Chick-fil-A. Most of it is “[We are] based on bibgenerated by the #fake- lical principles, asking news establishment that God and pleading with wants nothing more than God to give us wisdom to demonize an organi- on decisions we make about people and the programs and partnerships we have. And He has blessed us.” Those were the words of Chick-fil-A’s CEO, Dan Cathy, to the Baptist Press back in 2012 as he confirmed his biblical belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. Days later, a disgruntled activist violently took out his disagreement with Chick-fil-A by trying to kill as many people as possible inside of Family Research Council’s (FRC) DC headquarters. According to the FBI interrogation, Floyd Lee Corkins chose FRC as a target because “Southern Poverty Law [Center] lists anti-gay groups. I found them online.” So, Corkins stormed inside FRC’s building, armed with a backpack full of Chickfil-A sandwiches and 50 rounds of ammunition to “kill as many as possible and smear the ChickFil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” His heinous attack was stopped by FRC’s security guard, Leo Johnson—a hero who was shot while stopping the terrorist attack. In 2012, Corkins was sentenced to prison for 25 years. In 2017 Chick-fil-A donated money to the same corrupt SPLC that still outrageously lists FRC as a “hate group.”
The Chick-fil-A Foundation’s recent announcement about its future funding again reaffirmed its redirection and capitulation. It just so happens that the same three groups targeted for years by LGBT organizations as anti-LGBT “hate groups” just happened to be the same ones that would no longer be funded: The Salvation Army, Paul Anderson Youth Home and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Chick-fil-A’s press release acknowledges that these groups were “characterized as anti-LGBT groups” but never dispels that. They give excuses, basically, as to why they had funded these three remarkable organizations but would no longer. For those defending Chick-fil-A and pretending we haven’t witnessed their progression of capitulation, the Salvation Army sees it for what it is, stating in a press release: “We’re saddened to learn that a corporate partner has felt it necessary to divert funding to other hunger, education and homelessness organizations.” The Salvation Army does all three on a massive scale. But they don’t espouse an LGBT ideology. In explaining Chick-filA’s funding decisions, Rodney Bullard, VP of Corporate Responsibility and Executive Director of the Chick-fil-A Foundation said: “We don’t want our intent and our work to be encumbered by someone else’s politics or cultural war.

Advice to School Boards Regarding Satan Clubs
WARRENTON, Mo., Nov. 26, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- Atheists are at it again, in Knox County, KY this time, trying to prevent the exercise of free speech if it involves Christian viewpoint. In October, the school district allowed the launch of a pilot “Bible Release Time” program operated in partnership with Elgin Children’s Foundation (ECF) and a local church. Many similar programs run throughout the state-a class for religious instruction allowed by Tennessee law following these requirements: 1) Children must have a signed parental request; 2) It must be off school property; 3) Government funds cannot be used. On Halloween night, a local atheistic group enacted a deceptive ploy to scare school boards and parents, similar to when after-school Good News Clubs have been launched by Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF). In 1952, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowed for religious release programs and in 2001 a Supreme Court ruling allowed for non-schoolsponsored religious clubs to be held on public school property after hours. Good News clubs
and other privately sponsored clubs holding a religious viewpoint must be given the same access to facilities accorded any other extra-curricular group. Tennessee law allows a local board of education to adopt a policy that excuses students from school to attend a course in religious moral instruction for no more than one class period per school day, just like they would be released for any other parent-approved instruction. Here’s how the ploy works: Atheists go to a school where there is Bible Release Time (BRT) or a Good News Club and insist the school send a permission slip home with children for a Satan Club. They admittedly have no intention of teaching children about Satan, but they want to raise hysteria in hopes of shutting down religious clubs. CEF Communications representative Lydia Kaiser says, “The Satan Club organizers in Knox County say one of their primary tenets is to stand against ‘bigotry’ and ‘hate.’ It’s ironic that a charge of bigotry and hate is being leveled by an organization that is trying to shut down ano-
ther’s freedomto tell children that God loves them and that they have inherent dignity and value.” “Restricting any optional club activities is a loss to First Amendment liberties and penalizes children who need wholesome, extra-curricular activities whether they be 4-H, Boys and Girls Club of America, or Good News Club. CEF encourages school boards to restrict no clubs and let the parents decide where their children will attend. Clubs with good programming will flourish and those without good programming will not. The CDC just reported that the suicide rate among children climbed steeply in the last decade. Youth are in deep trouble and need the grounding that faith gives them.” Elgin Children’s Foundation educates school leadership with the legalities of released time instruction and trains local churches to become host sites for schools. The churches run the program with the foundation’s guidance and funding. Most sites use a curriculum written by Children’s Bible Ministries, and one site uses CEF material. CEF also trains volunteer teachers who lead GNCs... Continuation on Page: 2

