Today, I was faced with a dilemma.  I was humbled to see pain and hurt. When I see or here how people can hurt each other, I realize how we need Christ to center us.  He has helped me so much in my own pain and the pain I have caused.  I pray all that is shared in these blogs are to encourage us.  I want to focus on God being first in my life.  I am inviting you to join me.  All who read the articles here, please look and read them with an open mind to follow God more closely.

Fyi, What I mean above by all the (Michaels) is to encourage all those who want to follow God, not by saying but by doing.  The media puts down all the (Karens).  I want all my Michaels to be encouraged.  God has in my life connected me with now 4 Michaels who had pain.  Each one that He connected with me were mixed up in sin as I am and have been.  I realize each one connected with me not because I seek them out to meet them, but God placed them in my life currently all 3 that I connected with have disappeared.  Two of the Michaels ended up in prison/jail, I wrote to them encouraging them in Christ.  Then l found out also later in life that 2 of them died.
