Attempting to Make a Comeback

After a recent major setback  (hospitalized for pneumonia) and an encouraging word from old friend, and fellow writer,  Bob Reusch, I m persuaded by our Lord to get serious about writing again.

I almost have a post ready about how God has been at work through my recovery ordeal from last summers heart surgery. in the interim, however, I want you to re-visit a post from the past.

A few weeks ago we had opportunity to attend a Blackwood concert (only one Blackwood left in the group, a grandson of one of the original Blackwood Brothers). Bro. Blackwood talked about his love for the "old songs".  This kind of sentiment usually strikes a negative chord with me, as many of you well know, not because I don't like the songs, but because I feel that it causes many believers to dwell on the past rather than allowing our Lord to lead them into the future that He would have for them.

This time, however, I found my heart touched, and deeply moved by remembering what He had done for me in my past, and how He has worked through the lives of  some of those who have gone before me in my life, and how, even to this day, the memories of three special people continues to help me along in my walk with Jesus.

I refer you to my post of June, 2012, "Remembering Those Who Have Gone Before." Please go to the column on the left side of this page that has the list of previous posts. scroll down to June 2012, click on it, and read the post by the aforementioned title. I hope that you like it as much as I do, and I hope that it brings to mind for you someone who has made a difference in your spiritual journey. Moreover, I hope that it inspires you to be a difference-maker in the life of someone close to you.

Thanks for sharing this moment with me today.

Pray for the peace of Israel.