Dear Reverend: The Holidays are here! Thanksgiving and now Christmas! How wonderful that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to come to earth and dwell among us! Isaiah 9:2: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of shadow and death a light has dawned.” It’s just like this when we are born again. The darkness and hopelessness pass away, and the light of Jesus comes into us! Here is my question: ties
going on around me– parties, winter dances, etc. I see all the sparkling lights. It’s so pretty, yet I don’t go to the gatherings because a lot of carousing goes on there. We seem to be the only neighbors with a lighted cross in our window. Should I join in to be a light in the midst of darkness? I’ve heard this teaching before. People could see Jesus in me, and I could be a witness. I’m an ex-alcoholic and ballroom dancer, but I could just sit there and let my light shine. Sparkles
Dear Sparkles: No, stay home. Here’s the reason why. You will be a much better witness by not joining in these particular activities. Satan is a very subtle ene my, and he can deceive you in many ways. Because you are asking this question, I feel that you already know the answer. What is the Holy Spirit telling you? 2Corinthians 5:17: Jesus says that if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here. 2 Corinthians 6:17 “Therefore, come out
after school. Child Evangelism Fellowship has over 7,000 Good News Clubs in the USA with almost 5,000 clubs located on school property. They are well run programs. A survey of principals, with schools who
have such clubs, found they saw positive changes in children’s behavior as a result of the character traits the clubs taught. CEF encourages school boards and parents to not allow themselves to be intimidated by the not-
so-scary “Satan Clubs.” Parents will ultimately decide which clubs survive, so the school doesn’t have to make that decision. A school board vote in Knox County is expected in January. Child Evangelism Fel-

He’s a ‘one-way’ Jesus, and in order to please Him and be at peace with ourselves, we must just stay true to Him! You can sparkle and shine doing things for Him! O, Blessed Peace! Peace on Earth! Good tidings to all men! Can we bring Jesus a gift this season? Yes! Tell everyone about His Saving Grace! Pull them out of the shadow of death!

afternoon visiting with her. Immediately the Holy Spirit changed my whole attitude by saying, “See Her!” I set up a time to meet with her within a few days. When we met, I asked the initial pre-counseling questions, and it was then I began to really understand what the Holy Spirit meant, “See HER.” I saw Molly very differently. She was in the center of huge challenges as the caregiver of an ailing father, raising a young daughter, dealing with an ex-husband and trying to be a comfort to a young Iraq War veteran with PTSD. There is much more I cannot share but there she was in the middle of challenges I couldn’t imagine and yet I noticed a calm, quiet woman, living one day at a time who needed someone to talk to. During our time together I found out that she and her family have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but after that there was very little biblical training or fellowship with other believers. She and her family have attended several churches searching for a place where they felt they could call home, where they wouldn’t be invisible, but
loved, learn to love, to be needed and become part of a larger family who could give emotional support and most of all eternal answers. After we talked for awhile and set another time to get together, I gave her a scripture to look up to show her how God sees her, Psalms 139:13-17. She didn’t have a Bible. I loaned her one of mine and she will have one of her own in a few days. Nick has called her dad several times and made plans to have coffee with him. We get so caught up in our needs, our agendas, our personal lives that if we would just look around and get to know those God has put in our paths, we will see that we are greatly needed as well. Maybe this is a Christmas message after all. God’s love for each one of us. We offered Molly and her family fellowship and love by beginning with coffee and a Bible. God offered us eternal life by giving us His Son. He says “I SEE YOU!” Blessings and Love Louise Alleva, D.Min, CTC, LCPC

