How can one today have peace without having G-d in their life but this goes to say, it is not easy sometimes being a Christian.

The passing of Paul Crouch of TBN has been quite sad for me. I really loved this man and he was dedicated to saving souls more than anyone I’ve ever known. If we all lived accordingly, wouldn’t our world be a better place for all!

Boy, you are on the other side of the world very far from Texas where we live.

Thanks for the post!

You must live differently. You must make room for Him.”

Anita, a clear and powerful statement. Wonderful and inspiring post. Thank you!

Blessings!

Jim

Simplification is a good thing, and perhaps you will look back at this period later and count it a blessing, Mollie!

This post points out the total commitment Jesus asks of us. I think of the Chris Rice song, Come on Becky, about laying our blessings aside to go for that wild ride that may cost us our lives, but then he remembers Jesus died. I feel that more and more, as simplification of my life is sometimes forced on me, but I look and wouldn’t have it any other way. Especially at Christmas, where we do not focus on the gifts. Yeah, we are different and I am content.

Yes, indeed. Happy New Year, Kathy!

I’m very excited about this new year and filled with the challenge to let my days be more deliberate, listening to the beat of a different drum. May the Lord continue to work in His children that they would be filled with His Spirit and discern in His Word the way to walk in wisdom.
