How Hollywood Invaded my Midweek Bible Study

I watched a great movie Saturday night that reminded me of my midweek Bible Study about Transforming Prayer where we’re reviewing the pieces of our spiritual armor that equip us to fight our spiritual battles.   The thriller movie, Enough, stars Jennifer Lopez who is physically abused by her husband so she flees with her little daughter and learns how to fight back from the raging attempts on her life.   She had to learn face-to-face combat with this abuser husband so that she could save herself and her little girl.

The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

Update on Bonnie

"When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder who stands a chance against us? " Pam Brown This is my favorite “Sisters” photo.   Bonnie is the blonde hugging me, Judy is the redhead next to me, and brunette Tammie behind her.   How’s that for variety? Thank you, friends, for helping me   pray for Bonnie whom I mentioned in my post just a month ago, June 11.   She was vacationing in Las Vegas and was rushed to Sunrise Hospital for immediate surgery for a brain aneurysm.   It was such a dangerous time, but your loving prayers got us through.   She began to respond and yesterday, she was airlifted back to Chicago where she is in rehab in a hospital close to home.   She is beginning to talk!   She responded accurately to the nurse who asked her to say her birth date.    My family and I thank you and we appreciate   every prayer for Bonnie!    Mark 16:18 “And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they w
