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.

You Are MORE than the Air I Breathe!

It was 94 degrees outside today.  But I couldn't stop thinking about snowflakes. Not that I was wishing for them.  A cool breeze would have sufficed.  But it was a particular quality of snowflakes that kept "sticking" to my mind.  Just like a snowflake might stick to my head. Each snowflake is unique.  Totally, completely...

What If I Hadn’t Told Her?

I almost didn't say anything. I didn't know her very well.  I had seen her a few times, but our conversations had remained near the surface.  The general sharing done between newly-introduced people. Work  Family.  Fun. You had burdened my heart for her all week.  I prayed and prayed and prayed, for her and for...

Who Am I? Where Am I?

Lord, Lord, Lord... I have been sitting here at my computer for over an hour, trying to gather my thoughts for today's posting.  I know what You have put on my heart to write, but I just can't seem to put together a coherent sentence. I am, quite literally, falling asleep in front of my...

Where The Rubber Meets The Road

My friend was (is?) struggling today. She is facing the floodwaters of her own Jordan River, blocking the way into her Promised Land.  She is feeling the pressure of her back against the Red Sea with the enemy bearing down on her. What is the way out?  What is the way through? She is in that thrilling and...

Declarations & Exclamations!

How do I capture the essence of our time together this morning, Lord?  I have pages and pages of notes in my journal from our precious encounter.  Perhaps a few exclamations would be in order... or, perhaps, just one. WOW!!! I have had seasons during which my daily "Quiet Times" with You seemed to be...

One Small Step… One Giant Leap!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.  I know that expression has become somewhat of a cliche.  But, in my case, it's absolutely true. I am in the most amazing "season" with You, Lord.  A season I know You are using to help me live my life more intentionally, in pursuit...

My Last Resort?!

It isn't "what" happens that really matters... is it, Lord?  It's how we respond to whatever happens. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in...

Gratefully Seeing 3D!

The third "musketeer" had vanished. I had named them last summer.  Three beautiful horses in a single pasture, not far from our house.  One white, one brown, one black. I passed by there almost every day... and they were always together.  Not just in the same pasture, but together.  Side-by-side, whether grazing or frolicking or shooing flies....

Who Will YOU Choose to Lead Us, Lord?

The United States of America.  The first -- and most powerful -- major experiment in Democracy.  What an amazing privilege You have given us, Lord. Three branches of government to ensure a balance of powers instead of consolidation of Power. The privilege we have of voting to choose our leaders.  The opportunities we have to...

Prophetic Gardening

I will never look at a vegetable garden the same again. We worked the ground until our sweat -- and, yes, some blood! -- became part of it.  (Thankfullly, only minor cuts and scrapes... thanks to our early battles with stubborn weeds and buried rocks). We strained our backs and knees -- not to mention every muscle between...
