Theresa and I are in Denver visiting her son and his family for the week. It is 82 degrees here today. Supposed to have snow and 28 degrees tomorrow. Will post again Monday after thanksgiving. I'm grateful for the readers of the blog and hope that your thanksgiving is a very special time. God is God and God is good - all the time - even through loss, which in His economy evolves into gain. Praise the Lord.

The author
The writer, a Life Coach, observes the tough times of life as challenges to gain great life lessons and personal growth through the loss of comfort, status, material, position, health, relationships, etc. "Consider it a sheer gift when tests and challenges come...You know that under pressure, your faith-life...shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way." His and others' stories make up the blogsite.

Tough Times can be Valuable
"There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary - we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!" Romans 5:3-5 The Message
Good And Mad
