';For Maggie, the mythical Minotaur represented Romance half man, half beast.

Encouraging the EncouragerSometimes the encourager needs to be encouraged. People in ministry, regardless of its type, give of themselves. There comes a time, however, when they need to be refreshed, for them to continue to give. Yes, Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to help all those serving God: ';And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;' John 14:16.Many people will give trite advice, which says if we keep our eyes on Jesus, we will not sink just as Peter did when he walked on the water to Jesus. I agree that keeping our eyes on Jesus is the only way we can survive this world and ministry. However, the waves of our society are such that we are living during the height of a storm. Just turn on the news and all you seem to get is bad news. Is it any wonder that the waves rise so high that they often break through our line of vision?Therefore, I write, I want to be used by God, to help encourage anybody who needs it, to stay focused on Jesus. When your line of vision is broken, just blink, don't move your head, stay focused because the wave will subside, and Jesus will still be there, ready to reconnect with you.
