To all praying Christians out there.
I maintained my Christian witness today even though it was worse than a punch in the face.
After eight years of faithful service I was suddenly terminated from my job for poor job performance. Last year after decreasing my hours and adding to my work load they gave me a thirty day warning to improve my performance, or else.
When that time was complete I requested a formal review. When none came I had to assume everything was OK. Then with no warning out of the blue they fired me.
Nevertheless my boss said I could use them as a reference.
When God closes one door he opens another.

Insurgency!
One tells another, who tells a friend, who tells a family member, and so on and so on.
And now it's time to take it to the next level in our church. We've
all written down the names of all the people we've witnessed to.
They're our friends, our family members and coworkers and students.
Everyone taking the names with them to a special all church prayer
meeting tonight. That's both the main fellowship and our satellite
church as well.
It's like we're turning a corner as a church. The usual cliches like
"revival" somehow don't seem to fit. Who knows what's going to happen,
but going to be great!
Bit by bit, person to person lives are going to be changed.
It's an insurgency!

Overcoming Besetting Setbacks
Image via Wikipedia
Sinus infection headaches are so the pits. It's not just the debilitating pain and feeling like my head is stuffed with cotton. It's the way the medication drags down my emotions.
The best thing anyone can do in that condition is not to take any of their thoughts seriously. Because everything is just going to be a sucked down the drain of depressed emotions. And if your emotions are already down from a disappointment, depressing medications are just going to make it even worse.
Take it from me, from the book of "been there, done that" it's a chain reaction you don't want any part of. Just let depressing thoughts fly in one ear and right out the other.
Because depression is the pits!
