Editor's Letter Thanksgiving! This is my favorite time of year as it marks the start of the Holiday Season. I have to say that even though this is an exciting time of the year, I am also saddened by some of the changes in our country. I recently heard that there is an entire county in another state that approved to take any religious holiday words off the school calendar. This means that the kids get to still celebrate their Christmas with the much anticipated long winter break but can not call it Christmas break any longer. This will also be true for Easter and Spring Break. I just pray and would like to encourage all of you to not walk the path that everyone else does, walk the narrow path, the one less taken. Stand up for our God and keep Christ in Christmas.

This issue is very close to my heart as our ministry has helped the homeless many times over the past several years. We actually did the photoshoot for the homeless issue with models that were not homeless. Yes they look a little dirty, yes they might not be this dirty in real life, yes all homeless do not live this type of lifestyle but the fact remains....they are still homeless. I know that homeless individuals and those less fortunate have real jobs, they have families, they go to school and you may never even know they are homeless.

We are taught through life that this is the time to give back. We should give back all year but this is the time that people traditionally pour out love to others in need. If you don’t normally, I encourage you to and see how rewarded you feel. You can give back to your church to feed the homeless, take coats to the local shelters or lend an ear to someone who wants to talk.

God Bless You Kymberly Soule’

Thanksgiving with Kelly & Darwin..

When you meet Darwin Singleton and Kelly Jones from Local 15 Today, you can’t help but instantly feel a connection to them. Kelly and Darwin are co-anchors of Local 15 Today, Not only are they making a difference in the community, they are having fun at it! If you have seen Local 15 Today you will know how fun and crazy these two are! They hit the streets all the time with selfies and videos that bring the community to you in an entertaining way to say the least. Exalte’ Magazine had the pleasure of spending the day with them as we prepared an early Thanksgiving Meal for two families in need, with the help of Chef Dave of Legacy Bar & Grill. You could feel their friendship from across the room as they dove their hands into the stuffing! Not afraid to get their hands dirty as well as sample the goods while Chef Dave wasn’t looking. The meal that was prepared was AMAZING! Turkey, stuffing, casseroles and bread pudding were all donated by Legacy Bar & Grill.

Thanksgiving, the start of the season and the time when we reflect on our year, remember past times and create new memories. Kelly and Darwin are not different. When asked what Thanksgiving means to her, Kelly has this to say. “I am thankful for having my two children, health, happiness and to see a new day, each day. One of my favorite memories growing up is all the food that my Mom would prepare for our Thanksgiving meal. She would make sure we had all our delicious favorites. Our Grandparents would be at the house and because I am from Detroit, we would watch the Thanksgiving day football game. The Detroit Lions play every single year and between that tradition and watching the downtown parade, my Thanksgiving memories were always special. Now that I have moved here to Mobile, I am very thankful to be part of a team that cares so much about the community, one that gives back throughout the year and listens to the community concerns. Thanksgiving comes in many different forms and variations and I am thankful for my TV family.

Sitting next to Darwin everyday, we can’t stop laughing and enjoying. We reminisce about how the business is, and how we can continue to better the community around us, which includes ourselves.”

As we spoke with Darwin he was excited about his new career with co-anchor Kelly. “You build bonds at work and relationships that are more like families. You rely on each other, to the point that we almost can read each others minds. I have to anticipate when she is ready to say something, and she always anticipates me wanting to say something. We really mesh well.” As far as Thanksgiving memories he mentions that he is from Kentucky and that there were a lot less fortunate families around him when he was growing up. ”I remember my grandmother saying to me that there were times that if my father hadnt’ shot a squirrel, the family wouldnt have eaten that night. When you are raised in that environment the pride part isnt that important, the giving part you really associate with. I watched my family help others my entire life and when I have an opportunity I try to help. We all get busy and forget but the interesting thing about this time of the year is that it is built into our thinking. We should be giving back at this time, so we do. There are so many good causes out there, some that don’t require money but just an ear to listen.”

Darwin says one way which WPMI gives back is a program that they have this time of year called Making Spirits Bright. “We team with different advertisers and different charities to find out what the charity really needs. We have about 15 different charities and sponsors that participate each year. We have several sponsors that come back every year to be a part of the program because it is so rewarding to give back and make a difference.”

One thing is for sure, Kelly and Darwin are two genuine people who truly believe in the community and we are looking forward the future watching them in their crazy selfies and of course the on Local 15 Today!

Communication, Money and Sex!

by Adrienne Cooley

Everybody knows it. The three biggies in marriage are Communication, Money, and Sex. There are lots of people who will read books or articles about getting communication or money right in their relationships. But when we think of things people read about sex, it seems like it is usually inappropriate type things. This ought not be the case. Sex 101: It's a good thing, not a bad thing.

