No pitchforks here, PD - not only do we make plans, we also drive ourselves into ditches - or make decisions 10 years ago that impact where we are right now - our actions create reactions, etc.

To me, the purpose of a group that reflects on requests/petitions made to God is to, well, reflect - together. To hold each other accountable for where we are and to support/love each other, too -

Acceptance can replace much and heavy dismay - and then the question: do we have the courage to change when the plan (our plan) doesn't take us where we want to go or, when we get there, we're not happy?
