Here Are 2 Very Important Videos Addressing Hell Via Darlene Bishop Driscoll Preaching & Not Holding Back. Do You Think The Church Just Might Need This.

I knew of Darlene Bishop years ago and her marvelous healing testimony in her life. I think this connection goes way back to my days living in Ohio. I stumbled upon her preaching on the subject of hell a few weeks ago and feel led to share with you all. Really, there are only 2 places you will reside for all eternity when you draw your very last breath here on earth, heaven or hell. Look around and see the times in which we are living in, and I would highly suggest taking a personal look at your life and the decision you made/make to live in either place. This is a sobering type of blog entry but Jesus cares that much for you than you care to realize. Choose wisely, the choice really is yours. You know there is also the eminent reality of Jesus returning to come and claim His people here on earth. That is biblical and the bible states that when he comes to get His people the trump will sound and the dead in Christ will come up and then the believers in Christ will rise up in the air to join the dead in Christ. Please be prepared in your life for either situation.

I have been blessed by Darlene & Phil Driscoll's church recently. Their Christmas church concert was absolutely beautiful. I even watched last night, 12/27/2023 the Wednesday service and even one of my children commented how she is the real deal is what they said to me. Let's explore the realm of hell okay.

Further thoughts, happy thoughts they are. This couple came together in the union in marriage in their later years of life. How beautiful that is. Yes, God does bring strong couples together not just for ministry purposes but also to experience love the way Jesus wants you to experience His love as He has love for the church. How beautiful, how beautiful. Praise God for His amazing matchmaker creativity.

I Highly Recommend Going To See A Delightful Movie @ The Movie Theatre...

One of my children saw a movie trailer for the movie, "Wonka" and treated us to an early afternoon movie @ a local theatre on Christmas Day while dinner was cooking in the oven. We had a delightful start to the day with communion and prayer. I was pleasantly surprised how good this movie actually was and, in the end, the good people win out. People need to see things like this movie to lift your spirits and see that good people truly do triumph, they really do. Go see it and explore the creativity on screen through this movie. So many people feel like we felt that this movie is so much better than the original Wonka movie made years ago.

I just kept thinking to myself what a delight this is, what a delight this is. Yes, dreams given do come true. Follow the dreams in your heart and never give up on seeing them come true okay. I had brisket of beef slowly cooking in the oven while @ the movie. The whole house had the wonderful scent of brisket cooking in the oven. Then I steamed some fresh broccoli and squeezed fresh lemon on it while it was steaming. Sliced raw carrots and after pulling the beef out of the roasting pan I then placed in the natural juice the carrots to cook. You really have to make mashed potatoes using a pressure cooker instead of boiling on the stove top. There just is no comparison of flavors cooking this way and then don't just mash the potatoes but put them through a food mill and you will have no lumps in the mashed potatoes whatsoever. We made a cucumber, tomato & onion vinaigrette salad and Publix potato rolls heated in the oven. This year instead of serving the sliced brisket and placing in the natural juice I made as a request by one of my children. To actually make brown gravy using the Gravy Master recipe on the bottle. It turned out lovely. Oh, I did slice some beef to go in the refrigerator in case someone wanted to make a beef slider type of sandwich with the potato rolls.

It is good to spend Christmas with family, especially if a dear loved one went to be with Jesus, and you can't help remembering they were with you meaning being alive this time last year. Oh, you know what I did this year. I pulled out my mother's gift-wrapping container and used one of her sets of scissors and actually wrapped presents with her paper and ribbons also. I put on each card a little memo letting them know a bit of her was with them this year as I wrapped their presents with her wrappings. Isn't that a clever Holy Spirit idea. He is so creative, and I forever love His nudges, I truly do.

Blessings of joy and great joy with you today.

Nashville's BNA Airport You Really Need To Fix Your Serious Traffic Control Problems Entering & Exiting The Airport. Why Don't You Hire People To Direct The Traffic.

