Where We Are Now

After finding and remediating mold twice in our Colorado home, we abandoned ship in October 2008. Because of the high levels of exposure, our entire family was affected. After months of seeing different specialists for all of the problems, we came to Arizona to begin comprehensive treatment to rid our bodies of the toxic buildup. In August 2009 we moved into a larger home, four bedrooms, south of Tucson, north of Mexico. I am doing my daily radio program/ writing from that location. Thanks for praying for us. We really feel it.

Every now and then God gives a glimpse of hope where you least expect it. I asked my daughter, Kristen, to take a picture of Tebow on the back of the couch because I wanted to tie it to the song, “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay.” Tebow singing, “Sittin’ on the Back of the Couch” seemed like a great tweet to me.

But what happened was serendipitous to say the least. Check out the picture of our pup.


Here’s the rest of the story. In our home in Colorado we had a U-shaped leather couch and Pippen would crawl on the back of one side and Frodo would be on the other. It was sort of a balancing act they did with our lives. We didn’t teach them to sleep on the back of the couch, they just loved it up there.

So when Tebow began, a couple of weeks ago, to do the same thing, it brought the memories back. Love and loss and everything in between.

Hence, the picture. It says it all. In the midst of sorrow and pain, there is joy. In your desert are flowers. When things seem darkest, there’s hope.

I don’t always see it, but sometimes the truth breaks through with fur on.

That picture says it all

Chris, I agree. We have a cat who, long before my wife and I married, simply walked through the front door and into the house, and took up residence - without knowing my wife or her other cats at all!

Our cat's name? Faith, of course.

Love it!
Chris, you are truly unique among men and and among men on radio! I appreciate the depth with which you look at life and are unafraid to talk about the deep things on radio. And the best radio voice I've ever heard ~ bar none! Don't be scared ~ I'm not a stalker or anything. :>))
