Do you think humans will even colonize Mars? What would life there actually look like? Frankly, life in Mars would be entirely different because I thought Mars was a very cold climate. It would require additional study to determine whether or not Mars is a feasible place to live. It would cost a lot of money 💰 to travel over there. However, as far as colonizing Mars is concerned, I would not recognize it. Honestly, Man would attempt to do anything without giving God credit…
- What Does The Bible say about Female Pastors?Christianity What Does the Bible Say About Female Pastors? Are pastoral duties only reserved for men? By Lauren McKeithen Pexels The topic of whether women should be pastors in a church is a continuing debate among numerous denominations. Throughout time, theologians have contemplated this issue and concluded that pastoral duties are for men. However, despite this, there are still some arguments being raised that women can be pastors, too. Still, what does the Bible say about this topic? What does the Bible say about female pastors? In Paul’s letter to Timothy, specifically in 1 Timothy 2:12, he says that he doesn’t…

Revelation 3NIV
Revelation 3
To the Church in Sardis
1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.
3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.
5 The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.
6 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Philadelphia
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.
13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.
15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Chapter 3
Epistles to the church at Sardis; (1-6) at Philadelphia; (7-13) and Laodicea. (14-22)
1-6. The Lord Jesus is He that hath the Holy Spirit with all his powers, graces, and operations. Hypocrisy, and lamentable decay in religion, are sins charged upon Sardis, by One who knew that church well, and all her works. Outward things appeared well to men, but there was only the form of godliness, not the power; a name to live, not a principle of life. There was great deadness in their souls, and in their services; numbers were wholly hypocrites, others were in a disordered and lifeless state. Our Lord called upon them to be watchful against their enemies, and to be active and earnest in their duties; and to endeavour, in dependence on the grace of the Holy Spirit, to revive and strengthen the faith and spiritual affections of those yet alive to God, though in a declining state. Whenever we are off our watch, we lose ground. Thy works are hollow and empty; prayers are not filled up with holy desires, alms-deeds not filled up with true charity, sabbaths not filled up with suitable devotion of soul to God. There are not inward affections suitable to outward acts and expressions; when the spirit is wanting, the form cannot long remain. In seeking a revival in our own souls, or the souls of others, it is needful to compare what we profess with the manner in which we go on, that we may be humbled and quickened to hold fast that which remains. Christ enforces his counsel with a dreadful threatening if it should be despised. Yet our blessed Lord does not leave this sinful people without some encouragement. He makes honourable mention of the faithful remnant in Sardis, he makes a gracious promise to them. He that overcometh shall be clothed in white raiment; the purity of grace shall be rewarded with the perfect purity of glory. Christ has his book of life, a register of all who shall inherit eternal life; the book of remembrance of all who live to God, and keep up the life and power of godliness in evil times. Christ will bring forward this book of life, and show the names of the faithful, before God, and all the angels, at the great day.
Verses 7-13 The same Lord Jesus has the key of government and authority in and over the church. He opens a door of opportunity to his churches; he opens a door of utterance to his ministers; he opens a door of entrance, opens the heart. He shuts the door of heaven against the foolish, who sleep away their day of grace; and against the workers of iniquity, how vain and confident soever they may be. The church in Philadelphia is commended; yet with a gentle reproof. Although Christ accepts a little strength, yet believers must not rest satisfied in a little, but strive to grow in grace, to be strong in faith, giving glory to God. Christ can discover this his favour to his people, so that their enemies shall be forced to acknowledge it. This, by the grace of Christ, will soften their enemies, and make them desire to be admitted into communion with his people. Christ promises preserving grace in the most trying times, as the reward of past faithfulness; To him that hath shall be given. Those who keep the gospel in a time of peace, shall be kept by Christ in an hour of temptation; and the same Divine grace that has made them fruitful in times of peace, will make them faithful in times of persecution. Christ promises a glorious reward to the victorious believer. He shall be a monumental pillar in the temple of God; a monument of the free and powerful grace of God; a monument that shall never be defaced or removed. On this pillar shall be written the new name of Christ; by this will appear, under whom the believer fought the good fight, and came off victorious.