Here's the deal... God invented sex so if you didn't serve Him before, you oughta serve Him now, even if just for that reason. Just sayin'!!

Communication

Seriously, for a marriage to be enjoyed to the maximum potential, we need to be able to discuss anything. As some say, "The customer service counter in your relationship should always be open for the other to bring a complaint or a return." Of course learning simple things like that will help your communication. Just also remember that the nicer you are as you approach that customer service counter, the more likely you will be greeted with favor.

Money

We also need to deal wisely with our finances and have open communication about it. Have you noticed that it doesn't go so well, when you keep things from each other or make big purchases without checking with each other. It especially causes strain when there is never enough, when one is careless, yet the other does without. Before long, there is resentment, anger, and accusations flying.

What if we lived within our means, got a plan and tithed? Those 3 things would do wonders for your financial situation.

Sex Finally....let's talk about sex, Baby! Now that song is going to ring in my head. Lovely! So, yes, a preacher's wife is about to school you on this subject. It's really about just pure raw pleasure, intimacy, and of course obeying scripture and reproducing. So let me ask you a question. Do you enjoy even being vulnerable with someone in conversation if you are mad at each other? No! You go into protection mode. If you don't trust someone, are you going to give them access to your bank account?

Absolutely not. So when it comes to sex, the reason it just works best in the confines of marriage and the reason you will find a great sex life in those with healthy marriages, is because there is trust in all areas of life, including finances and open communication about everything. You can have the steamy fun part of sex with anyone I suppose, well, if they are good at it. But the most fun and fulfilling sex is the kind where there is real trust, open communication, and massive amounts of intimacy. When you have that and a serving attitude, where it is not all about you but instead about your mate, that's when it is the best! It truly is better to give than receive, and if you haven't experienced that in the context of intimacy in marriage, you're not doing it right. And I might add, you are really missing out. You can go through the motions but so can dogs. If this strikes a chord within you, reach out for help and start enjoying your marriage to the fullest.

We are married and loving it and you can be, too! It's "all that and more" when you do it God's way. He should know. He invented it.

Life has a way of chipping away at our marriages: jobs and job related travel, in-laws, church activities, activities with the kids, conflict and misunderstandings. Most of us run at the speed of light, wake up one day and realize, "Huh. I don’t feel very close to my spouse anymore." The truth is that it happens to the best of us.

Here are a few simple methods I have learned throughout the years to revive romance in a stale marriage.

Start Dating Again Go out at least once a week. It doesn't have to be an expensive date – just something simple.

A brown bag dinner in the park, a walk around the lake, a cup of cappuccino at a coffee shop or simply putting the kids to bed early and just talking will often do the trick. Or, revisit the things that you did when you were dating, like going to a movie, the theatre or a nice relaxing dinner for two.

After being "pulled apart" by all the pressures of modern life, it is imperative to reconnect each week. If you don't, you won't feel close.

Make Yourself Attractive Here's the irony: If you make yourself more attractive, your spouse will often become more attractive to you.

Quite often, changes that you make in your appearance can precipitate changes in your spouse just as positive actions often breed positive reactions.

Other suggestions: Go to the gym together, Walk with your spouse three to five times a week, Buy new clothes, and throw out those ugly sleep shirts/pajamas, Change habits, Shave the beard (men only), or change your hairstyle, Get new eye glasses, or try contacts.

Make a List Determine what it is that makes you feel attracted to someone. What attracted you to your partner in the first place? What are the things that you find attractive that you would like to see in your spouse?

What gets your attention?

Communicate Your Desires to Your Spouse Do so in non-threatening, non-judgmental ways.

For example, you could say, "Honey, let's make some changes. We are both in a rut. We've changed over the years and lost some of the spark in our marriage. Let's change how we treat each other. Let's call each other during the day at work. Let's change how we look. Let's walk together each evening."

Avoid using "you" statements. Use "I feel" or "I need" instead.

Try writing a letter as an alternative to face to face communication, especially if you feel they will react negatively.

Do Your Research Attraction doesn't just occur in a marriage. It is something that must be worked at. Often the process of bringing attraction back begins with education and basic communication. Read books and research articles on the Web that discuss reviving romance and attraction.

Do Good Things – Daily Doing goods things doesn't necessarily require spending a lot of money. Simple things, like picking up yodirty underwear, giving a free back rub, preparing dinner, writing an appreciative note, hand picking flowers or taking on a chore that your partner normally does, build intimacy and closeness in your marriage like nothing else.

Attraction often follows on the heels of serving each other like you did in the early years of your relationship.

Often it's the little things that count – not the big ones.

Scripture teaches that marriage is ordained by God and part of His original design for us as well as a foreshadowing of our eternal relationship with Him. Focus on the Family is primarily a donor-funded ministry.

