Orlan E. Thomas

God Had a Plan begins with a genealogy patterned much like the ones found in the Bible, with some early family history interspersed as was available. Once the genealogy is established, the author offers an examination of the seed, referring to the look see into the lives of those who produced the offspring in review. The life and times of the author and his beloved wife Marcella are explored from cradle to adulthood, journeying through his teaching positions and her position as soprano soloist with the Back to the Bible broadcast in Lincoln, Nebraska. Their union of husband and wife was unquestionably a divine appointment, as God truly had a plan. Indeed, education played a big part of Gods plan in each of their lives, though the road to the doctorate at the Eastman School of Music turned out to be a long, arduous trip involving many perils. Gods plan saw the writer through that rigorous quest with scriptural promises that, when claimed, brought deliverance. More than just a simple chronology of dates and facts, this touching autobiography about the authors faith offers guidance and hope to all his readers.
