Great month, Lisa. All of your posts are rock solid, (even when I get my nose rubbed in the books that I can’t read as fast as you!) the one that really spoke to me and still is was the post, When Pain Gets Too Noisy. This is a subject not covered much by the modern church. It’s a difficult one, but needs to be discussed.
Thanks for being such an encouragement, Floyd. I really do appreciate your words.
The pain post did seem to hit a nerve (no pun intended, well, maybe a little) with several of us, so perhaps it is a subject we do need to discuss more often….
As someone said ‘ great month’ but what a good idea.
I really consolidate these into one post just for my own benefit. I like to see at a glance where God has been at work around me.