The Other Side o

of Homelessness‌

by Audra Warren

Heather Horne Photograhpy Shot on Location Downtown Mobile, AL Hair - 3 G Up Do Artist - Love Make-up

How many times have you been sitting at a red-light somewhere in town, more than likely in a time crunch, only to look over and see a man on the side of the road holding up a cardboard sign that reads, ”Homeless, will work for food”?

When someone says the word homeless, is this the mental picture that flashes before you …A scruffy, dirty faced man, wearing nothing but old torn clothes and a frown? And if so, when you see this person on the side of the road, what do you do? What do you think? Do you immediately dig out a few dollars and some loose change to hand out in a hurry?

Do you drive-thru the nearest fast food restaurant and order a value meal to bring back? Or, do you fiddle with something in your car trying hard not to acknowledge the sad eyes glaring at you from the street? No matter the direction you choose to go, do you drive away like many of us and wonder, how on Earth did this person’s life come to this?

Here’s what I can tell you for sure…

A person can become homeless for a variety of different reasons. Everyone has a story and no two stories are exactly alike. And it shouldn’t be assumed that just because a person has good health, a great job, a nice car, and a big fancy house today means that they are exempt from being homeless tomorrow. For a moment let’s just pretend that each of us has a great job, good health, a working vehicle, and a place to live. Every person starts from somewhere. How did you get where you are today? I can guarantee that it wasn’t without a little help here and there. Did your parents pay for the degree that got you hired for your high paying job? Did their good credit help to co-sign for your first vehicle?

Did you inherit money from a family member? Maybe you owe thousands in student loans, but your parents allowed you to live rent-free while going to school or working a job that helped you to save. Maybe you worked two and three jobs to pay for a crappy apartment below the noisiest people ever to walk the streets of lower Alabama. Maybe you made minimum wage and lived with annoying roommates, all while taking night classes at a local community college for years. Maybe you joined the military after graduation and then went on to finish college debt free. Maybe your parents owned their own successful business and you started working for them straight out of high school, making more than you ever would doing anything else. Or maybe this is all foreign to you because not a single one of these scenarios describe your life. Regardless, if any of these descriptions fit you or not, do you have good health and/or good people to turn to if things went south?

If you had no parents, family, or loved ones to turn to during life’s struggles… where would you be? What would you do? Where would you go? If you lost your job, your home, your car, and are left with ruined credit do you a have plan?

Most of us are pretty fortunate that we have someone who would willingly take us in, and provide food and shelter if we needed help to get back on our feet. But what about the people who have no one, who are stricken with illness and no way to work, who have no income or no resources to take the steps to work again. What about the people who have outspent their time in shelter and are still no further to being on the other side? How does one get to that point?

And more importantly what can we do to help?

I’ve had the privilege to talk with a few different individuals who have been homeless as well as a few that are still homeless. The first person I came in contact with was a woman named Ruby. Thirty-two years ago Ruby, the mother of two became homeless after battling an abusive relationship. Her income and home were all dependent upon her husband. Ruby’s biggest problem was qualifying for help from the government, based on her husband’s income since she was not yet divorced. With much time, patience, and perseverance she was able to get the help she needed. Doors were opened one by one and many years later, today Ruby is helping others to fight homelessness. She is the President of Common Touch Inc., a homebuyer’s assistance program designed to help those who are credit challenged and lack the knowledge of Kingdom Stewardship.

There are a variety of local services available to the homeless. I recently visited First Baptist of Tillman’s Corner Community Missions on Calhoun Street in Mobile. Community Missions is a nonprofit organization that provides food to people without any income twice a week as well as laundry washing and showers once a week. Other assistance is also available when certain requirements are met. During my visit with Community Missions I was given the opportunity to sit down with a few different types of homeless individuals. One of the people I spoke with was a 53 year old man by the name of Thomas. Thomas has grown kids, but lost his job and house two years ago. He has been living in a tent for the past two years, working odds and ends jobs with very little pay, and coming to community missions twice a week for food, laundry, and showers. He is not what most people would have expected to see when introduced to a homeless man of two years. He was clean, bright-eyed, and smiling from ear to ear. Thomas believes that it is faith in the Lord that has kept him alive, well, and still pushing forward through the hard times. He believes that without God he would be dead. He also believes that this is all a part of his divine plan for his life to help other people in the future.

Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

After speaking with Traci Blackmon of Community Missions she says, they see what they believe to be two different types of homeless on a weekly basis; Chronic Homeless and Temporary Homeless. She considers someone to be Chronic if they are simply happy and content to be in their situation with no plans or signs of improvement or change. On the other hand, she considers a person to be temporary if they have taken active steps to change and improve their life and situation. When you come in contact with someone who is homeless be willing to take the time to hear their story and do something to help right away. I recently read that your time is the most precious thing you can give of yourself; for you are giving something away that you can no longer get back. Know that there is a recovery period for homelessness and be aware of the different stages. Some stages may take longer than expected.

