I have been keeping company with Sadness today.
Sadness was a frequent guest last year. When the new year brought new loss, he set-up camp. I did not invite him, but he does not leave.
Most of the time, I find his company bearable. He is not usually oppressive. Present, but only passively imposing himself. Most days, I hold my focus on Happiness, and Sadness lurks in the shadows. I can almost convince myself he isn’t even there.
Then I turn a corner just a moment too soon, and come face-to-face with my old enemy. A painful confrontation. I am suddenly reminded of all that is lost, and Happiness is unseated.
Happiness is always fleeting.
Ah, but I have learned not to depend on Happiness. She is my fickle friend. Hope is my true and steady friend; always near. I take her hand and face Sadness down.
❤

Happy Birthday, Mommy
Today my Mother would have been 90. I never imagined my Mother dying. I thought she would just live and live, until the Lord returned. He had other plans, and I don’t argue with Him. I see His hand in her life, and in her death. I feel His comfort in my loss, though the…

Let’s Talk about Ravi
If you go to the RZIM.org website, you can read a report on the illicit behavior of Ravi Zacharias. Admittedly, no one wants to read this report. Some may think it’s wrong to read it, or even talk about it. I understand. Trust me: this has been extremely difficult for me. I take no pleasure…

A Time for Disgust
This man, Attorney Michael Van Der Veen, really got my attention yesterday, the last day of President Trump’s second impeachment trial. I watched a few of his post-win interviews, and he was always humble. Low-key. Not gushing over his win, but disgusted by the blatant dishonesty in the hallowed halls of our Capitol. I think…

I Think This Is How We Fix 2020
An Important Message for My Christian Friends When President Trump presented his Deal of the Century, his peace plan for the Middle East, I consulted with the two Bible prophecy teachers I follow. The Israeli said the plan was great, and did not divide Israel. The Arab said it did. As this was January 28th,…

You Play A Part
You may look at some people in your life and wonder what they’re doing there. [They may not matter much to you.] Yet, the truth is you have no idea how important they may be to your future. [Or, how important you might be to theirs.] God is not random. He has a Big Plan,…

The Believer’s Deadline
For some time now, I have been thinking about the absence of the fear of the Lord amongst Believers. I think it’s a core issue that has caused many to compromise, embrace false doctrine, and fall away from right standing with God. I believe we have made God into our own image; someone we can…

A Time For Spiritual Warfare
I was thinking last night about the riots planned for Boston today. This upsets me so much. I love Boston, a city full of art and history, and it makes me sick to think of people vandalizing any if it. I hate what I have seen happening across America, and it makes me afraid to…

The Other Virus
I think this pandemic is the most insidious thing anyone alive today has experienced. Almost 200 countries have been invaded by an unknown and deadly enemy whose only objective seems to be to infect as many people as possible. It propels itself through the airwaves, where it can be inhaled by any unsuspecting passerby. The…
