Do you consider yourself…normal?

Most of us laugh when we think about it. I mean – what is normal?

We’ve all got a mental picture.
But it’s usually someone else’s life or family – the one’s who seem to have it altogether.

But why squeeze your picture into their frame? Listen, it won’t fit. Because God has special plans just for you.

But, you’ve got to honestly search…
Ask.
Seek.
And knock.

It will be open to you.

Listen, “normal” is a fickle thing.
But God…is, was, and always will be.

You’re not normal. You’re special.
And I can picture you…Turning It Around.

It was such a beautiful day…

I picture her in faded blue jeans and an old red T-shirt – sleeves rolled up – tending the garden she and her husband planted. And after 20 plus years of marriage, their fire still burns. Love runs deep.

I see her in quiet meditation at dawn by the fish pond. Then the bustle and craziness of home schooling 5 kids – and loving every minute of it.

There’s a church missions meeting to plan, a call to an old friend feeling down, dance recital costumes to sew… And it was such a beautiful day.
Much too nice to be laying her to rest.

The wise King Solomon said time and circumstance happen to us all. He tried to explain it, but couldn’t. No one can.

Hold on to hope. And set your hope on Heaven. That’s God’s plan to Turn It Around.

If your family and friends do not make the resurrection it will not be God's fault or mine. We do everything we can to help. When the moment comes planes and cars will not crash. A warning shot has been fired pay attention.

The author Arthur Cola when he was a child had as a hero a dead Renaissance artist. Michelangelo, the genius who created the Creation painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, sculpted the inspiring Pieta of St. Peters in Rome and Moses as well, would inspire him to write a novel blending faith, history,legend and adventure into a tale which is thrilling and inspiring.