When I asked Mrs. Ruby what advice she could give another person who is homeless and starting to lose their faith she said, “In your inner most being please sit and be quiet. In the value of sitting quiet you can hear. The script for your new life is in the quiet. The quickest way out of a trial is to stop and listen. Get your instructions and then go because that stuff that you’re doing, running around trying to fix it, will cause you to miss something. If you don’t go somewhere and get quiet you are going to stay in the storm a lot longer than you have to be.”

Psalms 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God;” Matthew 6:31-33, “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.”

Matthew 7:1-2, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

While at Community Missions I met forty-one year old Anna who is married with five children. She lost her job, the family has been unable to make ends meet, and their home was foreclosed on. Anna and her family moved in with her brother for a while, but felt they had outstayed their welcome. Not wanting to split their family up in various shelters, they are now living in the Beverly Motel. She heard of Community Missions through another homeless family at the motel. I sat down with Anna to ask a few questions.

AW: What could someone say or do to help you or someone in your situation who does not know what to do?

Anna: Everybody says first opinions are lasting impressions, but I don’t believe that anymore. I believe in getting to know someone because not everyone has the best day on a first impression. Don’t judge a book by its cover. I am willing to work hard to get out of my situation. Befriend a homeless person and treat them how you would want to be treated. Take the time to listen to someone’s story and get to know them for who they are today…not by their past. Just give someone a chance.

AW: What would you tell people not to say or do to someone in this situation if they want to help?

Anna: Just don’t make them feel like they are being judged. Do not make them feel like you are above them in any way. Homeless people need to know that they are loved and cared for too. Homelessness and depression go hand in hand and can be a deadly thing. People want to give up during these times and they need to know that they matter to somebody. Take the opportunity to lift someone up and encourage them.

Being homeless has been a humbling experience for me….and very character building. I use to think oh look at that person, but not anymore. Let me tell you that you never know when that could very well be you.

A Support Group Can… • • • •

Help the individual to feel empowered and not so alone Give a planned out resolve to help with their issues Offer one on one counseling Provide a bonding experience through group conversation and exercise

Ruby, with The Common Touch Inc. got me in touch with a veteran who was recently homeless. Reggie Davis, 36, is married with two teenagers ages 15 & 13. He and his family moved back to Mobile from Alaska after serving in the Army for 13 years. Upon moving home in January he and his wife were both unemployed and had to live with family.

His wife now has a job and they are able to rent a place to live, but Reggie is still unemployed. Here is how our interview went: AW: What have you learned or experienced from this situation that you would like to share with other people who may want to help?

Reggie: I believe that more jobs need to be created. I am a few classes away from a Master’s Degree, but that does not help me. The jobs that are available require experience and unless a person is given a chance they are unable to build that experience. If someone would be willing to properly train and educate me in a new field I would be a great asset to any employer.

AW: What would you like to tell others who are in a situation similar to yours?

Reggie: Once my wife got a job we no longer qualified for most of the services available, but there are some good organizations out there willing to help. Be patient with the organizations that are trying to help you. The help is a process and it will not always be available as quickly as you would like.

AW: What advice could you give to some organizations trying to help?

Reggie: I believe that some of the non-profit organizations and other programs designed to help veterans should hire veterans who can relate to what the individual is experiencing. The organization that we were helped through had two veterans working in a staff of 50. That means that there are 48 people working there that have no idea what it is like to be a veteran or to be in this situation. My recommendation for these programs that are established to help a certain demographic of people is that a percentage of the staff hired be people who have been in that situation and have the compassion for who they are serving.

Know the Types of Homelessness

I am homeless because of…

• Physical abuse • Lack of education and/or job training • A family emergency; illness, death • Lack of support • A loss of job, foreclosure, car, and possibly poor credit • An untreated mental illness or disability The Do’s and Don’ts of Helping the Homeless…

• Do not assume the stereotype • Do not pity • Do not make them feel like they are being controlled by your assistance • Do not treat a homeless person like they are homeless • Do treat them naturally…just like any other person • Do ask – What can I do to help you “Today”?

• Do explain when and what you can do immediately • Do be completely honest about what you are unable to do • Do be willing to listen and pray with them if you are a believer • Do reach out to local shelters and other services to help direct them to the proper place • Do find out about other assistance available and encourage them to join a local group that offers prayer, connection, and a dedicated support system • Do give a small gift if you are able • Do wait, be patient, and allow someone the time they need to feel comfortable opening up to you