Yesterday afternoon later in the afternoon I had to pick up one of my children from the airport. I knew of the traffic backup problem @ this airport when I dropped one of my children off for departure flights in October. That was pathetic then the long line that started once you got off the highway for that exit. I had no idea that I would be experiencing the same problem going to the arrivals exit off of the highway. Why can you not alleviate this traffic mess with hiring traffic directing personnel. This is not a complicated thing to resolve. Get physical people at busy times at the airport to direct the traffic flow. You know, like when a traffic light is malfunctioning, they then place officers at the intersection to direct the traffic flow. How hard is it for you to be pro-active to alleviate this very big problem. My GPS said I would arrive there by 4:17pm and I was sitting on the highway just to get off the highway and then you have to merge once off the exit, and it is quite pathetic the line you are sitting in, and it is moving very, very slow. I sat there in traffic, and it was 4:45pm when I actually got to the arrival area to pick up my child. Then, we literally sat in the same traffic jam problem trying to get out of the airport to the highway. Put a traffic director out there to control the traffic. Better yet, you have to be making lots of money @ this airport with the amount of people I see coming and going so put that money to good use. Pay extra dollars to speed up your construction projects so the construction is done faster and more expedient to get this done once and for all. Instead of seeing this or that road closed with barriers up, traffic lights not working, etc.

This is not rocket science and if I, being a woman, can see how to solve this problem then what are the high salary executives doing to work out this problem. Maybe fire them and say we do not need your services anymore and hire women that think with sensibility to solve this problem that you created. Get the job done so we can enjoy visiting with family/friends and not have to sit in traffic either picking them up or dropping them off. I have a credit voucher for an airline I really do not want to use it until this airport gets fixed. Why should anyone that is local have to consider staying overnight at a hotel so as to not have to deal with this traffic backup the day of travel. FIX THIS BAD TRAFFIC FLOW PROBLEM okay. 

They travelled here from GA, and they said there was no traffic problems/traffic jams at that very large airport they flew out of like we just experienced.

Last Saturday 12/16/2023 Great Holy Spirit Adventure. Involves Going To Crumbl Cookies, Cemetery & Einstein Brothers Bagels in Franklin, TN. Want To Hear About It ...

This past Saturday was one of those divine destiny days if I may say so myself.  I had to be at an early morning appointment in Murfreesboro. I saw in advance a portion of my day and agenda to be fulfilled. I knew a few things, get Crumbl Cookies to bless the cemetery office team with for their kindness to me this past year when I would inquire if the grave marker for Jeff Jansen had been ordered and placed @ the gravesite. I had to go to The Fresh Market to get some decaf peppermint cream coffee and to get bagels for when one of my children comes for a visit. That is all I knew pre-trip. See, when you allow Holy Spirit to direct your steps He does.

Never tire from learning regardless of your age okay. I knew to bring with me a Christmas card so I could fill it out to give with the cookies to the cemetery office personnel. I did fill it out. At Crumbl Cookies I was going to get as one of the cookie selections the red velvet sandwich type of cookie until the older in age server suggested not to get it. She tapped on the display cookie for me to see it was a hard and not soft type of cookie and it was not selling so well and not good reviews on it from people that purchased it. Lesson learned was to take the advice from a person who deals with this situation all day long. I go to the cemetery and sit in the entranceway and share my faith seed journey the past year of coming to the cemetery periodically to check on status of grave marker. It really is a testimony to bring great glory to God. I shared and blessed them with the cookies and then felt led to actually go and see the temporary grave marker until the permanent one is put in place. I share and call this my Christmas miracle prayer being answered; indeed, it was.

From there off to The Fresh Market in Brentwood for the coffee. On my way there I stopped @ Bruegger's Bagels but they were all sold out for the day even though the store was still open for business? I went and got the coffee and while in the car I called Einstein Bagel's in Franklin at a location that was not closed yet for the day to see if they still had fresh bagels. I inquired and said if they were not going to be fresh since they were made earlier in the day, I could just go to Publix early the next morning when those Einstein Bagels are delivered to the bakery department. This is when I learned something pretty valuable. Just because you see the name brand and placed out each day does not necessarily mean those are fresher than purchasing from the actual store. I found out the Publix stores are getting corporate Einstein Bagels, and they are frozen then thawed out if I understood correctly. Wow, see you just never know something until inquiring. So, I let the manager know a few flavors to put aside for me that I was heading back to Franklin from Brentwood.

