A Message for a Reader

I learned last week that a regular reader of the blog has had a family crisis erupt. She has been deeply supportive of one of the true good guys in here, a guy who is like my own son.


I won’t put her personal situation out here. It’s one thing for me to spill my guts about my life, my experiences. It’s entirely different to put someone else’s life in these pages.

I did want to let her know she, her husband and especially her daughter, are in my prayers. This too shall pass. I’ve learned our character is most evident in times of turmoil and crisis. Your daughter is strong. With your unwavering love and support, she’ll see this through.

Life tests us, yet we can see it through. It took me a long time to realize what James meant when he wrote “consider it all joy . . . when you encounter various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. . . .”
