This is off topic, but it's something that I wanted to share with you and your readers. Most people today would use the jungian term 'synchronicity' to describe it, but we could call it a small sign of the presence of God. I had never seen the old 1955 movie East of Eden with James Dean, so recorded it when it ran on TCM a few days ago. I started to watch part of it before going to work a few days ago. The part I saw was where the father was reading a portion of a psalm to his troubled son (James Dean) and then forced him to read more of it. I try to read the Morning Office if I have time before work, it was getting late, so I turned off the movie and TV and got out Daily Office book. The prescribed psalm for that morning was Psalm 32. As I began to read it I froze almost in mid-sentence as I realized it was the precise psalm that was being read in the film I was watching no less than 10 minutes prior to that. The wording was a bit different as they were using the King James version. I thought to myself, Oh my God (literally), this is so cool! :)
