. So... I called back. She answered. Oh no... here it goes. "Oh, I'm glad you called... I want to discusss the $8000 you owe the neurosurgeon. Our records show that you have paid $300 but haven't made a payment since January. Well, I have been authorized to tell you that you do NOT need to send any more payments. You bill has been RETIRED in FULL." Not quite comprehending what a RETIRED BILL was (other than my Uncle Bill) I asked that she explain what that meant... She said that, in effect, the bill is PAID in FULL.
Do we serve an awesome God or what?
