As cold waters to a thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country.
Proverbs 25:25

And in recent days two excellent reports have been given to me.
The first one came from my friend Don who goes into the city jail in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he shares Christ with the inmates. Don told me that the men are being inspired to develop a closer walk with God by the very same journal entries that I write on this website. He sometimes makes copies of various journal pages and discusses them in his Bible study classes.
The second item of good news concerns a residential drug and self-destructive behaviors treatment facility for women by the name of the Walter Hoving Home in Garrison, New York. I've learned that many of the residents have been touched and encouraged by my writings as well. A minister friend told this to me.
Reports such as these thrill my heart and refresh my soul. However I give the Lord the praise and glory because it's all His doing, not mine. But I am grateful to get such comments because they've helped lift me from a downcast frame of mind. Hallelujah!