Hang in there with me okay. I was closer to heading back home but something inside of me just wouldn't let go of me going to get bagels. I walk into the store and recognize a prophet and his wife at a table, and I inquire excuse me are you ... I recognize you from the Fusion Conference in Nashville. I am so candid and just assume prophets prophesy wherever they go so I asked are you here prophesying to everyone @ Einstein bagel. I think I may have mentioned that another time also. I shared how they prophesied over a well-known prophet @ the conference, and I then stood in line to get a book signed by that prophet. I made mention to the prophet that I did not know they were going to be prophesied over in the meeting and I already wrote up a card with a donation inside the card that sure did correlate with the word just spoken. I also commented how his wife was on a interview with Mike & Cindy Jacobs recently. She responded that they both just taped an interview with them, and it will air I believe it will be 12/28/2023. See, follow Holy Spirit and He never lets you down or disappoints you. All I knew was to get bagels to take home and individually wrap each one and place in the freezer. I stumbled on this one, take the frozen bagel and place in microwave about 30 seconds. Slice the bagel and place a little butter on each side and put in the air fryer for about 5 minutes and you have a delightful, toasted bagel. I let them know my child said not so much for the everything bagel, but I sure was on target for the other bagels I selected. Guess what, the everything bagel was already in a bag, so the manager said to the staff person waiting on me to just give that bagel to me too.

I then run into Publix, and I am going down an aisle and I hear a man on the phone asking is wax paper the same as parchment paper and I know they are not, especially if you are going to bake with one. I gently said they are not the same as I walked by. Apparently, the person they were talking with needed parchment paper and Publix was all out of it at the time. I did use their restroom while at the store and commented to the front desk that the Publix where I live has a much nicer/newer restroom and is a much smaller store and maybe they need to do a restroom remodel. Do you think I need to place filters on my thoughts or just speak the way it is. My suggestion may just be heard and acted upon someday.

Oh, there is more to this adventure. Remember when I placed the 20.00 bill into the hands of one of Jeff's sons and found out Jeff's birthday was going to be that Tuesday? In the mail on that very birthday was an unexpected check in the amount of 11.35 for me. I reached out to a very wise man that I don't know why I do but refer to him as a pastor to pastors and shared about the check amount. I searched in Isaiah 11: 35 there was not scripture, and I searched the reverse but nothing to be found in regard to the meaning of the dollar amount and Jeff was wise when it came to biblical meanings of numbers. I heard Isaiah. He then shared the numbers added up equal 10. Sure enough, Holy Spirit wakes me the next morning to go read Isaiah 10 the entire chapter. Then He speaks something pretty sobering to my heart about this chapter. He shared with me that what is located in this scripture is referencing the USA and the enemies of Israel, both groups. Do not worry if you are a true born-again believer in Jesus because He watches out for and protects His own and the country of Israel also. Be encouraged and do not fall for enemy chit chat okay and follow Holy Spirit guidance and you will be just fine. Never tire of sharing your testimony with others because you just never know how your testimony may encourage another or be used as a confirmation in their very life. Jesus is Lord and never forget that. All is well, all is well with my soul.

Temporary grave marker until permanent one is placed there.

 I was glad to see that someone is coming to visit the gravesite and pay respects because I did not place these flowers here and they had fresh flowers at one time when a picture was sent to me. Yes, visiting a gravesite can bring healing to you also. Jesus heals the broken hearted and never forget that.

May I Share My Sunday Holy Spirit Adventure, This Is An Answer To Prayer & Monetary Faith Seeds I Planted. Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.

It all begins with a seed faith word Holy Spirit places inside of you. When He does that don't be surprised if He has you walk it out in unique ways, He most assuredly will. I have found that to be so evident in my faith walk with Jesus throughout the years. I have shared on my blog the strong prompting by Holy Spirit to see one day a grave marker for a minister that flowed in signs, wonders, miracles and salvations for Jesus on an international level. Remember those journey's when I would go to the cemetery and place monetary seed offerings tucked under the plastic grave marker? I then moved out of the area, and it was not so easy to go to the cemetery to see in faith if the grave marker was in place yet. You know, everyone should have a grave marker to commemorate a person's life here on earth if they are buried at a cemetery, do you agree.

I think it may have been 3 times I placed flowers at the grave and one of them was a Fall artificial flower bouquet I made to place by the grave. I am not one of those people that goes to a grave of a preacher and rolls around and tries to get some sort off anointing from doing so. I was every time very respectful of the grave and would try to not walk on it and figured out a way each time to graciously place the seed faith monetary offering tucked under the plastic grave marker. Through my visits I did find out the cemetery itself does not place I like to refer to them as cheap plastic frames to mark the grave. Funeral parlors that handle burials provide them if the burial is not done through the cemetery itself. I also found out that through things like weather or mowing of the grass those plastic frames could somehow not be there on a visit.

