The Crazy Lady – by Ken Ebright
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can fight against the devil’s evil tricks. Our fight is not against people on earth but against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world." Ephesians 6:11-12 (NCV)

It can be easy to let my troubles get in the way of my ministry. I’ve been struggling lately, and Satan likes to use these problems to turn my attention to other things when I'm reading the Bible, distracting me from God's Word. Some days I hurt so much that I find it difficult to hand out tracts.
