I answered a question, I received in my inbox awhile ago in this post. I neglected to answer the “What things hurt you?” part because I wasn’t sure how to go about it. I could list here a myriad of things people have done to me that hurt. I have blogged about a few of [...]
What has God been up to in your life this week? Leave a comment here if you don’t have a blog. Or simply link to any post from the last month. Let us know how God has been working. Feel free to snag the graphic.
Do you remember the scene in It’s A Wonderful Life where George has disappeared after falling apart? The kids say, “Mommy should we pray for Daddy?” Mary says, “Yes, honey, pray. Pray very hard.” When Lee got back to the facility today, he had the decision from the regional supervisor. It simply said, “I agree [...]
Lee’s job has been going well. There was a little snafu on Monday because they didn’t expect him to come in, but it was really their problem. He had some things to do for them and then he started in earnest on Wednesday. They offered him overtime this weekend, so that’s good. You can pray [...]
Last week, we had VBS at church. One of the nights I played hooky to have a date with Lee. I had to stop at the grocery store on the way to pick up James. The floral department had a summer bouquet for $3.99. I rarely (!!) buy flowers. I love them, but low budget [...]
Often I look at other people’s trials and thank the Lord that I don’t have to go through that! *enduring illness *a disabled child *death of loved ones *abusive spouses I said to my pastor’s wife once, “I guess people look at me and don’t want to go through a trial like mine.” She looked [...]
James has had a fear and distrust of police since the day they took his Daddy saying, “He’ll be right back.” I really wish they hadn’t lied to him. I have never encouraged this fear and Lee is adamant that James must learn to respect and obey authority but still it persists. This afternoon, I [...]
I’ve put off writing this post for almost as long as I’ve had this blog. It’s a sensitive topic, not easily dealt with, and one that I think most Christians don’t like to think about. Throughout this trial, I’ve come to realize that we are very much in a spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:12 For we [...]
Lee started his new job. At least I think he did. They were supposed to mail him a proposal which never arrived. Apparently the human resources manager was on vacation all week. They told him to come in at 6 this morning and he said he’d call me if he didn’t really have a job. [...]
Have you seen this video? It gives me chills everytime I see it. Several friends and readers have sent it to me. Everytime I watch it, I realize again that the 9 minutes it takes are so worth it. Pastor used it today because he was teaching out of Colossians 1 today and this speaker [...]
