Popcorn's Pistol















My oldest daughter, while a princess in my heart, in reality is more a fiery pistol than frilly royalty. This girl is a dynamo, a firecracker, a synergistic force. Her brain functions in a rapid-fire, free-flowing, super- insightful stream. Never stopping, never pausing, ever analyzing. Her talent and potential sizzle just below the surface of her no fear take on life. Christ is grooming her for a ministry like no other. How he knows what her freight train power can do to grow His Heavenly Kingdom. I am waiting prayerfully, patiently, joyfully, peacefully, and faithfully in the wings to see what unfolds in her precious life. Join me in lifting her up to the Light who is Christ so she can find her way and rest in the joy that is her gift from Him. She can out think you, and you, and yes, you too. She is utterly resourceful and can take care of herself, and me, and the world. In a jam? Call her and she'll figure it out for you. She'll provide you with multiple options, all equally feasible. Need to get somewhere? Give her your quadrants and she'll draft you a map, from all four directions. She can survive many manifestations of wilderness... mental wastelands like betrayal, loneliness, sadness, and fear. Her resilience is astounding! I count myself blessed to have guided her when she was young and as a lucky spectator of a brilliant soul finding solid ground.
