crazy times and a new logo

This is a logo that Jesse Fisher did for us.

I like it.

Thanks Jesse.

It has been crazy times, but I do feel some stirring…  Stirring to get closer to the Lord, and by that to be closer to everything important, everything central.

I have had a host of experiences over the last month or so.  Major changes in the business.  Major changes in life, though some of these changes will be more clear as a little time passes.  Major change can rarely be understood while you are in it.

Jesus is serious about His commitment to our lives, and He will be present and active if that is our desire.  Often the events that accompany His arrival on the scene cause us to rescind the invitation.  Lord, help us to stay in place when the shaking starts, help us not to run, not to attempt (in futility) to hide ourselves.  All things are present and unhidden before You.

What is life like without God?

What is life like without God?

This is a question I posed recently.  It has been on my mind since a recent trip to the town where I grew up.  I appreciate the feedback I got back from quite a few perspectives.  It's hard, but important I think, to have a mind open to someone else's point of view.  I need the perspective, really.  No one sees things the way they are, not completely.  That takes a lot of points of view, to see things from all sides.  Thanks those who responded and helped me expand my view.

I want to encourage you, and me, to take some time to deeply consider this question.

As I glanced around the internet for an image that would help me communicate this question, I got what they call in Texas an “eye full!”  There were a good number of points of view that I encountered there that went well beyond the direct feedback I received, and some strange ones at that.

Time of Tribulation

by Corrie Ten Boom

The world is deathly ill. It is dying. The Great Physician has already signed the death certificate. Yet there is still a great work for Christians to do. They are to be streams of living water, channels of mercy to those who are still in the world. It is possible for them to do this because they are overcomers.

Christians are ambassadors for Christ. They are representatives from Heaven to this dying world. And because of our presence here, things will change.

My sister, Betsy, and I were in the Nazi concentration camp at Ravensbruck because we committed the crime of loving Jews. Seven hundred of us from Holland, France, Russia, Poland and Belgium were herded into a room built for two hundred. As far as I knew, Betsy and I were the only two representatives of Heaven in that room. Continue reading “Time of Tribulation”
