Wisdom From Fellow-Laborer Chris Coltran ...
Thursday, July 23, 2009
As For Me And My Family ...
.. we will be drinking our health-enabling ionized water for our "wonderfully made" [Psalms 139:14] bodies for the rest of our lives while living in this "world of the dying"; until that divinely appointed day for each of us when we will be joining our Lord and the other saints in the "kingdom of the eternal living".
Even the most distant dream can be realized ...
In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
"We told them so."
"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."
"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."
Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.
It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.
He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.
Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realized with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.

So What Are You Planting?
But let's always be watchful over what we are planting ...
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." Philippians 4:8
When HE Calls, HE Also Provides ...
As for me, I know without any doubt that my Lord called me nearly 3 years ago to my work, my incredible "ministry-business" blessing from above. And I know that He not only called me to this undertaking, but that He has also given me every "GIFT" I have ever needed so far to succeed ...
My prayer for you ... "May you experience His gracious blessings, one after another. " ~ John1:16 (artwork by my gifted "love of my life" Cathi)
My "WHY" ~ So I'm anchored without a "Plan B" backup
My Anointing ~ For Him arranging for my friend Jim to pray over me
My Passion ~ My fuel to press forward day by day in my work pursuit
My Vision ~ So I do not perish but instead press forward toward the prize
My Plans ~ Otherwise, failure to plan would be planning to fail
My Conviction ~ That "I know that I know" so I can weather the coming storms
My Understanding ~ So I can in return teach others
My Work Ethic ~ So I do my part faithfully and honestly
My Conduct ~ So that I'm pleasing to Him
My Talents ~ So I can give back what has been given to me
My Tools ~ So that I'm properly equipped to be about doing
My Experiences ~ Simply an amazing journey so far
My Stories ~ Incredible artifacts from my journey
My Patience ~ So I can truly appreciate this journey and His blessings
My Perseverance ~ So I can stay the course, never giving in to giving up
My Encouragement ~ From my sacred memories and other's kindness
My Compassion ~ So I desire to freely give to others
My Divine Appointments ~ So exciting to see them unfold
My Humility ~ So I can learn from Him and from others
My Harvest ~ He is best at orchestrating my success
My Gratitude ~ Soooo! thankful for His awesome blessings
My Joy ~ Never dreamed before how work could be so "cool"Please do not misunderstand what I saying. On my own, I'm not humble, compassionate, talented, etc. but though HIM, "nothing is impossible for God." [Luke 1:37] And it is not always going to be "blue skies and clear sailing". So let's stay balanced in our hopes & thoughts as best expressed by Eugene Peterson: "Real faith cannot be reduced to spiritual bromides and merchandised in success stories. It is refined in the fires and storms of our pain and struggles.” Therefore, let's always stay mindful to "consider it joy whenever we face such trials." [James 1:2]

"If You've Never Failed, You've Never Lived"

