It never ceases to amaze me how God hears and answers prayers.  Several years ago, I experienced a change in my life that caused me to really evaluate my life.  It became clear to me that I was going to have to make some changes in my life.  One of the things I was praying about was whether or not to continue writing a column for a local newspaper.  I told God, if I am supposed to continue doing this, then please let me know.  Send me some sign that my writing this column is really making a difference.  Let me know that somebody is actually reading it.  Let me know that this is still one of those things that you are calling me to do.