My very last visit to the cemetery a young man helped me find the grave since the marker was no longer in place. This young man was a Christian and while we were at the gravesite, I shared how I believe everyone should have a grave marker to recognize their life & death. I even shared that this was a man of God that international led people to Jesus. At that visit because I really did not know where the grave was situated, I stepped on the grave and felt so bad and may have even expressed that as I said God bless you Jeff, but I was looking down at the grave then I said while looking up in the sky to heaven God Bless you Jeff. If I recall it went something like that. I corrected myself because he is not in the ground he is in heaven and one day I will see him again. The young man said amen and gave me his business card if he could ever be of further assistance to me.

People you have to understand me, I am not one that goes to cemeteries to visit gravesites, I don't even do that when I am back in Ohio and drive the distance to Kirtland, Ohio where my family is buried, I just don't do that but will visit family graves when at the cemetery for a funeral. I am not cold hearted or anything like that, I just know they are in heaven and not in the grave anymore. Does that make sense to you. For some reason, Holy Spirit placed this within me to step out in faith in reference to Jeff Jansen and I chose to follow through. I gain absolutely nothing from being the grave marker advocate so to speak other than following Holy Spirit fast & obedient to His beckoning's. A wise older gentleman I like to refer to as a pastor to pastors many weeks ago suggested to reach out to his children that attend a church nowhere near, I live now and see if the grave marker had been ordered. It was not right timing inside of me though. Holy Spirit showed me getting a 20.00 bill to take with me but on Sunday, I did not feel the unction to go that day and did not go then. I planted that 20.00 bill into someone else's life. Why, it was all God's timing. See, the seed thought was planted for the time to take action. Does that make sense.

All I knew was Jeff's birthday was sometime in December and it had a 2 in the date so when I went this past Sunday, I thought his birthday already took place. It wasn't until late the night before Holy Spirit drops it inside of me to take 20.00 as a seed offering to bless the older children of Jeff's family the next day. I did not have a 20.00 bill on me so I was up early @ Publix to buy Einstein bagels (that dog gone impulse buying got me to buy G.H. Cretors cheddar cheese popcorn too) and then increase the sale by 20.00 to get the 20.00 bill I needed for this mission adventure. In order for me to arrive at the church I had to allow myself 1 hours' drive time to get there. I get to the church, and it was filled with cars in the parking lot. There was a Christmas pageant/play that took place that day. I was seated and there was a little scene that brought tears to my eyes, and I had to use a Kleenex. I remembered what one of Jeff's sons looked like, but I was not sitting anywhere near where they were seated. Church was released and they were having a dinner, candy station and ornament making areas to for the guests to partake in. I was going to leave because I do believe in God's timing until, I spotted one of his children with his family and then I walked down the stairs to greet them. I gotta tell you this about me and what about you too ... isn't there a little hesitation when you are approaching someone you really don't know, and the words could become jumbled, or presentation is not the way you thought it would be? Don't let the enemy distract you and stop a moment with God do what I do. I ask Holy Spirit to let me step aside and His words flow through me. I sometimes visualize from my heart to my mind to my ears to my mouth if I am speaking or to my hands if I am writing and I let go so to speak and let His words minister through me. Oh, another important thing. Holy Spirit will show you in advance talking points and He will make sure you cover them all in the conversation. Be sensitive to His leading okay.

Remember how I shared it was all about God's timing, He will confirm something to you, He really will when you step out in faith. The words just flowed, and I gave his son a 20.00 seed faith offering for Jeff's family. I shared a bit and then did confess I was the lady that would place monetary seed faith seeds at the cemetery with the plastic marker and I was respectful of his father's grave also. I shared that I kind of know a little what they are going through since my mother had a stroke last year and 1 month later, she went to be with Jesus. I shared how his father was a good man also. So, the grave marker has been ordered and I said oh will it be in place next Spring and he responded it will be there sooner than that. Answered prayer, do you agree. What was more touching was when I said isn't your dad's birthday this month and he replied it was Tuesday. Not past Tuesday but the Tuesday following the Sunday, I handed them the 20.00 bill. I went to my car and began to cry how faithful God is to see prayers answered. I like to call it my Christmas miracle prayer answered. I planted this seed offering for a very specific thing Holy Spirit placed upon my heart. That is known as stretching your faith big time. To God be the glory. Oh, I also left a voicemail msg for the older wise man that planted the seed thought weeks ago and even in the msg I had tears in my eyes. My work was done for this Holy Spirit project, onto the next one now.