I was tired of being sick and tired and broke!... [by Muriel]
My husband Bruce and I, having married in our mid forties in 1992, decided it was a wise option to adopt our children to build our family. We traveled to China to bring back a girl in 1997 and then a boy in 2001, each three year old toddlers. We were both healthy 50 something year olds then. Of course, most of our family and friends thought we were everything but wise for doing that at our age.
We learned early in our married life that the corporate business world isn’t a friendly place for a middle aged man; the best work Bruce has found for his master’s degree was $24k plus benefits as a curriculum counselor for a local university and he was laid off after two years. Bruce prefers working for himself anyway, so he has made his living teaching adult education courses– team building workshops, CPR/First aid, and safety training for most of our married life. He is doing what he loves. I retired as an art illustrator after thirty-one years to stay home with our kids. I picked up my pencils and paints for portrait work in 2005 after Jenna and Winn were both in school full time. Building our businesses has been rewarding but money always is in short supply. We are a rather typical American family, complete with an equity line second mortgage on the house and credit card debt that never seems to go away.
We have budget guilt for taking four days off for a short family trip to Arkansas. I buy most of our clothes at SA Limited (Salvation Army), our food comes from Aldi’s. As Dave Ramsey would say, it has been rice and beans, and beans and rice for several years so we can do a few major things like keeping the children in a very economically priced private school. God has been very good to us though, and he is showing us His wonderful plan for us. I admit my weakness, however, even considerable worry, as we have seen our resources eaten away by the stock market plunge in 2001, budget short falls, and high prices at the pump.
Fifteen years out from our wedding day, we are 60years old, facing college expenses for Jenna and Winn in the next five to ten years, a sizable mortgage left on a 30 year note for our modest house, and a need to create some sort of cushion so that Jenna and Winn won’t rue the day they were adopted by a couple of brain dead middle-aged yuppies. All to be done within the next ten to fifteen year span of time. We will be 75.
My health - a huge pain in the back!
Over the last 5 years my health has slipped. I have developed arthritis in my hands and lower back. Household chores became torturous sharp pains grabbed my lower right side. The outside of my left leg would tingle. I was bushed by 7pm every night. For the last solid year I have been taking 1200mgs ibuprofen and 1000mgTylenol split between morning and evening doses to manage the pain. Our family doctor put me on Prilosec to protect my stomach. If I dared miss my morning dose, by 10am or noon, at the latest, the spasms would force me to take it, and it would take the rest of the day to stabilize the pain.
In 2006, a hospital stay for a strep infection and foot surgery turned up some heart irregularities. I was put on three drugs to correct a low pumping action and an enlarged ventricle. In the past 5 years I went from taking no drugs to six.
My health was going downhill and no way in sight to change direction. What was life going to be like for my whole family in ten years? A prayer was on my lips continually as I wondered how we were going to make it through our remaining years and not be in want or able to enjoy our life. The American way was not offering optimistic answers, and our future was bleak and not a pretty thing to contemplate. This was not the sort of life I had expected. My faith was wavering, I was losing grip on my hope.
Jim and Lou, the Water Men!
I learned about their water from a reading club friend. After she mentioned it a couple of months running, I decided to try the water. I drove 20 miles to her house for the first sample and then called Jim to arrange for more water to be delivered to my home. After 12 days, I decided to try going without the pain meds. I went a whole week without them! The grabbing pains were gone and the general aching across my back was improving and manageable without the pills. I was gaining stamina and energy. A bad case of hang nails and small cuts on my fingers had healed up. I used the disinfectant water to clear up athlete’s foot. I even lost 15 pounds of ugly fat. I was amazed that simply drinking water could melt away 5 years of increasing back pain and annoying problems in less than two weeks!
I could think more clearly; I wasn’t anxious anymore; I was sleeping better at night. I’m not sure I can credit the actual water alone, though. It was more that for the first time, I saw hope and had a peace that everything was going to be alright. Here was a way to change direction and improve my life. I could put this health car in reverse.
Jim brought me water from Kansas, over 30 miles away one-way, for three months before Bruce & I decided to buy our own machine. Jim didn’t pressure me to buy, but as he shared the water with me, he asked me how I was feeling and if I noticed any benefits. Jim told me what he had learned about acidosis and what he was doing for himself to improve his health even more, i.e. eating more alkaline foods, fresh fruits and vegetables.
I was tough to convince – not because my physical health hadn’t been helped by the water or didn’t believe the stories of improved health other people were telling, but because I didn’t see how we could afford such an expense. And when Jim & Lou told us how our family financial health could also benefit by sharing our water with others, this was also difficult at first for me to visualize. Bruce is a teacher. I am an artist. It is important to us to do what we love most. We consider our businesses more of a ministry than a mere means of earning a living.
Yet we were open, though, to divine direction to do whatever is needed to help others as well as ourselves. This is an unexpected, new path for us, but it allows us to speak health, hope, happiness, and prosperity to our family, friends, and strangers alike. Surprisingly, it has become another passion for us, telling everyone we know that God is bringing all of us help to regain our physical, financial, and spiritual health. This water ministry-business is the first - and the most important - of many things we have learned recently which we are passing along.
I could finally see that a wonderful opportunity had been placed in my lap. For me, it is God’s answer to my prayer in such a marvelous way, and far beyond what I would have ever dreamed. From the moment I started feeling the benefits of drinking the water I began thinking of so many others the water would help. It is a pleasure to share a message of compassion with this water. It is a pleasure to give help and hope to my family and friends, and even strangers who have been struggling the same as I had.