I really thought about writing a Christmas article, until recently when Molly (name changed) came into my life. This was the article I felt the Lord wanted me to write. It’s not as much as a confession of my poor judgement but as a reminder to us all about those around us. I guess it can also relate to another young woman, named Mary. I’d met Molly before and even had opportunities to pray for her and give her a hug at church and fellowship times. Sad to say I drew some conclusions about her. She seemed very immature, trying to fit in yet stayed away from people she didn’t know and would talk to much or too fast when she would open up. When around a group of folks, she would back off and sit by herself and was left alone. I noticed her enough to judge, but not enough to get involved, until the Lord took over. It happened at one of the fellowship activities. When the evening was over and we all were leaving, Molly came up to me for the first time and said, “I need to talk to someone and was told to see you.” Initially, I didn’t take it too seriously and had planned on just a quick

College Rejects Pro-Life Group BY:MICAIAH BILGER on Campus: It Would “Cause Stress for the Student Body”
By Mc Am Int y yre
A New York college rejected two students’ request to establish a conservative club on campus this fall, arguing its focus on intellectual discussions about abortion and other issues could “cause stress for the student body.” The decision comes as pro-life students face increasing animosity on college campuses across the world. Some campuses have banned pro-life and conservative clubs from forming, while many already established clubs have been targets of vandalism. The College Fix reports students Hannah Sailer and Jenny Yuodsnukis recently requested permission from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York to form an Intercol-
legiate Studies Institute chapter. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is an organization that encourages students to engage in intellectual conservative thought through reading, discussions, special guest speakers and other formats. In October, Sailer and Yuodsnukis made their request in front of the joint student government, according to the report. The students said their peers “barraged” them with “antagonistic questions” for half an hour and then denied their request to form the club, the report states. “They asked ‘How can you make sure that [your club] is not going to promote racist rhetoric around campus?’ and ‘Would you be interested
if your club was approved, in doing diversity and inclusion courses to make sure [your club] is knowledgeable about diversity and inclusion,’” Sailer said. She said they also asked questions about abortion, immigration and other hot-button issues. The student government claimed the club could “cause stress to the student body,” according to the report. Here’s more: Hobart Student Government Secretary Andrew Guedea said in response “they were denied club status by a vote of other students. The executive boards of the governments do not vote in club status proposals, so this was a vote from their peers.” Guedea also stated Sail-
er and Yuodsnukis condemned ISI’s stances on social issues and “everything about the organization but the literature,” and that they “had emphasized the club was essentially a book club for conservative ideas.” “Ultimately, the two students were denied club status for ISI. We’d also like to note while different, we currently do have a chapter of Young
Americans for Freedom and the two presenting students were the former club leaders of YAF,” he said. Yuodsnukis described the decision as “disheartening” but promised not to give up their pursuit of educating their fellow students on conservative thought. These types of experiences are increasingly common for conservative
and pro-life students. Earlier this fall, The Independent reported how prolife campus clubs in the United Kingdom are facing increasing threats of “milkshaking” and other hostilities. And in the spring, Students for Life of America reported more than 50 pro-life student displays had been vandalized during the 20182019 school year. +++