Lesson being taught today ... when you hear Holy Spirit voice do not turn away from Him but draw near to Him and He does share secrets with friends of His, He really does. With an overwhelmingly heart filled with gratitude I submit this blog entry to you all. Seeds of kindness never drop to a fallow ground but a very rich soil to receive the seed and let it grow and prosper.

Don't Sit Around & Mope, Bless Others Even When You Feel Like Not.

I was in a sort of mope type of mood today. Like I didn't want to do anything today, but I knew I had to pull myself out of it and bless others and that is what I did. I baked peanut butter with mini chocolate chips and mini-Reese pieces in the mix cookies. I also baked red velvet with cream cheese baking chips cookies too. Oh my, I had a few miniature Reese cups today & a few Hershey kisses too that were left over from making the Christmas trees. I had to nip that in the bud so to speak. How did I do that ... I bagged them up in a cute Merry Christmas zip bag to take into work to give to a co-worker. In the event she wanted to make those Reese Christmas trees.

 I pulled up CNB radio music and played Christmas music and paused to listen to a time of ministry this afternoon with Dr. Aaron Winter's ministry. See, to get out of a certain state, you operate in the reverse and pull yourself right out. Yep, I filled out Christmas cards, packed up some home-made cookies and chocolates from Waggoner Chocolates out of Canton, Ohio. I have them ready to go out in the mail to bless those that have blessed me. I really wanted to go into town which is about 35 minutes away to look at a larger tv for one of the bedrooms that I have a 32" tv in that room. I just didn't want to go today so why sit around and do nothing. I at least changed the bathroom shower curtains to the Christmas one's I have and put up a few Christmas decorations. Hey that is a start right. Sometime, I still have to make butterball cookies, and Christmas Crack candy but in a slightly different version this time. Using ritz crackers not saltines and after the chocolate chips melt on top of the toffee portion, then you spread on top of that Heath bar pieces and chopped pecans. Oh my, I can only imagine the calories in a piece of that.

So, lesson learned ... don't sit around and mope even though you may feel like it. Others are out there ready to receive the blessings that can only come in the fashion you send forth the blessing. Sure, people bless others all the time, but do they bless in the manner that is your personal style of blessing. Be adventurous and bless the one you really want to bless in your heart. I can guarantee they will not turn down or turn away that special blessing coming from you. If you don't bake, then how about sending fresh flowers to them to be delivered to them @ their home. Just a thought or two.

I Made Reese Cups Christmas Tree Treats, Too Much Work For Me But Hey I Made Them @ Least Once.

I saw this adorable recipe and it looked to be pretty simple to make so I purchased the ingredients and told a few people about this fun recipe. I began putting 1 together thought it did not look in proportion to the rest of the tree. I am a person that will find a solution if I don't like something or something is not working the way it should. The recipe just says a Reese cup as one of the ingredients. I double checked the recipe, and it does not say to use either regular or snack size Reese cup. It does tell you to use Reese miniature and Hershey kisses but not specification of the size of actual Reese cup. I made both and let me tell you it is nicely proportioned as a Christmas tree when using snack size Reese cup as opposed to full sized Reese cup.

Then it showed using that frosting in a bag you can get down the baking aisle. Well, it worked at first then it stopped coming out of the tip on top and came out of a seam in the bag, I used some as the glue needed to put the pieces together to create the tree. The recipe actually called for melting some chocolate chips to use as the adhesive. I tried both and guess what? One of each came unglued while decorating the trees. I still decorated the 2 trees and then re-glued the bottom miniature Reese cup back to the tree. I like to get creative so I thought I would like decorating with my home-made butter cream frosting, so I made some and colored some frosting red and some green. Then I had some decorating sprinkles already but found a really cute sprinkle combo @ Michael's craft store and utilized that also. I was shopping at a grocery outlet, and they had sugar cookie Hershey's kisses, so I bought a bag to change the style of some trees. How fun is that. When I first saw this recipe idea, I shared it with a co-worker and on my lunch break I went and bought some of the ingredients I could find and then came back, and we tried to see if it would actually work. That is called trying out a rough draft before delving into a project.