Yes, A Blessed "Water Guy" I Am Indeed ...
About 6 months into my water ministry/business, I received this encouraging email from my pastor ...
Hi Lou,
I felt prompted to do a little word study this morning concerning the word "refreshes" from Proverbs 11:24-25.[Footnote: Generosity is a kingdom principle.. give and it will be given to you. If you have a benevolent heart you will want to bless people with what the Lord has blessed you with. Because after all, as Henry Ford once said "a business, that's just about making money, is a poor business."]
"One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered." (v24-25). (NIV)
This Hebrew word literally means to bless someone with fresh water; to satisfy with water; to cause someone to abundantly drink. One Scholar said the metaphor in this verse describes "an artesian well, pumping an endless supply of water into the gardens of others while continually having more than enough for its own."
I like the way the English Standard translates this text: "Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered."
In light of the new ministry God has given you where you "bless" others with water; I thought the above was cool!
So as you bless others with your water, "may our Lord continually bless you with more than enough for your own" Romans 15:4,
Pastor John

Prospecting For Divine Appointments ...
Early on in my new "water business", I decided that one of the primary ways I would go about prospecting could not be found in the Sales 101 Handbook. So I began daily asking my Lord for His divine appointments. After all, He alone would know who was crying out to Him for His blessings; whether it be for restoration of their physical or financial health. And of course He alone would be able to "connect the dots", bringing me and my water to such a person in need. Plus by Him doing so, I would be able to act bodly in faith; knowing that His favor went before me; excited about seeing His blessings unfold; and firmly confident in knowing that my water business is not foremost about selling, but about watching and caring!
As I write this, I currently find myself in the midst of such a divine appointment as I have strongly sensed His guidance and favor these past few weeks. But if you don't mind, I will let this appointment fully play itself out before telling you more about it. However for now, I want to share with you an amazing divine appointment that happened for Stephanie, Matt and myself Nov. 2007 through Feb. 2008; as told in Stephanie's own words ....

My name is Stephanie, and these are my beautiful daughters Miracle and Bethany. Both my girls were diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4. Miracle also had been diagnosed with Aspergers (AS...a high form of Autism), it pained me to medicate my children, and they were always drugged out and tired. After drinking ionized alkalkine water for 2 months, they no longer take ANY form of mind altering drugs. It is the richest blessing ever to see the sparkle in their beautiful eyes, to have their appetites restored, and bounding with good energy.
As for me...my testimony could take pages...hahaha! In 1989, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma stage 3B, very advanced. They gave me 3 to 6 weeks to live. I underwent chemo and radical radiation; nothing was working so I had a bone-marrow transplant. After the transplant I was on daily Interferon injections for a year...in a word I was absolutely MISERABLE! Since all this, I have been very unhealthy, both physically and emotionally, very poor immune system. 3 years ago they took part of my right lung, and just in Nov. of 2007, they had found 5 tumors in my left breast. I opted for no more medical treatments. I was just so tired of being sick, that I even welcomed death. I prayed that GOD would open doors and show me ways to treat this naturally...HIS way! No more surgeries, no more drugs. Through my very dear friend and chiropractor Matt, he led me to Lou, who in turn faithfully supplied me with fresh ionized water. Through total dedication to drinking this water, faith-filled prayer, and eating healthy...I am totally cancer free - in just 2 months since diagnosis! 4 out of the 5 tumors are totally the gone, the remaining tumor is not only smaller but has recently been pronounced as benign by my doctors!
I have also learned that there could be side effects when drinking this water as I also no longer have Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), Nor do I no longer need upper spinal surgery which my doctor had prescribed, nor do they have to remove the previously enlarged lymph-nodes in my neck. I praise God everyday for this amazing miracle water!!!
Blessings....Stephanie

It's All About The Little Things ...
He who is faithful in the little things is faithful in much. Luke 16:11
During these past 3 years while pursuing my water business/ministry, I have learned that all of us are called to faithfulness within our pursuit of work; striving to achieve excellence in all the little things we do as we work. And by our disciplined faithfulness to excellently carry out our tasks at hand, we are honoring our Giver. And from our faithfulness, His gifts of success follows. Not just success measured in dollars, but also in our overall well-being, possessing a contented and joyful heart. After all, at the end of every day, what more could anyone ask for?
So stay focused on executing the little things the right way with integrity, always with true caring and compassion for others. And be sure to stay active, planting new seeds of "hope" and nurturing your prospective opportunities. But I encourage you to leave the harvesting up to our Lord, for He alone knows the exact "if and when" for such things. And His harvests alone are true blessings from above! So resist the ever constant temptation you encounter to take harvesting matters into your own hands, just like the world unrelently implores you to do.

Bottom line, enjoy your work assignments, but trust Him with the results so you can enjoy true success in your calling and honor Him by doing so with true worship. For by being faithful in the little things, our obedience to His calling is the utmost expression of His grace poured out upon us.
