For years, I believed exactly what Christine Caine‘s quote says:
But it only led me away from Christ.
Christine Caine has done some great work, but on this point, we differ. It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Don’t we all wish Super Jesus would swoop in wearing one of Benny Hinn’s white suits, wave a magic hanky, and save the day?
We all wish for it, but unfortunately, God usually doesn’t change us or our circumstances in an instant.
I’m honored to share my story of how God has worked ordinarily in my life today. Click here to read the rest of this story on Christian Courier.

I’ve seen God work all sorts of ways, but most of the time, the ordinary ways are the most beautiful. Believe it or not. 🙂
Thanks, bud!
🙂 I forget where you folks are located … Are you and the family getting buried in this East Coast snow too, this morning? 🙂
We’re in Birmingham, Alabama. Haven’t had a good snow since 1993. 🙂
Ah, I see. Here’s hoping the lot of you get to go out and enjoy the white stuff at least once a year (& actually, maybe *only* once a year). Good for the soul! 🙂
I love it. We had our fair share in Alaska–I miss it big time! 🙂
I bet! You’ll have to have a big cup of hot chocolate soon, just for the sake of nostalgia. 🙂
You can keep the hot chocolate, friend. I’ll have spiked apple cider or some strong coffee! Ha
