is this for you?
Jack Nicolson put it brilliantly in the road-trip scene from the 1999 movie As Good As It Gets:
Not everyone has a terrible story to get over. Some people have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that's their story. Good times, noodle salad.
If you're riding with me, know that I speak from personal experience. If you can relate, scroll down. More than anything I want you to know, YOU matter to God. IT--whatever it is, matters to God. But no one can make that discovery for you. I count it a blessing to encourage you along the way.

Fear Not When Heat Comes
My husband and I marvel over how far we've come by the unfailing love of God. Years ago we were both a couple of hot-heads. Plaster of Paris was a staple in our home (the white powder you mix with water to produce the plaster necessary to patch holes in walls).
I laughed earlier today when Michael described the gun he wants to buy me for Christmas. "You want to buy me a gun? I bet ten years ago you wouldn't have made an offer like that! If I had owned a gun back then, I most likely would have shot you with it, but I would have been REALLY sorry about it the next day." He smiled and said, "Ten years ago, there's no way I would have bought you a gun."
Look what God can do! Here we are, a couple of redeemed hot-heads, who now trust each other enough to have a hobby like this. If you are anti-gun, I do apologize. Truth is, I never wanted anything to do with them, but my husband and son enjoy going to the shooting range. So since I can't beat them, I'm joining them.
No jewelry under the Christmas tree for me this year. I'll be "packing" or rather unpacking a chocolate brown and raspberry Walther PK 380. I first saw the color in a Ruger LCP add.
"Arms Makers For Responsible Citizens"
Responsible Citizens . . . that is the power of a miracle working God.
Isaiah 17:7-8 and a half:
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes . . ." Get it? Heat.
There's a Scripture for everything!
