Lord Vetinari turned away, took some papers from a desk drawer, walked to a wall, touched a certain area and stepped quickly through the hidden door that noiselessly swung open.
Beyond was a corridor, lit by borrowed light from high windows and paved with small flagstones. He walked forward, said "...no, this is Tuesday..." and moved his descending foot so that it landed on a stone that in every respect appeared to be exactly the same as its fellows.
Anyone overhearing his progress along the passages and stairs may have caught muttered phrases on the lines of "...the moon is...waning..." and "yes, it is before noon." A really keen listener would have heard the faint whirring and ticking inside the walls.
A really keen and paranoid listener would have reflected that anything the Lord Vetinari said aloud even when he was alone might not be totally worth believing. Not, certainly, if your life depended on it.

Plea for Help in Evil Times
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 Save, O Jehovah; for the faithful man is no more, / For the trustworthy have vanished from among the sons of men.
2 Each man speaks falsehood with his neighbor; / With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May Jehovah cut off all the flattering lips, / The tongue speaking great things,
4 Those who said, With our tongue we will prevail; / Our lips are our own: Who is our lord?
5 Because of the devastation of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, / I will now arise, says Jehovah; / I will set him in the safety that he longs for.
6 The words of Jehovah are pure words, / Silver refined in a furnace on the earth, / Purified seven times.
7 You, O Jehovah, will keep them; / You will guard them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked go about all around, / While vileness is exalted among the sons of men. — Psalm 12 | Recovery Version (REC) The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible © 2016 Living Stream Ministry.

"Havelock, I appreciate that Drumknott is very competent, but he always seems to me to be a rather strange little man."
"Well, it would be a funny old world if we were all alike, madam, although I admit not very funny if we were all like Drumknott. But he is loyal and excessively trustworthy," said Vetinari.
"Hmm," said her ladyship. "Does he have much of a personal life?"
"I believe that he collects different types of stationary," said Vetinari. "I have sometimes speculated that he might change his life for the better should he meet a young lady willing to dress up as a manila envelope."

Entirely Different Breed
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38KJV
Have you seen the viral videos of people giving money to the homeless and other people? Their filming crew randomly selects people to give money to. A homeless man wins $1000 from a lottery ticket given to him. His first reaction was trying to share with others, then weeping. The deserving waitress gave of herself to customers. Same film crew orchestrated a $1000 tip, trip to Hawaii, and a new car. Her joy was boundless. South African videos are mimicking this but giving food, shelter, and medical care.
Jesus told us: “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you…” Matthew 7:12NLT When I was around thirteen years old, Mom and Dad were trying to buy Grandma’s house. Grandma’s will left each child an equal part of the house. Trouble was: Dad had been crippled in an accident and had no income. Mom’s ability to earn was very limited because of his 24 hour care. Two aunts and one uncle kicked back their inheritance to my parents. They all prospered because of their gifts.
William Buffet has been quoted as saying, ‘the more money I give into others needs, the greater my income increases. Former entrepreneur, Mary Crowley wore a necklace with two shovels on it. One was tiny, pinky fingernail sized. The other was about an inch. She’d tell people, ‘The small shovel represents what I give into others’ needs. God’s shovels back what I give with His bigger shovel.’
Kenneth Copeland tells of a great need he had before becoming a big preacher. He found someone with a need and gave to help them in their need. In return, God sent someone along to provide for his need with a little extra besides.
Once, I gave a prayer request for someone unemployed, unemployment income run out, dead broke and needing help to save their vehicle. A total stranger came to me a few minutes later and handed me a large denomination bill sowing into the needs of the other person. I saw the little shovel in action. Later, I heard about the big shovel event in the life of a once stranger’s life.
Everywhere people are barely surviving. Houses foreclosed. Vehicles repossessed. Inflation has gone wild. God is looking for shovelers.
“…Whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?” 1John 3:17NASB God takes seriously how His people use what He gives them. Much of the Old Testament regarded Israel’s failure to care for their poor, widows and orphans.
James instructs: “Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves…a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:22,25KJV. If we hear the Lord's word to be a giver and don’t give, we’re deceiving ourselves.
“Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.” Proverbs 28:8NIV For years I’ve heard about a transfer of wealth coming from the ungodly to the qualified people of God. Who’s qualified? Those who will funnel this transfer of wealth to where needs are. It won’t be the wealthy. It will be the givers. They’re an entirely different breed of Christians, ones God can trust. What are you? It’s your choice. You choose.
PRAYER: Father help us to become trustworthy givers that shovels wherever they’re told, in the name of Jesus Christ’s I pray.

Ordo Salutis: Sanctification
23 Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is trustworthy, and he will in fact do this. — 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 | New English Translation (NET Bible) NET Bible copyright © 1996-2006 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C.
