Recovering from a Site That Was Down
It seems there is always going on with this site. It was down a good part of last year and then the last few weeks, I’ve been locked out of my dashboard so I haven’t been able to post anything. Thankfully, I am back in now so I might have to make up for lost time. 🙂
Next week, I hope to post a couple CD reviews. I am really behind on those so I may review some CDs that actually came out early last year or the previous one but maybe it will be a reminder to those who had wanted to purchase some but had forgotten to do so. I may even throw in some book reviews. My editing has picked up lately so, although the books won’t necessarily be southern gospel related, I’ve had the blessing of editing some good books if you like to read. Some are lighthearted and encouraging; others are challenging. I enjoy reading both of those categories.
On a personal note, I continue to slowly work through the Walk of Repentance Bible study. Last night, I read Colossians 3:1-17, which shows clearly how a Christian shouldn’t act and how he or she should. I don’t think Scripture gets any clearer than when it says to “Put off” and “Put on.” The Bible study then asked how many of the sins you have overcome and how many of the victories have become yours. Very thought provoking. If you have time, I would encourage you to go over these verses and examine yourself in the light of God’s Word.
Lord willing, I will be writing more inspirational, motivational, and challenging posts next week but, for now, I just want to wish you a great weekend. If you are sick, please consider others and stay home tomorrow. If you are well and not snowed in, I hope you have a Body of Believers to learn from and worship with. Throughout my life, I have wondered at times if this was really true, but we do need each other. I will be in touch again soon.
Sony!
Great to see your post! Please expound on “throughout my life I’ve wondered if this is really true” -you caught me on this last sentiment. I know for me it’s been not the easiest to find a body but I’m unclear if that’s what you meant by this. Easier way, would love to hear your thoughts and if I’m the only one feeling this way?!
Blessings my friend.

Hi Hilary, I’m sorry for my delayed response. To answer your question: There have been times when I have been disillusioned with the Church. Sometimes it would be a lot easier to find a remote place and lock the door and not deal with people. But the fact is that it’s the Church that can challenge, encourage, rebuke, and exhort. We need all of these in order to grow but not lose heart. These days, I focus on surrounding myself with people that I believe really love me, who will encourage me when I’m down but won’t be afraid to tell me if I’m getting off track a bit. It’s hard to find people like this but I believe I do have these kinds of people in my life. I am so grateful.
Thank you for your words of encouragement
God bless you