I tried decorating the first tree I made with the frosting in a bag and did not like the look so that is when I began to think what it would look like with my home-made frosting. Well, let me tell you this there really is no comparison of the taste of frosting in a bag/tube compared to the flavor of my frosting. That is personal preference, and you may like the flavor of one over the other. This is America and that is the beauty in living here we have choices to make. Do not let others try to coerce you into something when you just know deep down inside of you that what they are trying to force you to do, say, think is just not right. I call that Holy Spirit guidance/direction, or you may refer to it as deep down inside of you, gut instinct.

So, the disproportioned Christmas trees I have some miniature cupcake liners and it fits perfectly in one, so it now looks proportioned.

I saw another intriguing recipe and I think I may want to try it also, Menorah shaped Challah bread. I do not think it is a complicated recipe. I may make in advance and freeze for Christmas dinner. Can you tell I like creative projects? Oddly enough I found a mistake in the recipe. It states as an ingredient water but the actual direction states in step one "in bowl of stand mixer, combine yeast, milk ...."

I am not just like this in my personal life, but it spills over into my professional life also. I saw something not working like it should and I reached out to the creator of the program and inquired. Guess what? They found a fix for the glitch I happened to find while using the program and they fixed it. I was most thankful for the assistance. I do not need recognition for this, but I do wonder if/why others using the same program didn't catch this? Maybe that is because I have this attention to detail built inside of me. I just finished reading another ministry book and sure enough I think I found a typo error. I think this book was self-published and I am not going to reach out to this minister. Time is too short, and I think there are other much more important things in life to deal with and prayers that need to be prayed and fasting coupled with that prayer also.

As each day gets closer to 12/14, I wonder now and then if my mother knew she was going to have a stroke and then die 1 month later. I think about random things like that. This time last year I was getting my place ready for my mom and 2 children to come and visit and spend Christmas with me. It never happened and I know my mom was excited to come and spend time with us together. Instead, she laid in a hospital bed and then off to 2 different rehab type of places to assist her in recovering from the stroke that kept her left side from full functioning. She was a food snob (in a good way I mean this) she knew a lot about cooking, baking, and how to make something taste wonderful when she cooked/baked. She still in my opinion made the best ever pie crust. With this new place in her life, she was now not able to eat without someone assisting her and not regular food we may eat but food that when she swallowed because of the left side of her body from the stroke it also affected her left side of swallowing, she did not choke. How can a wonderful cook be brought down to this in her life?

This morning in time with Holy Spirit I inquired of things like this. He so lovingly assured me that her 93 years living here on earth are just a drop in a bucket compared to the glorious life she is living in heaven for all eternity. There is no comparison of time like we know it here on earth. I asked Him why she had such a hard life here on earth and He assured me once again, that time on earth is nothing in comparison to the wonderful life she lives in heaven now and that is for eternity, not just a mere 93 years on earth. My mother was a giver, encourager and she knew how to love. See, what you do on earth for others with a heart filled with love really does matter when you invite Jesus into your heart to be the love of your life. He died for you and me so we will not live in a living hell for all eternity but in heaven with Him for all eternity. The choice is truly yours, really think about this most important decision in your life that you will ever make. Choose wisely because once you draw your last breath here on earth there is no going back on that decision. You decide where you will live for all eternity, either heaven or hell. There is no in-between limbo/purgatory like some would like to think. No, if you choose to take innocent lives and think that is your grand prize when you draw your last breath, you will be sorely surprised when you meet the fate of your final demise in hell. Do not listen to the lies out there being told to people. Repent of your sins and ask Jesus into your heart and to cover your sins with the precious blood He shed on Calvary for you and me.

I have been burning the candles each night of the Menorah. Last night I tuned into Marty Goetz and his wife. I wonder if when I attended my university right in the heart of a large Jewish community if Marty still lived in Ohio during those years with his family. Imagine that a Jesuit university that welcomed Mother Teresa on a visit to the campus while I attended the university right in the midst of a Jewish community. Only to find out my true heritage a few years ago. Do you think that was a design in my life by God Almighty. That is not a coincidence but called divine destiny. So, I love the way they sing, pray, worship together as a couple. I would like that in a marriage. Where the couple genuinely like/love/respect and treat each other with loving manners and words of love. You can tell they really like being together. Isn't that something worth waiting for in a marriage.
