G-d works in mysterious ways

In Judaism we have a saying "This to is for the best" and that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it just takes time to figure out why things turn out teh way they do. Sometimes we even have to die first before understaning. Lucky for us, noone had to die to figiure out we didnt get those tickets to teh concert tonight.

There was a fire at the hall and everyone is badly burned


OK, I made that up, as far as I know there was no fire, and everyone is probably OK. One of Nat's best friends from her youth called us up this afternoon and asked if she if she could bring her family to Detoit for shabbos. So she is coming with her husband and three little kids.

Had we gotten tickets, it would have been impossible for us to put Shabbos together, it would have been totally stressful, and might not have been so much fun.

I don't know how this works out for my little sister, perhaps her school wouldn't have been thrilled with her going, and tey would have punished her, but we'll never know that.

I did get Nat the Matisyahu CD as a Chanukah gift, so that she could listen to him whenever she wants.
