Blessing

MountHermon 2

Hi.  I’m James Harvey.  I’m 63 years old and live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio called Worthington.  There’s no real reason you should know me, unless you take my car payments down at the bank or perhaps were at my recent early retirement party at the local university, where I worked for 23 years.

But what I’m about to share with you could change all that.  It certainly changed my life.  And I think it can change yours.

More on that in a minute.  First, let me give you a little of my “before” picture.  It was only a couple of years ago, yet it seems like a lifetime.  And my life was a mess.

  • I was struggling to make ends meet financially.  I would forget to pay bills when I had some money, or remember to pay them when I didn’t have enough.
  • I found myself more and more isolated from friends and family.  I did my duty when it came to get-togethers or holidays.  But there wasn’t much joy in it.
  • I was restless and bored at work.  There was a time I loved my job, but I reached a point where I was desperate for something new.
  • I started having health problems.  I’ve always been a pretty healthy guy, but I started getting repeated episodes of bronchitis.  My energy level dropped to “turtle-level.” I just assumed it was the natural result of growing older.  Boy, was I wrong.
  • People started asking me if I was depressed.  I didn’t seem like myself, they said.  My answer was always the same:  “I’m fine!”  But in my heart I knew I wasn’t.

Can you relate to any of that?  I was “that guy” – the one who felt like he was pushing a boulder up a mountain.  Only it felt as though somebody was on the other side, pushing back.

That’s when I rediscovered an ancient secret.  [click to continue…]
