Reflections of a Struggling Saint

On Friday after work, I had my physical. To be honest, I wasn't quite looking forward to it, but I wasn't worried about it either. It is just one of those things that has to be done. Blood work came back. My thyroid (which was healed from being overactive in 2001) is still normal. My blood...

I know, most of what I've written has been in relation to Michelle's health issues. Very little is really ever mentioned about my own issues. As much as I'd love to ignorantly go through and ignore my own issues, I know, for Michelle's benefit, I need to see a doctor myself. Since I recently...

Take a step forward. Wind up having several steps back. At least that is the way it seems at times, especially when it comes to Michelle's health issues. This has been another week of ups and downs for her, in regards to her health. One moment she is doing well (or relatively speaking), the...

James 1:2-4 (NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. My previous blog entires were...

Romans 8:28 (NLT) And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. God is faithful. He proves it over and over again. Sometimes we are too blinded by our own struggles to see God moving. I've had my...

Note: I thought I'd start my new blog by copying over three of my older blog entries. My testimony and short bio of sorts. Originally Posted: April 20, 2007 Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a...

Christian Forums has gone through a major overhaul. Many people are complaining, which I knew was going to happen. Some have even left over the changes. Still more changes are on the way. So, for all intents and purposes, a new day has dawned here on Christian Forums. This entry, though, isn't...
