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.

God of All Things WONDERFUL!

What a WONDERFUL day it has been!!! An intimate time at Your feet this morning.  A long list of tasks on my work and home "To Do" lists checked off.  Some key actions taken to further "touch" a few of those "Divine Appointments" You have orchestrated.  A happy kitty who, with a fair amount of freedom outside...

Never a Right Time for the Wrong Place

You and I have been in a conversation together for the past ten days.  A life-and-death conversation. This conversation became necessary because I had "let my guard down"... ever so slightly.  As a result, I was beginning to "dabble" in "old patterns."  "It's no big deal," I theorized.  I was wrong.  Suddenly, the "dabbling" became a portal...

Divine Appointment of Hope

Lord, Lord, Lord... Aside from just soaking in Your Presence, there's nothing I enjoy more than the gift of serving You.  By Your Amazing Grace, today You gave me just such an opportunity -- a Divine Appointment You had planned long ago. We went to church in the town of Madison this morning.  A Methodist Church.  We...

Batter Up!

I must say:  Life with You -- "walking by faith" -- is The Adventure of a Lifetime! What are the metaphors that apply to what happened today?  Something that could radically change my future?  Being thrown a curve ball?  Thrown for a loop?  By something that came out of left field? I like the baseball analogy. ...

Gardener of Grace

Weeds. They had taken over our herb garden in the thirteen+ weeks we were gone.  The herbs had largely disappeared, but the weeds were THRIVING.  Some of them had grown several feet tall... like mini-trees, complete with branches. I spent a fair amount of today pulling those weeds up... and planting new herbs. Out with the...

Lord Who Sings to Me

Oh, Abba... You're so Amazing.  Surprising... yet Predictable. "In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help... He heard my voice... He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters."  (Psalm 18:6,16) You didn't wait long to send me Your...

Windows to the Soul

I know just how You must have felt when You looked into the eyes of those whose hearts were hard towards You. I have looked into so many of those eyes -- the windows to the soul -- and seen those hard hearts. I saw a lot of them just last night. We were at...

Making This New Year the Happiest EVER!

Lord, Lord, Lord... You are so KIND to me!!! I went to a luncheon today with lots of women!!! (As You know, we do this once a month, to "network" and encourage each other). There were at least eighty women there today -- some I know well and love dearly... some I met today for the first time... others were there...

Pushing the Limits

You showed me my heart today. Funny how clearly I could see it... when, at the time, I was driving through a dense fog. I was on my way to Tampa for my second six-month check-up... this one, with the oncologist. The fog was so thick, I could hardly see the road ahead of me....

Rising from the Ashes

"Get busy living..." I haven't yet sorted through the 2,700+ photos I took in The Land of the Midnight Sun. (Yes, it really was sunny at midnight... Weird!!! :) ] I finally got through the 250+ emails that were stacked up in my Inbox. Many were junkmail... some were treasures. One treasure was sent to...
