Hi, I'm Diana Furr!

Six years ago, I entered the Valley of Cancer. Now cancer-free (!), I am keenly aware that cancer of a different kind is attacking one of the liberties I cherish most in America -- Religious Liberty. Who will win this battle? People of faith, empowered with knowledge, practical strategies, and the courage to stand. This blog will become your "go to" place for Learning and Leverage, especially for leaders in business -- the next great mission field for Christ.

Slicing the Masterpiece Cake – Part 1

I heard the news minutes after it broke. Two days ago. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jack Phillips in the highly-anticipated case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. My immediate reaction? I wept. With gratitude and joy. Saying over and over, "Thank You, Jesus!"  YET... A heart-prompting I now recognize as the Holy...

Surf’s Up… YIKES!

If ever there was a time for higher ground, the time is NOW. We've had way too much rain in the last week. As much as 5 inches in as many hours. We're in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Meaning the rain at higher elevations combines with our own. Which produces... FLOODING!!! Like...

Supersize My Weakness… Please!

What self-respecting military bootcamp would ever market a course entitled "The Power of Weakness" as the essential foundation for Victory in battle? None. That's a fact. And maybe that's The Problem. Because as long as warrior training is self-respecting, it is blind -- hopelessly and irrevocably -- to the True Source of Power... The Lord Jesus...

How Did My Friend Become… My Foe?

Barronelle Stutzman is a Christian floral designer in Richland, Washington. She never imagined herself as a crusader. Just a 72-year-old grandmother who loves her business and her customers. She loved working with her longtime friend Rob. He was her loyal customer for a decade. She knew he was in a same-sex relationship, but that didn't...

Danger!!! Bible Zone!!!

Memorial Day -- the day we remember those who gave their lives serving in our nation's military. Yesterday, I wrote about that beautiful display at SEARS, created by employees to honor their fallen military heroes.  https://championsofdestiny.com/when-time-stood-still/ Maybe that's why today's news caught me so by surprise. Did I wake up in an episode of that old...

When Time Stood Still

For me, time had stopped. Or at least, my watch had. I went to the jewelry department in Sears. I didn't even know Sears had a jewelry department. I had gone there for a different reason altogether. But I also needed a watch battery. The sales associate helping me raved about their jeweler. So there...

We Have Met the Enemy, and He Is…

Earthly power is addictive. Lord Acton put it in unmistakable terms: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."  https://acton.org/research/lord-acton-quote-archive Is this really true? If so, who gives (and/or assumes) such corrupting authority? Allen Ginsberg, one of the 20th century's most influential poets, was a founding father of the revolutionary countercultural Beat Movement. He...

Limburger Stinks… So Does This!

How many companies do you know that "exist to glorify God"? You probably would never have heard of this one, Telescope Media Group, had it not been for a law threatening their very existence. Carl and Angel Larsen love telling stories. They get a lot of practice, with eight children. :)  Also, through their business, producing...

Soul Food… Or Sour Taste?

Alaska Airlines (AA) has been around for over 85 years. Like other airline companies, it has had its share of ups and downs (no pun intended!) due to volatile economic conditions, fuel costs, labor relations, etc. And, although a regional player, it has also been considered an innovator in technology and service.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines Bruce Kennedy...
