Comments by others:
  • That really spoke to me, as at times I've received the silence that feels like God has deserted me. Almost like there's a glass ceiling above and nothing gets through. I like how you said "When the test starts there is silence.' That put things into perspective for me and made it easier to understand. Thanks Pastor Dion.

  • My husband fell and broke his neck and back and he died as a result of those injuries January 14, 2013. One year later I found your website and I don't start my day without reading your post first. Today your post is helping a woman I used to work with, her husband was murdered six weeks ago. It was your post that kept me close to Christ even though I'm a practicing Catholic. Your prayer today is essential since yesterday she said she would never do it; but she wish that she would just die. On behalf of both of these widows, God bless you for your posts that offer hope, inspiration and wisdom. It helps to get us out of bed and keep us going.

  • I want you to know how much these emails have helped me since I've started reviving them. Thank you for your great work.
