I have a question about your work in England. If and when you possibly have the time, could I pick your brain about your work? My email address is mirandashearer@gmail.com. <br />THANKS<br />MirandaMirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952351565284278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-21937894407928943762010-04-13T16:03:51.395-04:002010-04-13T16:03:51.395-04:00Hi Amanda,

I have a question to ask you about your work in England? If and when you find the time would you mind emailing me so I could have your address. I know this is an odd way to contact you and you are very busy but I thought I'd try what I could to get in contact with you:) THANKS in advance! <br />Miranda <br />mirandashearer@gmail.comMirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952351565284278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-61933735727887585002010-04-13T14:30:08.797-04:002010-04-13T14:30:08.797-04:00I've read your blog numerous times but don'...I've read your blog numerous times but don't know if I've commented -<br />it's like this post (about Facebook and staying off the computer weeknights) was written about me!!!

I have become great friends with our pastor's wife, and have lately seen her going through some awful attacks by satan and it breaks my heart for her. I am praying for her and am trying to encourage her. I know from being a PK how hard it is to live in that fish-bowl; I have seen how Christians can allow themselves to be used by satan to attempt to tear down those who have been called to ministry and to destroy what God has built.<br /><br />I am going to buy this book for her. Thank you for telling us about it.

Honestly, I get enough of it during the day. Why do I feel the need to get on it when I get home? I think, like you, I'd go to bed a lot earlier and get to read longer. I try to do both and it doesn't work. So, thank you for writing this post as a nudge of encouragement!Lindsee Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764774489394905110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-25698591131033744362010-04-07T14:38:43.612-04:002010-04-07T14:38:43.612-04:00Hello! i just wanted to drop and and compliment yo...Hello! i just wanted to drop and and compliment your blog.

Alas, recently I have had the realization that Satan uses the over-exposure of all media outlets to overwhelm us and incapacitate us with the sheer volume of need...whether emotional needs of not-close friends or physical needs of millions around the world. <br />I don't know the perfect solution, but I am sure that God is big enough to highlight the paths he wants us to pursue and blind us to the others. <br />Thanks for sharing.Donitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779865975206187693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-83184553085865036352010-04-06T16:50:28.016-04:002010-04-06T16:50:28.016-04:00Amanda, It was nice to meet you also!

I will admit "loving Levi" has been a challenge at times. He has kept us on our knees. He is the "story" behind my talk, "When your teenager rebels". He is now 22 years old and a joy in our life! Thank you for sharing the story about giving up something. I have been without a computer for almost a week.Yup, it crashed and burned! Although I use it for ministry work, there are many times where I am just....hanging out with it:) I had allot more free time this week too!<br />Blessings to you.
