In 2013 I wrote the following on Facebook:

addition remarks on my current reading of The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn - It has captivated me in a way different from any book I've read - startling amazed at his words. He speaks often of the connection of America and Israel. Two good questions to ask: how? and why? If you are very curious about this but don't want to buy the book yet, I'd suggest you check the web regarding Jonathan Cahn...you can then click on the video of his talk as the key note speaker at the 2013 inauguration prayer breakfast. Riveting is the word I use to describe his 40 minute talk. I also discovered an interesting connection between Ground Zero and the consecration prayer after Washington was inaugurated. Hope I've tickled your curiosity enough for you to check this out

The Three Most Beautiful Words Ever Spoken

THE THREE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS EVER SPOKEN - Imagine the satisfaction an artist feels when the last brush stroke is placed; satisfaction an architect feels when the last line is drawn on the plans for a structure; satisfaction a seamstress feels when the last stitch has been sewn on a beautiful garment; satisfaction when an author writes the final word; satisfaction for any creative act, including all of creation. Each of these and any other that may come to mind ends with "It Is Finished" But when Jesus drew His last breath on the cross and spoke "IT IS FINISHED" the foundations of Hell shook and Satan and his demons cringed at the reality of those THREE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS EVER SPOKEN. Remember them.

Deep sorrow, seven years ago, after Easter

April 7, 2013   On Facebook, I wrote:

Sometimes my posts feel like emotional roller coasters - the last one was a Goethe quote: "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it." Today it is focusing on the black hole of depression sucking the life out of dear ones like Rick Warren's son. We grieve with the Warren's as they journey through this unspeakable pain of loss. Just a week ago, they celebrated Easter...They sang with joy. And now they live with sorrow. Oh God, comfort your people.
Rick Warren's son committed suicide, leaving them to grieve and question God.

Depression

DO YOU GET DEPRESSED?  I do.  We are in great company. Look what I found in my quiet time this morning.  One of the best known stories in the Old Testament is about Elijah and the prophets of Baal.  This story is a great read in 1 Kings.  It makes you want to shout YEAH GOD!  Elijah had enough courage to possibly make a fool of himself AND God.  But God did His "God Thing"---Fire from heaven BIG TIME!

This story did not depress me, you may be thinking!  READ ON.  Right after this incredible story, our hero of O.T. History gets depressed and scared This is a great read...and so like God to show us the highs AND lows - not a little but A LOT! Elijah can't function.  He can't eat.  All he wants to do is sleep....What does God do? Does God call Elijah a wimp? Does God say, "I'm done with you Elijah!" The opposite. God ENCOURAGES him.  Elijah thought he was all alone.  God showed him that he wasn't.  God showed Elijah a vast number of His people --- 7,000 who were faithful to God.