Verses 14-22 Laodicea was the last and worst of the seven churches of Asia. Here our Lord Jesus styles himself, “The Amen;” one steady and unchangeable in all his purposes and promises. If religion is worth anything, it is worth every thing. Christ expects men should be in earnest. How many professors of gospel doctrine are neither hot nor cold; except as they are indifferent in needful matters, and hot and fiery in disputes about things of lesser moment! A severe punishment is threatened. They would give a false opinion of Christianity, as if it were an unholy religion; while others would conclude it could afford no real satisfaction, otherwise its professors would not have been heartless in it, or so ready to seek pleasure or happiness from the world. One cause of this indifference and inconsistency in religion is, self-conceit and self-delusion; “Because thou sayest.” What a difference between their thoughts of themselves, and the thoughts Christ had of them! How careful should we be not to cheat our owns souls! There are many in hell, who once thought themselves far in the way to heaven. Let us beg of God that we may not be left to flatter and deceive ourselves. Professors grow proud, as they become carnal and formal. Their state was wretched in itself. They were poor; really poor, when they said and thought they were rich. They could not see their state, nor their way, nor their danger, yet they thought they saw it. They had not the garment of justification, nor sanctification: they were exposed to sin and shame; their rags that would defile them. They were naked, without house or harbour, for they were without God, in whom alone the soul of man can find rest and safety. Good counsel was given by Christ to this sinful people. Happy those who take his counsel, for all others must perish in their sins. Christ lets them know where they might have true riches, and how they might have them. Some things must be parted with, but nothing valuable; and it is only to make room for receiving true riches. Part with sin and self-confidence, that you may be filled with his hidden treasure. They must receive from Christ the white raiment he purchased and provided for them; his own imputed righteousness for justification, and the garments of holiness and sanctification. Let them give themselves up to his word and Spirit, and their eyes shall be opened to see their way and their end. Let us examine ourselves by the rule of his word, and pray earnestly for the teaching of his Holy Spirit, to take away our pride, prejudices, and worldly lusts. Sinners ought to take the rebukes of God’s word and rod, as tokens of his love to their souls. Christ stood without; knocking, by the dealings of his providence, the warnings and teaching of his word, and the influences of his Spirit. Christ still graciously, by his word and Spirit, comes to the door of the hearts of sinners. Those who open to him shall enjoy his presence. If what he finds would make but a poor feast, what he brings will supply a rich one. He will give fresh supplies of graces and comforts. In the conclusion is a promise to the overcoming believer. Christ himself had temptations and conflicts; he overcame them all, and was more than a conqueror. Those made like to Christ in his trials, shall be made like to him in glory. All is closed with the general demand of attention. And these counsels, while suited to the churches to which they were addressed, are deeply interesting to all men.

Chapter Summary
INTRODUCTION TO REVELATION 3
This chapter contains the epistles to the churches at Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, and begins with that to Sardis; in which the sender describes himself by some things taken out of a former description of him; and gives an account of the state of this church; that her works were known by him, which were imperfect; and that she had the name of a living church, but was dead; wherefore she is exhorted to watchfulness and diligence, to remember how she had heard and received the Gospel, and to hold it fast, and repent of her sins: if not, he threatens to come as a thief unawares upon her, Re 3:1-3, but excepts some few persons from this general account, who were not defiled with the corruptions of the majority, and who therefore should be favoured with communion with him, Re 3:4, and then some gracious promises are made to persevering saints, and the epistle is concluded in the usual form, Re 3:5,6. Next follows the epistle to the church at Philadelphia; in which the sender assumes some peculiar titles not before mentioned, taken from his holiness, truth, and power, Re 3:7, signifies his approbation of her works; declares he had set before her an open door, which could not be shut; affirms she had a little strength, and commends her for keeping his word, Re 3:8, and, for her encouragement, promises that some persons, formerly of bad characters, should come and worship before her, and should know what an interest she had in his love; and that since she had kept his word, he would keep her from an hour of temptation, which will be a trying time to all the world, Re 3:9,10, and in consideration of his speedy coming, he exhorts her to hold fast what she had, that she might not lose her honour and glory; and promises the overcomer a fixed place and name in the house of God; and closes the epistle as the rest, Re 3:11-13, and then follows the last epistle of all, which is that to the church at Laodicea; in which the sender describes himself by some characters taken from his truth and faithfulness, and from his eternity, power, and dominion, Re 3:14, represents the members of this church as lukewarm, and very disagreeable to him, Re 3:15,16, and as having a vain opinion of themselves, being ignorant of their real state and case, Re 3:17, wherefore he gives them some wholesome counsel and advice, suitable to their condition, Re 3:18, and whereas there were some among them he loved, he lets them know that his rebukes and chastenings were from love, and with a view to stimulate them to zeal, and bring them to repentance, which became them, Re 3:19, and then he informs them where he was, what he expected from them, and what they might upon a suitable behaviour enjoy with him, Re 3:20, and next promises to the overcomer great honour and glory, such as he had with his Father; and concludes the epistle in his usual manner, Re 3:21,22.

