Hello friends. In this week’s newsletter I’d like to bring to attention the Christian band, Casting Crowns. 👑 I really enjoy their songs and lyrics but I didn’t know anything about them. When I came across their documentary on Netflix, I saw it. I was surprised that the lead singer and band members came from good Christian families. I just thought with such depth in their lyrics and voices, that they came from painful backgrounds – kind of like Jelly Roll. 

Hello friends. I hope you are well. In this week’s newsletter I am led to share resources with you about making your marriage stronger. If you are single, it’s wise to learn skills and facts now, before marriage. If you are divorced, studies show that the probability of another divorce is higher. So please be prepared and learn how to beat your higher odds before your next marriage.

Hello friends. There are many people that I’ve been notified recently who are battling severe illnesses or late stage cancers. I’ve listened to many, many successful testimonies of ‘healing and miracles’ and thought a lot about this topic in the last 15 years – and my conclusion is that in general, a believer’s faith and their support team’s faiths are very important. Why? Because our words are very powerful and influential in the spiritual world. I don’t know fully the hows or the whys; I just know that our words have the power of life or death as the Bible teaches. Therefore, when in doubt and distress, it is best to pause and be quiet. And let those in your faith team who have more faith speak and pray for your behalf. Please read this:

Hello friends. I hope and pray that you are doing well. This week I was thinking about the power of a testimony. In the last 15 years I’ve listened and read so many testimonies! Their stories helped me to navigate through difficult situations and relationships. Bible studies helped tremendously too but there’s something about testimonies that show you how to recognize and defeat the enemy (aka demons) orchestrating behind it all. That’s why it is so important to be in a church community as long as we live life on earth, and pray for others and to receive prayers for ourselves. Spiritual battles need prayers and good strategies too.
