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.

My Favorite Storyteller

The Power of A Story Lived. Our past is our history.  For some, it is A Story Inflicted.  A Story Endured.  A Story Survived.  A Story To Be Forgotten.  But if we look closely enough, with the hindsight that is often 20/20, we may see that our past is really His-story (Your story, Lord) in our...

Lord of Purr-fection!

How could I have lived for so long, Lord -- more than half of the years I could reasonably "guesstimate" I would live on Earth -- and not realize I was a closet cat-lover???  I guess because I never was one... before Skippy. Maybe it was the timing of her sudden appearance some eight years ago, or the circumstances...

Lord of Mistaken Identity

Sometimes I grieve deeply at the success Your enemy has had in misrepresenting You.  And how that "pendulum" can swing widely from one extreme to the other. I met a Christian recently who grew up in a church where all that was taught about You was anger and judgment and vengeance.  I can't help but...

Almighty Truth Teller

Today, I'm feeling a little like the ten spies may have felt after scouting out the Promised Land.  They saw giants in the land and gave a "bad report" because they saw themselves like grasshoppers... and they were terrified. I was at a meeting yesterday where I am considered the Leader.  I was in the...

Giver of Dreams

I've been dreaming a lot lately.  Trouble is, I don't remember most of them.  I make the transition from dream-filled sleep into semi-consciousness... still vaguely aware that I have had a rather involved, content-rich dream.  Yet, in the imaginary blink of an eye (since my eyes are still closed), it vanishes. Until last night. I...

Gracious Teacher

FEAR has been defined as "False Evidence Appearing Real."  But what if the evidence isn't false? I have never seen You bring sudden destruction on a land and a people in clear and immediate fulfillment of words You spoke through Your prophet (e.g., rivers of blood, plagues of frogs and gnats and flies and hail and locusts...

Lord Who Never Changes

Just once, Lord, I would like to be a "fly on the wall" in a gathering of Your people... in the year 30 A.D.  How would it be similar -- or different -- from the gatherings I am part of today? "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and...

Lord Who Emboldens

I love it when You bring Your Word to life!  There are times when we know something.  We believe it in our minds, but it hasn't yet traveled that longest distance on Earth -- the distance between our minds and our hearts.  Then there are other times when we don't just know something, we become...

Lord of Grace and Truth

I don't know if it will make any difference. I have a meeting with a good friend on Monday.  My friend loves You dearly, Lord.  I know You feel the same way about my friend.  I guess that's why You arranged for this meeting between us.  To talk about the path my friend is on...

Cheering for You, Lord!

I remember when I was not quite a "teeny-bopper."  (Yes, Lord, it was a long time ago... but not THAT long!!!)  :)  The Beatles were taking the world by storm.  I went to the very first showing of their first movie, "A Hard's Day's Night," in Washington DC at the RKO Keith's movie theater.  The theater was packed with...
