I left my house early this morning in darkness… and in pain. It was one of those times when my body turns against me and hits me in the gut. An hour later I’m dancing in the food line with our chef, Sherri – rocking out to Denver and the Mile High Orchestra.
Yesterday I had a great day… a day of freedom and some serious joy in the Lord – and I started this one with my body beating me up. I fully believe there is a real Enemy out there. He’s like a petty thief that tries to steal or mar whatever good thing God pours into my life. BUT…
He is crushed, de-fanged and defeated by the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen!
This will be a good day. Even if the pain returns, it will be a good day because my Father is a good God who spreads His wings over me… over you… over this moment, whether it’s filled with joy or pain. That’s why this “no fear” thing keeps coming back to me. God is good… Jesus is King… and, like a child, I am safe and sound in Daddy’s lap.
This is going to be such a cool Sharathon….

I love to read your words. They always inspire and point me to Him and His Word. Thank you for being who you are and for allowing God to work through you. You are a blessing in my life. Dance on!
Dear Sandy,
I enjoy so much listening to your husband Denny on the morning show, and I have for years now. I live in Erie, Pa...and I wish I was there with all of you. I just listen, and my heart aches to be out in the auditorium "mixing it up", and sharing God's wonderful blessings with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. When I don't feel calm, I turn on FLN, when I don't feel safe, I turn on FLN, when the enemy is giving it his best to beat me down, I turn on FLN, and just the familiar voices of the announcers, and the songs calms me almost instantly. Whatever time of day. This could be a huge story, but in order to keep it short, I'll just tell you that I read this blog here, and you mentioned that you were in pain. Pain has become a way of life for me. Emotional and physical. Just this morning the doctor finally ordered X-rays. I am off of work for at least six days, if not more. That scares me to death, but I know that God is in control. As I listened to you all this morning on my way to get the x-rays, I wished so much that I could send even five dollars. But, with the co-pays, doctor bills, and loss of work hours, I just can't this year. But, I am faithfully praying for the Sharathon, and for all of you. I will also now be praying for your pain. God is teaching me AMAZING things, and I know that He will continue to through my "momentary and light afflictions". God Bless You.
