GODWINKS POINT TO A GRAND PLAN Have YOU ever argued with God about something you wanted, then discovered that HE had a much better idea? My wonderful wife Louise DuArt is often called one of the world’s best comedic impressionists. She can look and sound like 100 characters … from Joan Rivers to Judge Judy to Kate Hepburn. You can imagine the thrill she experienced the day a casting agent called to say: “Steven Spielberg is doing a cartoon series. He has a rabbit character that does impressions … a role designed for you! YAHOOOO. Louise danced around the kitchen table! What A PERFECT ROLE. But WAIT...! (OPTION to WATCH this story: hulu/watch/373347#i3,p0,d2) In the studio Louise stepped to the microphone. Put on the headphones and started to do the first character … augggk. She’d lost her voice. This had never happened before! She tried again. And again! The casting agent was sympathetic. “Don’t worry…we’ve got a week. Come back in a couple days.” Louise went straight to the pharmacy. She bought everything she could to get her voice back. Everyday the AGENT CALLED and Louise, tearfully reported…”no…her voice had not returned.” At the end of the week the agent sadly said, “I’m so sorry…WE HAVE TO MOVE ON.” Louise was crushed. She QUESTIONED GOD. “Why would you give me a perfect part, THEN TAKE IT AWAY?” A few weeks later, her voice returned, and she was asked to go to New York to promote an upcoming Showtime special. While there she TOOK IN A BROADWAY SHOW about four comics … three guys and a girl, who crafted their skills at the legendary Catskill resorts. After the show she went to Sardi’s restaurant … the Broadway thing to do … and was surprised when the waiter said, “The gentlemen behind you would like to say hello.” She looked up. There were the three male comics from the show! Freddy Roman came over and said, “Louise you won’t believe this … I was just saying to the guys, ‘if our girl every leaves the show, I know the perfect replacement … Louise something-or-other … I once did a TV show with her’… I look up and THERE YOU ARE!” GULP! Would you say that was a monumental godwink?? Three weeks later, LOUISE DUART WAS UP IN BROADWAY LIGHTS … starring in “Catskills on Broadway.” If she’d gotten the part for Spielberg’s rabbit … she wouldn’t have been available to fulfill THAT dream ... and prayer ... in her life! •••• Godwinks are often God’s way of showing YOU that the grand plan that HE has DESIGNED FOR YOU, from above … is far better than the one you’ve created for yourself, down here.
