No New Post or EChurch. The “Thing” I Have Been HInting About Happens This Weekend.

Posted on by December 13, 2024avatar

“I don’t like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about half an inch wide.”  Larry David

The time is upon me, and I need to do some prep work for an incredibly busy weekend doing something that does not come naturally to me. Once done, it may take up to a couple of months before it can be discussed. God sure works in mysterious ways. He has especially challenged me to continue moving outside of my comfortable box. Ultimately, this is all about the victims and the community at TWW. That is why I am taking a deep breath and jumping in. Special thanks to the few of you who listened to me, counseled me, warned me, and encouraged me. May the words of my mouth…

So enjoy speaking with one another.

    God is with you for sure! You can do this!

    When the time comes, he will put the right words in your mouth and the right people around you .

    He will go before you and behind you.

    You are greatly loved by God and by many others.

    I’m praying for you. You can do this. Everything you’ve done for 15 years has prepared you for this weekend’s events. Just think of all the good you’re doing and how many more victims/survivors may surface to support the people you are helping through your blog.

    the plot thickens … the mystery deepens … intrigue is mounting … the wheels are turning … the game is afoot … the pieces are falling into place … etc.

    Praying for you, Dee … for such a time as this … for discernment. But, if the light is not green this weekend, if you get a check in the spirit, slam on the brakes.

    May the thing go extremely well, Dee.

    James 4:17: “Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”

    We’re all proud of you, Dee.

    Claudia,

    Darn…I wanted people to be gobsmacked by my devastating humor.

    Ted,

    I sure hope its not misplaced.

    May God give you wisdom, discernment and the right words when you need them, Dee

    The “Thing” I Have Been Hinting About Happens This Weekend.

    Makes me think of a scene from the 1971 biopic Evel Kneivel:
    “Something Big is going to happen tonight.”
    “What is it, Evel?”
    “Something BIG.”

    Dee you are exactly the right person for such a time as this. God has put you in a unique situation to speak truth to power in a way others can not…every word you speak will be annointed by God and understood for the truth it is. So glad I found your site and wisdom.

    may steel sprout in your soul when you need it.

    (well, actually i think you already have a tree of it, growing alongside an intuitive tree of empathy and compassion)

    elastigirl: may steel sprout in your soul when you need it.

    Generally speaking, women have alloy steel in their backbones that men do not have.

    So, Dee has gone Hollywood?

    “Moneyball” changed baseball recruiting. The film. Michael Lewis wrote the book; he says baseball people don’t read, so it took a Hollywood movie.

    Dee, let us know when your work hits the Big Screen.

    While Wartburgers continue to speculate on Dee’s new adventure, I think it likely that she has been asked to preside over a conference on Godly Cricket.

    The Third Test in Hamilton is rolling inexorably towards a crushing win for the hosts; England were dismissed for 143, New Zealand compiled 453 in their second innings with Kane Williamson hitting 156, and England require a notional 658. The tourists closed on 18-2, and their only consolation is that they can’t set a record for the heaviest Test defeat in history.

    Ava Aaronson: Dee, let us know when your work hits the Big Screen.

    Women’s basketball – at both the collegiate and professional levels – finally got the attention it needed when Caitlin Clark showed up. It just take a champion to champion a cause.

    Pastor of a 9Marks church arrested:

    “a missionary couple reported finding spy cameras in their mobile home, which the church uses as temporary housing for visiting families…According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the couple found hidden cameras inside two alarm clocks and two wall plugs that were labeled ‘bug control’ after hearing a noise coming from one of the clocks…”

    Any statement from the church’s lead pastor or elder board?

    TWW has already been on NPR, but if this is a book or a documentary, I hope it helps more people understand how deep this gulf is of abusive pastors and churches.

    The average churchgoer has no idea this is going on, how dark and deep in church systems this evil dwells. Whatever it takes to inform and warn the masses is desperately needed.