What We Say Is
By Brother Wenston DeSue
What It Will Be...
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God...John 1:1 Sometimes we forget all of the wonderful things the Creator has done. A lot of times, this is because life’s good or life’s bad. In essence, we only look to God when we hit a roadblock, snag or wall. But I am here to tell you that no matter what, God stands with us. Hebrews 13:5 What we say resonates into eternity like rocks thrown in a pond. But it requires us to speak on God’s faithfulness... What we say carries some serious weight in our lives and the lives of others. If we are created in the image of God and in His likeness, is it possible that our past, present and future may be all wrapped up in what we say? Genesis 1:27 True to life, It may look like life has us in the crosshairs. Even speaking in people, places and events, we are challenged, but God is really checking us to see if we can speak faith in our lives and those around us. Ps 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” I am recalled to the time when I would read to my boys when they were really little. Each one looked forward to hearing stories involving the “Pokey Little Puppy” or “The Tiny Caterpillar”. They would grab the book of their choice, sitting in great expectation together. I believe the cutest thing was the accents used for each character, paying specific emphasis on described emotions in the
that are placed on us. But I am here to encourage you that God doesn’t condemn whom He loves. In fact, the Word of God says you can’t even condemn yourself. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him”. John 3:17 If you are a believer, know that as long as you keep His commands, that He will be there to cover your sins and bring you to a closer walk with Him. Holy is the name of the Maker of heaven and earth. He spoke us into existence, and we have the authority to speak life. Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” Let’s speak life into our lives and the lives of those around us and watch God’s fruits be sweetly manifested. Blessings to all.
reading. Eventually, the stories would take a life of their own, creating an entertaining, yet learning experience. The chore of reading, became an experience of connection. God desires to season our lives with His love, joy, mercy, long suffering, peace, patience, truth, faith, healing, etc., but what we have to do is speak back to Him what He is speaking to us. John 14:10 “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.” Have you been tested by the words of others? Many times we feed into the negativity that permeates from other’s opinions about us and life’s situations. We get wrapped up in the labels Brother Wenston DeSue

mindful of and cognizant of.” Has their mission drifted way to the Left? Out with organizations that do not espouse a pro-homosexuality ideology and in with those who do, like Covenant House. Don’t let the Catholic association fool you, though. Covenant House, a homeless shelter for youth, takes pride in its promotion of all things LGBTQ. They even marched in the New York “Gay Pride” parade to show their inclusivity cred. Guess the Salvation Army (which admittedly has an issue with partially supporting abortion in cases of rape, incest and “life and health” of the mother) should’ve flown some co-opted rainbow colors to keep their hundreds of thousands in funding. Whoops. Looks like Covenant is the new Salvation. Chick-fil-A funds the deeply political YWCA, a radically pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ organization that repeatedly partners with Planned Parenthood. Chick-fil-A also funds the DC-based New Leadership Council that identifies as a “hub of progressive millennial thought leadership” which exists to “support one another along their individual path to a more progressive
political and cultural land scape.” Chick-fil-A has given a sizable donation ($50k) to The Pace Center for Girls, yet another pro-abortion organization. The education and advocacy group featured radical pro-abortion feminist Gloria Steinem (the “I Had An Abortion” activist who declared that birthing children is the “fundamental cause of climate change”) as their keynote speaker for their most recent girls’ Summit. Or, how about Usher’s New Look, R&B star Usher Raymond IV’s liberal non-profit? The group’s Disruptivator Summit is all about progressive community organizing on pivotal social issues, and Chick-fil-A funds it ($38,700 in 2017). Chick-fil-A also gives tens of thousands to Chris 180 ($27,500 in 2017, $25k in 2019), a proLGBT behavioral health and child welfare service agency. The organization boasts of being awarded the “Leader in Supporting and Serving LGBT Families and Youth from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC).” Nothing promotes human degradation quite like the pro-abortion HRC—the multi-million dollar LGBT powerhouse that recently pushed for the legalization of prostitution in DC.
You can always love and serve the broken without affirming the brokenness. And then there’s Junior Achievement (JA), which inarguably does some phenomenal work with education and entrepreneurship. They’re the recipients of hundreds of thousands a year from Chick-fil-A. In 2016, though, JA joined a coalition (Georgia Prospers) of pro-LGBT businesses in their “Too Busy to Hate” campaign to politically oppose religious liberty legislation (specifically the First Amendment Defense Act) from passing in Georgia. So much for “not being encumbered by someone else’s politics or cultural war.” These groups, and many more funded by Chick-fil-A, are clearly political and liberal. Of course Chickfil-A funds a lot of great initiatives, but they’re being publicly dishonest about their corporate evolution. And the millions of families who’ve supported them over the years, because of the fast food chain’s principled stand, deserve to know the COWardice that the company has shown in the face of “progressive” activism.

