God Encouraged Me When I Was Down at School
Hello, Bloggers! I apologize for my very long absence. I’ve been very busy with school, plus I’ve had issues with my computer, and then it had been so long that I’d forgotten the password and I didn’t have time to e-mail for it. As you see, I have now attended to the matter. Check out this e-mail I...

God be praised! Justi and George have his son.
Thanks for the prayers. We saw God's hand in this from beginning to end. The fly in the ointment is that Justi's computer crashed, so pray for that issue, please.

What Justi is doing
Please pray for Justi and George. They are traveling on Friday to have an intervention for George's son, an alcoholic. In so doing, they must face the ex-wife and estranged daughter. This situation is tense, and I believe my brother's (George's son Eric) life is at stake. Justi's computer crashed,...

The Enemy Without
He Stalks by Beverly Russell 8-5-08 Complacently, we forget he’s there, Go on our way without a care. Yet the Enemy is busy indeed, Working with diligence and speed. He has many targets, I know. One, my brother, we will not let go. We intercede with much prayer; Tell Satan, “Don’t go there!” We fall...

The Enemy Within
The Enemy Within by Beverly Russell 8-5-08 I pray to You in all sincerity, Asking for faith and for piety. Yet deep inside, something holds back. Something resists; there is a lack. Why can’t I submit and yield all? What cancer within me resists Your call? What won’t let go and break through? Take...

That Girl
That Girl by Beverly Russell 1-13-06 She slides into her desk and hunkers down. It’s not in her to be the class clown, So she hides to escape notice from anyone, Hoping to get home unscathed when the day is done. Does her teacher know her at all? Who is she, really? Or is the teacher just glad she...

God's Art
God’s Art by Beverly Russell July 21, 2008 God’s fingers gently shaped my child’s nose, Glided over her cheeks and molded her ears; Yet those same fingers carved the magnificent Grand Canyon. God’s breath started my child’s life, And His winds stir the ocean waters Sometimes gently, sometimes...

My 1984 Prayer with You
Note: I wrote this poem when I was 16. I’ve been busy with home life, so I dug this up so I could post something. I hope you enjoy it, but do bear in mind my tender age at the time I wrote it! My Prayer with You Dec. 5, 1984 Lord, I don’t know just what to say; I’m not sure exactly how to pray, But...

A Child's Perspective
A Child’s Perspective Dad, Mom, why can’t I play now? Why do I have to do that? Why do you make me clean up? You’re mean! Father God, I have questions too. If You don’t like sin, why did You make our nature so sinful? Since You are omnipotent, why don’t You stop child abuse? starvation?...

God's Child (?) Questions
God’s Child (?) Questions Two essential questions haunt me: Am I truly “saved”? Why can’t I trust in God? After the tsunami in Asia, I went to church for the fourth time in recent weeks, sure that the end times were here. After listening to a passionate sermon and being moved to tears, I headed to...
