However, in the current situation of coronavirus I would suggest a more robust attitude is needed. God's people carry THE answer, Jesus Christ: healer, protector, refuge, and antidote to all fear. God forbid we would settle for a few comics to comfort a panicked world. <br />Rhonda Pooley - Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267933289137123263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-57254300150065981412020-03-03T14:39:47.488+10:002020-03-03T14:39:47.488+10:00I read recently in a secular publication that most...I read recently in a secular publication that most procrastination does not have its roots in laziness, but fear. I'm on a similar journey in that I start but need lots of encouragement -- and sometimes not the gentle kind -- to keep going toward the finish line. On the plus side, I am blessed to have many good people around me, so I pray for you to gain that 'team' as friends that will goad you on! <br />Thanks for sharing.Marc Z Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500188453879385199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-27909031307910666042020-03-03T09:23:11.136+10:002020-03-03T09:23:11.136+10:00But a community isolated from itself.

I have been seeking, probably in the wrong area,for such a community. <br /><br /><br />I feel like a wingless bird eager to fly but can't get lift off.<br />Years of trauma have seperated me from my pursuit of writing and illustrating, so my unfinished dreams of fulfilling books I started years ago due to the trauma, have left me with the problem of how age related problems now, of, how do I finish these books? Particularly, in the area of illustrating.<br />I would so love a partner or partners to assist me and share in the returns of such, to make the dreams reality again.<br />I asked the Lord, and He said, and showed me I need T.E.A.M together we can make it happen.<br />He reminded me of Henry Ford, he had a dream but needed others with expertise to realise this dream. He showed me Jesus, He sought out twelve men to bring about that dream. He also showed me a tree with it's roots system supporting the above ground tree.<br />I just haven't known where to ask. But since reading this blog. Wondered maybe, if I just put it out there amongst my Christian peers, I might find an answer?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022641303279296849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-35270370202022054852020-03-02T10:22:17.786+10:002020-03-02T10:22:17.786+10:00Hi Marc, I love your reminder about how creative p...Hi Marc, I love your reminder about how creative people step up with necessary encouragement in hard times. We can even match their successful attempts with what was happening in history. And as you say, our 21st century technology is such that any of us can have a go. Great thoughts thanks.