Colorado Stalker Kevin Beck Harasses

Sports Ministry 4 WINDS’ Steve McConkey
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 22, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- Months ago, Kevin Beck started stalking Steve McConkey, President of 4 WINDS, through social media by creating a multitude of false accounts, making a mocking Twitter account, and a blog harassing McConkey and his wife. Eventually, Beck started calling radio shows trying to cancel McConkey’s radio interviews. He is mad at McConkey for standing up against the LGBT movement and the atheist organization Freedom From Religion. Beck has mentally abused Kim Duclos, an Olympic Trialist marathoner, on a continuous basis. He has numerous blog post rantings about her. She has accused Beck of stalking her. 4 WINDS is a Christian organization standing up for Christian athletes.

By Lynne Norwood | wwlady7@aol.com www.4windsusa.com The ministry recently helped reverse the Olympic Committee’s transgender policies. Beck claims McConkey is a mental patient, a liar, a cross-dresser, closet homosexual, racist, has a false university degree, and is a beggar. He has sent pictures of Jesus in various sex positions to McConkey. Beck is the author of Run Strong. He was a contributor to Runner’s World magazine and at one time was a senior writer. Beck has written articles at different running websites. Beck and girlfriend Lize
Life in the Philippines: two weeks, three earthquakes, two typhoons
From Page 5 ... of churches, these church leaders mobilize quickly. Because they invested in the communities around them before the crisis, people recognized World Mission’s partners when they came to help in the hours after the quakes struck. A cup of cold water… Now, “They’re bringing rice. They’re bringing beans. They’re bringing filters. Most people won’t think about this in the Philippines, but when these disasters happen, a lot of times, water is filled with bacteria, and infrastructures/utilities are damaged as well. So we distribute a lot of water filters in this area of the Philippines. It costs us about $20, but it lasts for three years, and it will filter water for a family of 10 people for three years.” Kelley says the ministry teams don’t go with an agenda. They’re going to meet the most basic of human needs in disaster, but they are also distributing solar-powered audio Bibles in the Cebuano-Tagalog language in these areas. Compassion changes everything. “These are basic expressions that soften that previously hardened heart so they’re at a place where they’ll receive Jesus; they’ll talk about the Lord. They’ll listen to the Bible. In many cases, they become followers of Jesus, and we see churches planted.” That’s not to say everyone who responds to the hope of the Gospel is an ISIS fighter, but it sure does go a long way to changing a community. What can we do? Kelley says, aside from praying for creative wisdom and boldness for their partners, tangible help can be efficient. For example, $40 gets a solar-powered audio Bible, called the Treasure, into someone’s hands. $20 gets a water filter or food for ten days. There are places these partners go to that are so remote, a four-wheel-drive SUV or a motorcycle can’t reach, says Kelley. “The only way we get there is with a horse. So we buy horses, which cost about $250. That goes to evangelists and missionaries who are now going into the most remote places.” Go to https://www.worldmission.cc/programs/ to learn how you can help. www.mnnonline.org
Britten (picture above) co-authored Young Runners at the Top. He is listed as Coach/Web Content Manager at Lowell Running. After contacting the Boulder Police Department, McConkey acquired Beck’s criminal record that included physically abusing a woman and a dog, defying a restraining order, five warrants, a criminal trespass charge, and a conviction for theft under $500. He spent ten days in jail for the theft. Beck’s address on some of the criminal reports was listed as homeless. Continuation on Page 7
(Sarasota, FL) The waves were higher on this side of the reef and the water much deeper that where we usually dove. We loved the sound; the ocean is a wonderful powerful force. We had towed a pontoon boat, lovingly named the “Bahama Mama” from our home in Sarasota, five hours south to the Florida Keys. We tied up to one of the floating buoys and as I jumped into the water I realized that it was colder than it had been at the shallower depths we dove the previous two days.

