Glad I could pep you up a bit. I looks like several others out there care about you, too. Keep doing what you do. There is good in every day. Our challenge it to find it or make it so.

I don't want to stick my head in the sand but I'm tired of hearing about the evil spreading across this country. I'm sure part of Satan's plan is to make us Christians weary.<br /><br />So my plan is to study God's word harder, pray more fervently and take joy in the beauty around me today. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."<br /><br />JM<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-4108207639447082022013-03-14T12:04:05.332-05:002013-03-14T12:04:05.332-05:00The Scripture you cited is very comforting.

I know all this.... my heart and my mind know it and I am disappointed in myself when I doubt, because it is my deepest desire to stand strong in my faith through all circumstances. I cannot imagine trading my life for anything different and know that the Lord brought me to this place for Him and for my wellbeing. Thank you for your encouragement and your testimony. May it strengthen us all!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-83883493431722216762013-03-14T11:42:19.790-05:002013-03-14T11:42:19.790-05:00I would like to thank you for your blog.

My wife and I decided that she should stay home and raise our children instead of working. It was a sometimes difficult, but rewarding experience that I can say was for the best. That said, I had those same doubts. Could we have a nicer home, cars, or vacations or fewer monetary worries? Now, almost on a daily bases, one of my sons will point out something which is second nature to him that his peers are not capable of. The sacrifice was worth it for many reasons.<br />I consistently read and find your blog well written and relevant. I am happy to learn that I am not alone in my views and concerns for our country. I hope you continue to listen to His voice and ignore or refute the others....<br />Jer 29:11-12 <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-58674360839826814062013-03-14T11:24:23.344-05:002013-03-14T11:24:23.344-05:00You don't know how seeing your comment brighte...You don't know how seeing your comment brightened my day! I hadn't heard from you for awhile and thought maybe I had offended you, as I am sure I have others. But your little pep talk did my soul good and I will remember it in the days to come. Thanks for taking the time to add your thoughts and for the prayers. They are MUCH appreciated and reciprocate!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-59057758090794754662013-03-14T11:22:01.200-05:002013-03-14T11:22:01.200-05:00As I read Psalm 73, I couldn't hold back the t...As I read Psalm 73, I couldn't hold back the tears. You have given me a great gift, my friend, and I will turn to this Scripture often. Thank you for your word that encourage even in these dark times.

Your daily thoughts and opinions are a bright spot in my day. I look forward to reading your posts, am encouraged by your ideas, and my faith is strengthened by yours. Keep doing doing it please. I am sure there are many others who feel the same way.<br /><br />Life is always a struggle of right v. wrong, convictions v. expediency, Good v. Evil. It is the challenge God gives us and our opportunity to make this world better by living here. I am thankful for every breath I draw, every day I wake, and every chance I have to share life with others. I always say a small prayer of thanks after I read your blog. I will offer some more for your (and PLW's) happiness and serenity when the daily grind wears heavily.<br /><br />May God bless you and yours,<br />GEJGreen Eyed Jinnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-86180023421576460572013-03-14T10:56:24.916-05:002013-03-14T10:56:24.916-05:00I have noticed this year how relevant your writing...I have noticed this year how relevant your writing, also SHFTPLAN, and alt-Market is to demonstrate how Scripture is being fulfilled before our eyes in the events of this world. It is indeed sometimes spirit crushing. I am remind of how Habakuk went before the Lord and said “What are You doing, how could you use events like this on your people”? After coming before God and thinking upon his situation Habakuk ends up saying in chapter 3 <br />2 I have heard all about you, LORD.<br />I am filled with awe by your amazing works.<br />In this time of our deep need,<br />help us again as you did in years gone by.<br />And in your anger,<br />remember your mercy.<br /><br />I read the above blogs and my heart grows fearful. I want things to be as they used to be. But fact be known they were not much better. Evil men motivated by Satan have always been working toward our demise. They are just too close to their objective now for our comfort. I must look beyond what I see. I must again do as Habukkuk as I look at the evilness of our time and realize that God is in control. That takes me to Psalm 73. <br />21 Then I realized that my heart was bitter,<br />and I was all torn up inside.<br />22 I was so foolish and ignorant—<br />I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.<br />23 Yet I still belong to you;<br />you hold my right hand.<br />24 You guide me with your counsel,<br />leading me to a glorious destiny.<br />25 Whom have I in heaven but you?<br />I desire you more than anything on earth.<br />26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,<br />but God remains the strength of my heart;<br />he is mine forever.<br /><br />May that be our state as we face these evil times. May I recommend a book by Thomas Brooks, “Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices”. It gives many devices Satan uses to deceive us and cause us to turn away.<br /><br />Thank you for your blog.
