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.

Will I Ever Understand, Lord?

Was it something I said, Lord?  Or didn't say? Was it something I did?  Or didn't do? What other questions can I ask, Lord?  Questions without answers. Will I ever understand?  How can I, Lord, when all my questions just evaporate into thin air? I met her last year.  We had a wonderful time sharing...

What Do We Stand — or Fall — For?

We were eating lunch today, sitting at our dining room table, looking out into our back yard.  A gentle breeze passed through the trees, making the leaves dance.  Our very first thought was: "Look!  Wind to pollinate our corn!" That got me thinking.  Is that true for all farmers, Lord?  Whenever they take note of any...

The Purr-fect Wake Up Call

Oh, Abba... This isn't a deeply profound post.  It's just a simple expression of my heartfelt thanks to You... for Your simple expression of Your heartfelt love for me. You prove it every day... even in the smallest details which might otherwise escape notice. Saturdays have been arriving very early lately. Today was Week 7 in our...

Our Own Personal “Woodstock”

Forty-six years ago, in the summer after I graduated from high school, almost 500,000 people gathered in New York for the now famous Woodstock Festival.  Some of the biggest names in rock n' roll played in concert there 24/7.  According to history.com, it was originally conceived as "3 Days of Peace & Music." I didn't...

Hope in the Horror

It's amazing how, at times, we can believe we see things so clearly... yet at the same time, remain so blind. For example, there are those who see clearly -- with righteous anguish -- the true horror of six milliion Jews being slaughtered in the Holocaust.  Yet many of these same people turn a blind eye to...

Surprised by Joy!

I laughed so hard today, I almost cried.  For awhile, I couldn't talk.  At times, I could hardly breathe. I was JOY-FULL!!! You spoke of the power of Your Joy, Lord, after the Babylonian captivity, when Your people had finished rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem.  They had accomplished this feat despite fierce opposition, often persevering while holding...

Sucking Pure Oxygen!

I had to look it up, Lord!  I had to know the beneficial effects of Hyberbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy (HBOT). The list of benefits is impressive (or, rather, the claims of benefits I read on Internet sites).  :)   According to those sites, for example: 1.  HBOT greatly increases the oxygen concentration in all body tissues,...

Shout from the Roofs!

That's the beauty of a platform... isn't it, Lord?  Whatever is said is heard be a lot of people. I guess that's why You gave Your people the following command: "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs."  (Matthew 10:27) Pro golfer...

Walking in Freedom — Part Two

Yesterday's post was about one of the "Life Lessons" You taught me during my recent birthday:  There are always Choices and Consequences. Today's post is about the particular Scripture You used as a loving "2 x 4" to help get Your point across.  :) Why this Scripture, Lord?  Is it because it speaks to the heart of why...

Walking in Freedom – Part One

One Choice At A Time.  That's where freedom is found... isn't it, Lord?  Because that's where Life happens.  Not in decades or years or days or even hours.  Life happens in moments -- moments of choice. "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.  Now choose life, so that you and your...
