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.

One-of-a-Kind Gift

Good News, gift-wrapped in GREAT NEWS.  That was Your first "One-of-a-Kind Gift" to me today, Lord! I came off the mountain this morning, back into cell phone range, for the first time in two days.  I turned off Airplane Mode and received notification that I had a voicemail message from Highlands Regional Medical Center in...

Manna from Heaven

God-given Provision.  Supernatural Sustenance.  Worship-provoking Deliverance. "He brought you water out of hard rock.  He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness... to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you."  (Deuteronomy 8:15b-16) Today's unexpected news about a tax refund.  Totally amazing!  Totally needed! Today's affirmation of a...

Knowing and Believing

There's a difference between "knowing" and "believing"... isn't there, Lord? "Of course there is" anyone reading that statement might say.  But what really is the difference?  And why is it so important to recognize that difference? To KNOW:  "To be aware of through observation, inquiry or information." To BELIEVE:  "To accept [something] as true; to...

The Beauty of New Beginnings

Clear blue skies!  Bright sunshine!  As the song says, "Oh!  What a beautiful morning!"  A fitting "exclamaton point" to the storms of the past few days. "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!  I say to myself, 'The Lord...

Cancelled Due to Rain… Again?!

What did we do before we were so connected? I have been disconnected for more than a day now.  No Internet.  Intermittent TV.  Satellite reception spotty to nonexistent.  No cell phone. Severe thunderstorms.  Steady rain.  Clear skies with no apparent weather issues.  The weather didn't seem to matter.  Maybe the satellites fell?  Or went on strike?...

Dreaming BIG!

By Your Grace, I used to help corporate leadership teams "Dream Big" -- setting visions that would pull their employees and, therefore, their companies into the future, with positive energy.  Visions to be Bigger, Better, Number One, the Only One. I say "by Your Grace" because I didn't know You back then.  Yet even then,...

Too Good to Be True…

The Wisdom of The Ages:  If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I downloaded some free client-development material yesterday.  It was written by a coach who makes a seven-figure annual income.  He claims to be the highest paid coach on earth. The material he shared includes some of what he has learned...

Meant to Be

There's beauty in Your natural order, Lord. We have been watching a bluebird family for many weeks.  We first spotted the male.  Brilliant blue from head to toe... or talon.  The female, more understated... but unmistakable nonetheless.. There's a wooden bird house right outside our office window.  That's how we came to know this male...

The Ultimate “Energizer”!

You "blew my mind" twice yesterday, Lord! The second time was last night, when You posted my blog to this website.  I was out of cell phone range, at a friend's house 2.5 hours away.  I typed my brief post anyway, into the only technology available to me -- my cell phone.  I hit the...

Hello? Anybody There?

How did I end up in such a low tech "bubble" in such a high tech world? Posting from my cell phone?  With virtually no cell phone signal?  Is this even working? You're right, Lord... Better to wait until tomorrow, when I'm back online. Glad I am ALWAYS online with You, Lord.  Never out of range.  Always...