chance of getting ahead or pulling themselves out of the gutter. “These precious people are often viewed as human rubbish, and even the shadows they cast are believed to be cursed by some around them,” said GFA founder Dr. K.P. Yohannan. “Yet many lives are being changed forever by income-generating Christmas gifts.” Putting Jesus Front and Center The campaign is about “making Christmas a time of remembering our God who loved the world so much that he sent his son,” said Yohannan, whose Texas-based organization has served the poor in Asia for 40 years. “A single gift of compassion can help communicate the love of Jesus to one person, one family, or even an entire village in Asia.” GFA offers a free Forgotten Christmas kit to help churches kick-start the campaign, including a video, sermon notes, and gift catalog with practical items - such as goats and sewing machines that help lift families and
villages out of extreme poverty. Compassion Tops Commercialism In 2018, more than 230,000 impoverished families in Asia received Christmas gifts through GFA - and the organization aims to beat that number this year. In Asia, Kalapi’s children languished with hunger and sickness because there was no money to buy food or medicine. Through Forgotten Christmas, Kalapi received a cow and a calf, providing milk and an income stream for her family. “I thank God who has blessed us,” she said. Gifts like these can have a far-reaching impact, turning around families’ circumstances and creating a ripple effect across communities. Forgotten Christmas reminds us of the real reason we celebrate the holiday,” Yohannan said. “It’s an incredible opportunity to pour out God’s love on those who are most in need in our generation.” +++

Today we witnessed again the touch of the Holy Spirit What happened today was beyond our imaginations!!! Jesus not only transformed the heart of an extremist group member who used to target and kidnap innocent teenager girls, but He also protected hundreds in the village from a deadly attack which could end their lives forever. Today we witnessed again how the touch of Holy Spirit transforms you forever!!!!! We traveled close to 400km to reach this #AnonymousVillage. As we entered in this village, we were stopped by one extremist group who was carrying weapons. They looked inside our van and asked us “what is the purpose of your visit”? We told them we are here to share the word and love of God with our people. They told us that we have one hour to do everything we wanted and one of them who later repented warned us that if we stayed more than an hour, then we will be responsible for all consequences.
Our host told us they were looking for young girls when they checked/ looked inside our van. He told us nobody visits our village anymore and all the village residents are hopeless and wondering if God will ever respond to their cries?? We told our host everything is going to be alright. Just keep your eyes on Him. When we reached our location inside the village, the response was really overwhelming. When the village people saw us, some of them threw rose petals on us to welcome us, some hugged us, some were crying with joy and some fell at our feet. They told us it’s been two years that we have prayed as a Church. They told us nobody visits them because they are scared. We told the village people that today is their day to receive Miracles, Healing, Restoration, Deliverance and NEW Lives!!! Without wasting time we started our Prayer and Worship session
which was so powerful. When Pastor John was going to share the sermon, we all noticed one tall man coming into the prayer meeting with his weapon. He was the person who warned us earlier to not stay more than one hour. When we saw him we decided not to stop no matter what he may do to us. So Pastor John shared his sermon on “HE Is the Way, the Truth and the Life” from John 14:6 and James 1:12. We thought that extremist group member came to shoot us, but he was listening to the sermon this whole time and the Holy Spirit moved his heart. John encouraged people and told them that you are very special people because they persecute you, rob you, hate you, and discriminate against you because of His name. So rejoice when they treat you poor be cause God is watching this all and He will give you the crown of Life.
After listening to the sermon, this member of the extremist group came to the stage and said I want to share something with you all. He said I came into the prayer meeting to hurt you all, but as I entered in the prayer meeting it felt like someone chained me and told me to sit and listen. He also told the village that his extremist group was planning to burn down all the village after one week. He told the village people that within the coming days his group is planning to leave to visit another city and then you will have time to leave and empty this village. And he said I will surrender to police and also give them details so they can recover your loved ones which we took from you and he ask for forgiveness and cried a lot. Many repented and over 60+ received Jesus as their Personal Savior. Jesus delivered many from their weakness, illnesses. Would you please pray with us that the rest of extremist group will also repent and receive Jesus? +++

By Georgia Yost James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Excellent book broke down in three parts. The book has inspiring messages. •What the Word Of God is •How to Study •God compared to man •Our relationship to God •Know your enemy •How to operate in God’s authority Christians should know how to fight. We are in a fallen world and nothing here is perfect. God has given us everything we would have need of to live this life victoriously. We cannot be a light to the world if we are weighed down with the cares of this world. I pray this book can lead you to God and find that in Him we have peace, joy and understanding on how to live. With the years of experience I have, I cannot thank God enough for making it possible for me to share His love and faithfulness. $5.99 Order from www.amazon.com
