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.

I met him through my husband. We see each other only occasionally. Mostly at professional functions gathering people nationwide. We...

Running On Empty… ???

What is the technology equivalent of fumes, Lord? Like when a car's fuel tank is almost empty and it's running on fumes?
