The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Have fun with today’s cryptogram and have a MARVELOUS MONDAY.
Finally!

Isn’t MARVELOUS MONDAY an oxymoron?
Today’s author’s name is a giveaway.
Lonesome, you asked, “Isn’t Marvelous Monday an oxymoron”
Well perhaps you could legitimately look at it that way. But My favorite Bible verse is, “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24.
So I tend to try to find joy in every day, no matter what. I do admit that many times doing so can be very difficult, but I have finally learned and embraced something the scriptures teach. Psalm 16:11 says “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” and in John 15:11 Jesus says, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
Jesus didn’t promise us that our lives here on earth would be easy or trouble-free, but He did tell us how we can find joy by looking only to God for our satisfaction (meaning our hunger and thirst for everything this world can’t give us.) John Piper, one of my favorite Christian authors said, “Our joy in God is only full when we know we have arrived at the end of our quest for satisfaction.” I wrote that down and tacked it up where I would see it everyday. That is when I began to look each day, no matter what, even on Mondays, for JOY IN THE LORD.
My wife’s grandfather was an EUB minister, and that was her uncle’s favorite, as well. Thanks for reminding me. I really was not in the mood to answer the bell this morning, however.
Words 11 & 12 look like they should give it away. But I’m stuck.
