Certainly.
Though, I suspect The Lord could lead you in creative ways to bring HIM into the operation there more directly, intensely and at least more creatively.
Wasn't it Bro Lawrence who taught that all we do can be worship?
Is your rule of thumb,
when confronted by a narrative true personal experience that's too uncomfortable
you just can't resist the knee jerk rock throwing?
Sorry Quix,
I'm just being a smart-ass,
my bad.
Thank you.
It's been difficult carrying this cross, I've learned alot more about myself. Especially how much I need God's Grace to make it through.
And just now the police station called wanting to know if I want to come in and work night shift.
Had to turn them down.
Not a huge thing. Just that Eternal Life/Salvation is SOMETIMES not a joking matter.
and, as usual, I'm a bit punchy toward chronic naysayers and tend to lump anyone sounding like them in with them.
That's my bad.
Understand.
Learning how to roll our considerable burdens over onto Jesus is still something I'm learning to do.
Kind of like learning to rest WHILE running the race to win.
Don't apologise, you're being sincere.
Keep up the good work.
(punchy? not a bad thing.........)
YOUR GRACOUS KIND WORDS are cold water in a hot dry land.
Thanks much.
I am what I am! Though God mercifully isn't leaving me as is! LOL.

Well! Let's hope not!
Prayers for you. I know that feeling. I debated for years about putting my business up for sale, and when I did it sold in four days.
God's timing!
God is moving, and we're seeing through the glass darkly, but still the light trickles through. Some refuse to look, for some, it doesn't matter (not a putdown on their walk with God - for some their faith is there, no matter what, and for others, God could come into their room, take them by the hand, and they still wouldn't believe), but for others, it is the sign to look up and and know.
Yes! Let's hope not, for sure!
Very excellent summary analysis, imho.
Thanks.
It is interesting that the chronic naysayers have not attacked his personal story.
And they didn't have THAT much to say about Beth's personal experience, too.
I'd like to think that they realize that they are out of their league in that sort of GOD THING. But that would probably be tooooo much to hope for! LOL.
Thanks.
Thanks will read my friend!
I think you'll find it quite edifying, Dear Heart.
LUB,

Here's an interesting fault line map from that website:
We curse and bind and command to be silent all lying spirits that would deceive him; deter him; confuse him; hinder his acceptance of you as his Savior.
Please bring him continually and repeatedly to a place of decision; an opportunity; a conscious opportunity of a decision for you. Cause him to lose sleep; be confronted repeatedly with others in his life who Love and Know you; inexplicable experiences who's only source can be you until he confesses, repents and chooses you whole heartedly.
May he have dreams and waking visions; angelic visitations--whatever it takes to bring him to a place of a Salvation relationship with You, Oh, Lord.
Humble him before You, Oh Lord in a loving but firm way that boxes him in toward realizing his need of You, in Jesus' Name.
I so admire the specificity and effectiveness, the fervency and fortitude of this prayer. I am going to print it out so that I can use it often. Thank you so much.
Am humbled and blessed by your kind words. PTL.
May God be glorified in all we do these challenging days.
what ever happened to Howard Storm, where is he now?
