Well, I realized that I should update this “about” page since I have been moved from teaching at home to teaching once a week at the church. I never really envisioned doing this, but I have enjoyed it immensely. Mostly, I would like to thank the lovely people who come to these studies and share their hearts and walks with Christ with me.

Back in November 2006, the Lord placed it upon my heart to start a Bible Study in my home. I considered that crazy. I don’t have time to prepare. I don’t even have a history of doing Bible Studies. I’m a Bible Study novice. But then, I also considered my desire to re-connect with people… with friends… with women. I feel very disenfranchised. And exactly what am I doing to change that?
I think I have something to give. I think I have something to learn. So, like the old movie, “Field of Dreams,” I felt I should build it … and they will come.
Lastly, there is something that still needs to happen with these stories. I’ll be sharing more about that project later.

I wish I had a comment at this time but I do not
I am asking for help in seeking to unsear my conscience.
you see I haved sinned so badly under the influence of Crack Cocaine
that sometime I think(maybe this seared conscience thinking)that there is no hope for me and i am bound to hell.
I have struggled with relapse. This as been my best year, mayabe that why i am reaching out.
I tried the 12 step program but found it wanting.
I tried confession at the church only to be attacked more viciously by demons aftrerwards.
I fear now that the demons will attack just because i am writing you
sounds crazy? Maybe but that’s how I feel
I ask God to help me, but I know God works through people. i many of the people that seemed to have tried to help are demons themselves.
I can tell becuase I know, because I was in the devils’ army for so long.
I want out and it doesn’t want me to
Thank you for sending or supporting me in any way.

God is bigger than you are. God is bigger than Satan.
You need fellowship. If things are as bad as you say… then you need to go back to the 12 step program and get a mentor….whether it’s “wanting” or not… stick with it. I recommend you go to Social Services to receive counsel as well as church (find another one if the one before could not handle your story). Your job is not to give up. Stand. Just stand.
Ephesians 6:14-15
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Hi,
I’m a retired art historian trying to assemble an art exhibition for Lent for my church, Wallingford Presbyterian (www.wallingfordpres.org). I love the image accompanying “Mary’s Extravagant Love” and would like to include it. Is that permissible, and if so, whom should I credit? Just the URL for the blog? It’s a gorgeous image! If I can include it in the show, is there any higher resolution image of it available? It will just be shown for a week in the narthex of the church and will not be reproduced in any publication. Look forward to hearing from you, and great blog!
