For the past 2 days I have been internally paralyzed......   I have had very little drive, very little bounce... very little me.....    Connie Turner, one of those amazing Godly women who we have had the privilege of walking the planet with, has gone home to be with the Lord after a struggle with liver disease.   Why am I paralyzed?   Because in her passing many things have come to my attention.   Yes, there is my own mortality and the fact that I only have one short life to live before I am off to the eternal.   Yes there is the fact we must do all we can for Jesus Christ while we are still here..... but more so, there is this massive internal loss because I have realized, as much as we think we do things on our own....
