As you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation. —2 Corinthians 1:7
After years of a remarkable and fruitful ministry in India, Amy Carmichael became a bedridden sufferer. As the courageous founder and dynamic heart of the Dohnavur Fellowship, she had been instrumental in rescuing hundreds of girls and boys from a terrible life of sexual servitude.
While she carried on her rescue operation of bringing young people into spiritual freedom through faith in Jesus Christ, she wrote books and poems that are still blessing readers around the world.
Then arthritis made Amy a pain-wracked invalid. Did she bemoan her affliction or question God? No. Amy was still the guiding inspiration of Dohnavur, and she still kept on writing. Her meditations, letters, and poems are filled with praise to God and encouragement to her fellow pilgrims.
When affliction strikes us, how do we react? Are we embittered, or do we trustfully appropriate God’s sustaining grace? (2 Cor. 12:9). And do we prayerfully encourage those around us by our Spirit-enabled cheerfulness, our courage, and our confidence in God?
When we rely on the Lord, He will help us turn pain into praise.

Missed you guys! Glad all is well.
Thanks for checking. I must have just missed it when it came through.
Good to read a new foxhole thread.
Dial up??? I get cranky anymore when I can't get wireless!
LOL. We've always had cable and we've always networked them. We've really gone down hill now! I have a wireless laptop, two of them in fact, one belongs to my employer but I can't get any signals out here!
Thanks CJ. What's new in your life?
You must stop by next time you're down here or over here. :-)
In the Thomasville paper the powers that be are concerned that the city doesn't have the services for the some 3600 new housing permits, it's growing. Folks flocking from the high cost of Tallahassee, high insurance rates, too.
I know you know this area and I'll just say I'm glad to be north of Tallahasse and Thomasville! Dang this dial-up though!
Thanks Brian. Your group photo was one of the first ones to go up in my new computer room! Looking for land, look at Georgia.
We stayed in NC for about 4 months and I was offered a position in Tallahassee, couldn't afford to pay for two places so yep, we're in the deep south as they say. Got an acre of tall pines! Down here folks aren't afraid to talk about God on the radio or anywhere, it's quite refreshing.
radu says she has satellite internet, it's a little pricey but maybe we will have to. They don't promise DSL or cable anytime soon out here. :-(
"Got an acre of tall pines! Down here folks aren't afraid to talk about God on the radio or anywhere, it's quite refreshing."
Lucky you having the tall pines. Be careful of pine beetles, though. We lost 47 trees to hurricanes in 2004, and 48 trees to pine beetles. We see dead trees all around us too.
Yes, you are in the Bible belt where you are. It's a wonderful place to be. It can be frustrating, though, if you are used to doing business on Sundays. If it's a small town, most/all businesses close up shop then.

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. —Nahum 1:7
Nineveh was in trouble with God. Big trouble! Despite the good work of the reluctant prophet Jonah, Nineveh had returned to its evil ways. The Ninevites had oppressed other countries, worshiped idols, and performed acts of cruelty.
God saw this evil, and through the words of Nahum He spoke of Nineveh’s coming destruction, using words such as wrath and vengeance. Nineveh was about to face judgment.
Why would God’s prophet tell the people of Judah about this? How could Nahum’s frightening words help those who lived in the Promised Land?
There is help for answering those questions in Nahum 1:7-8. His prophecy of the destruction of those who reject God stands in sharp contrast to God’s promise to those “who trust in Him.” The godly, rather than facing judgment, would be cared for. They would have a refuge in Him.
God is not one-sided. He provides refuge, help, and comfort for those who trust Him, and He also sends judgment against those who disobey His standards.
The message for us is the same as it was for Judah. Through trust and obedience, we can enjoy the comfort of God’s refuge—even in times of trouble.
