Extreme Makeover

I am embarrassed to admit that it has been a long time since I last used this space.  It is hard to believe that it lay dormant for almost two years! At times,guests peer in, taking a brief look around and wonder if anyone is still writes here.  It makes me think of an old abandoned house as a man looks through the doorway, his eyes drawn to the lifeless furniture scattered throughout the open floor plan. The stiff worn carpet that cracks as he steps across, is quite a contrast to the inviting warm plushness of the threads he expected to feel.  He continues further, expecting to feel the warmth from golden rods of sunlight  dancing across the living room.  Instead, he fights to breath from the dust swirling around in the air like a record setting snowstorm. But he's excited now about the opportunities that lie ahead, using this new awakening to charter a course to breath new life into some old walls.

I have no doubt this transformation will be amazing but it will not be easy.  He will have bear heavy loads to lift as he clears each room to prepare changes.  Countless hours will be spent fixing, cleaning and building.  No doubt, he'll be bruised and cut, tired, sore and at times ready to throw in the towel.  But through it all, his perseverance will pave the way to a lasting transformation.  

So How's your own foundation been holding up lately? Are you ready to begin your own extreme makeover?  If so, join with me over the next forty days.  It's not going to be easy, I can assure you of that.  Plenty of heavy lifting to do here. But If your committed, you will be a stronger and more vital person of faith than when from entered.


I'd like to close out tonight's words with a link to a song by Steven Curtis Chapman. For me, this song resonates why I started writing on here two years ago, and why I decided to write on here again, and more importantly...... share my words of faith with you.

Until next Friday
