Comments by others:
  • Hi Dion, Once again you bless with your amazing ability to state the most profound truths with absolute simplicity whilst not losing anything of the import. "Make GOD laugh" is a classic example. Thank you for this inspiration. Blessings.

  • Every morning when i wake up the first thing i do is pray and then read your daily word of hope and your article always reveals to me the exact thing i am encountering. The Lord truly speaks through your ministries. Your are blessed and i thank the Lord for your ministry as i can't always go to church because of my job but i have the assurance that he will speak to me and teach me through you. God bless you Pastor Todd.

  • Dion, I laughed AND loved your writing today! I really enjoy how you show how real God is in our everyday lives. He loves us, has a sense of humor and works things out for our good even when it does not make sense to us. Thank you for sharing God and his word in a very "real world" way!
