When Jesus says, as He does often, 'He who has ears, let him hear', He means hear what you should. God exhorts the lazy to 'work harder' and the workaholic to 'take it easy', and the sluggard relaxes as the frenzied worker increases effort. The question is not, What do I agree with? The question is, What do I need to hear? Swimming Against the Current contains stories, poems, questions, and observations. Some of the many short chapters will challenge you. Others, you will exult in. You ll find some new thoughts, and some of them will stick with you. Read these diverse messages and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit urging you to spiritual growth and practical course corrections in your life.
