Getting Your FEET Back Under You

By -
Wow!  Although I have written many in my head, it has been a while since I last blogged.  These last few weeks, I have been learning to get my feet back under me.   It has been a wonderful time of soul searching and character building, but I was not so sure at the time.  On this side, it is refreshing to hear, "You look really great.  Your countenance has changed."  After the work put forth, that is quite a nice echo in the ears. My blog prior to this was very candid (to prevent redundancy, see last blog for details).  Needless to say, I felt I was at end of myself.  I began writing the following blog, while helping my daughter learn that she can somersault.  This particular daughter is very tactile and has been since she was very, very young.  When we watched, Herby: Fully Loaded, she would somersault over and over again all over the room with excitement.  She was more entertaining than the movie, even thought the mov...

Recently, an evangelist was speaking on vision and talked about the passage of Genesis 30.  It seems so many are talking and writing on vision.  What a great topic to stir us to move forward!  In Genesis 30, Laban tried to trick Jacob out of his inheritance.  Laban told Jacob he could have all the spotted or streaked animals, but then Laban hid those animals with his sons to keep them from Jacob.  In return, Jacob gave the animals left in his care an image to focus on in order to change the situation.  Then Jacob took some fresh branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled off strips of bark, making white streaks on them. Then he placed these peeled branches in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, for that was where they mated.   And when they mated in front of the white- streaked  branches, they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted.   (Gen. 30: 37-39 NLT)     ...
