You were not the only one escorted from the venue that rejected you. That you were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name puts you in the company of many broken folks who have confronted the reasons they are truly grateful for the empty tomb and shiny men reminding us of Jesus' calling us from and sending us forth.

God knows about it and is going to make it back to you. Just this morning we finished reading STRUGGLING FOR WHOLENESS that you and your sister Jan wrote back in 1986. We would read several chapters before going to bed at night & while riding home from spending time with my 88 yr old parents. We laughed and cried as God used your stories to move us closer to Him. You have a wonderful ministry. You are a gift of God to us.<br>Al & Rose Yoderal5254http://www.blogger.com/profile/11370484179857472650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172269266244597586.post-42763901994886006372011-05-18T15:59:44.414-07:002011-05-18T15:59:44.414-07:00Ann,Your honest broken life showed me how to live ...Ann,<br>Your honest broken life showed me how to live my broken life in a transparent way. As a little girl mom read aloud "I'm out to change my World" and your story of Buster inspired a young girl to look through different lenses at the people around her and let God teach her how to love them. I've returned to that book over and over again. I recently read it aloud to my children.<br><br>I thank the Lord for you and the passionate way you live your life for Christ. <br>KellyKellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09218687394803125305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172269266244597586.post-81613287020145969202011-05-17T21:20:16.423-07:002011-05-17T21:20:16.423-07:00Ann, thank you for your transparency, you are a bl...Ann, thank you for your transparency, you are a blessing to those of us who struggle. I think Jim Copple says it very well, so I will quote him here..."Oh, what if the Kingdom of God were truly the Kingdom of God? Reconciliation, vision, hope, healing, forgiveness, open hand, tolerance, inclusion, love, justice and why is it we have to spend so much time convincing the institutions established in the name of that Kingdom that this is the way of the Kingdom"? - Jim CoppleElainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15584226929250659843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172269266244597586.post-33843062689564314032011-05-17T20:11:10.405-07:002011-05-17T20:11:10.405-07:00You were the first Christian author I read when I ...You were the first Christian author I read when I was saved in 1983.