Prayer
Good Evening Everyone! Dear God, I thank you that I can trust in you completely, never having to worry or fret when troubling times come my way. Help me to remain at peace, O Lord, fully knowing that all will be well because you are with me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
August of 2022 is Halfway Gone!!
This Month of August 2022 is Half Way Gone!! By Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 18, 2022
This month is almost over. It is August 18, 2022. I have spent most of this month inside of the hospital. I had a Breakthrough Seizure. I will admit that a Breakthrough Seizure is not very easy to deal with. I have been taking my medications as prescribed by the doctor.
Next, I want to inform all of you that I am out of shape at the moment. I know that it has not been easy dealing with seizures in general. This means that I have electricity inside of my brain. I have gained 13 pounds in 4 weeks. I also will admit that I am taking 28 prescription medications. I know that one thing is that these medications are causing me to sleep entirely too much.
Further, I want to inform all of you that it is not easy dealing with sicknesses. I have to start getting back into shape. I want to inform all of you that I am gaining too much weight. The weight gain is causing me to slow down tremendously.
Moreover, I have a brother and a cousin that birthdays are coming up next week. I wish my brother and cousin the best of days. I really love spending so much time with my family. My family is very important to me. I have been hanging in there at the present time.
In Addition, I have to go back to the hospital next week. I have been trying to put things into a better perspective in my life. I am doing this by spending time with God in prayer. I have been sleeping entirely too much. I have been going to bed before 8:00PM. I wake up around 5:00AM to take my morning medications.
Frankly, I have been sad and depressed as of late. I know that my life has not been easy to deal with. The sun might be outside right now, but I have been feeling dismal at the moment. I have been happy inside, and sad on the outside. This means that I am feeling borderline depressed. As long as God is with me, I should not feel this way.
Finally, I want to inform all of you that I am feeling much better than I felt last week. Do you know that for the first few days inside of the hospital, I had to use a walker to walk with? It seems like whenever I have a seizure or a stroke, I lose my ability to walk. I want to also say that this month has came by so quickly that time waits on anyone.
In Conclusion, I want to allow everyone to please keep me in your prayers. I have been trying to take care of myself as best that I know how. This month has come and gone so quickly. Sooner or later, it will get cold again. This means that I will be spending most of my time inside of the house. I have to wear a coat again very soon. My family members and friends are concerned about me right now.
Subsequently, I have to purchase a brand-new wardrobe. I also need shoes and a very decent coat to wear. I know that I am a 57-year-old man, who is intelligent, bright, gifted, and honest. I am a person who has a lot of common sense. I am a person who has come a very long way academically.
I used to attend school and there were times when I did not go to school at all. I have to take my time with every single task. I have to start walking inside of my neighborhood. I know that my neighborhood is rough at the moment. I love all of you. I love Jesus Christ. I love God the Father. I love people as a whole. I would like to start praying in the morning, and read my Bible every single day of the week. I have been reading inside of the Book of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Lamentations. It is a start!! I read the Books of John and Romans as well.I love all of God’s Creation. I love people very much. I love animals very much. I love everything that God has created. I know that this month of August is almost over. I have to literally prepare myself for another winter. God has been blessing me each day of the week. God Bless All of You!!
Job 31:1 and What it means to all People.
John 14:1 And What It Means to All People?
By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins February 27, 2021
John 14:1 is a very interesting Bible verse. It says Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. When I think of this Bible verse, it comforts me. This is simply because God does not want any of us to be in trouble. The word troubled means mildly disturbed or distracted.
Next, I want to say to everyone that God loves you. God will not put anything on you that you cannot bear. It reminds me of the Bible verse that pertains to temptation. I know that my life has consisted of ups and downs. I have made my bed, and I have lain on top of it. Let’s look at this Bible verse for a moment. The first sentence says let not your heart be troubled. What does this mean to you? For me personally, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and of a sound mind. This is 2nd Timothy 1:7; When we fear, we sin against God.
Further, I want to inform all of you that I used to fear all people. When I was a child, I used to get beat up all of the time by the boy that stayed across the alley from me. I cannot mention his name because it would become a conflict of interest, and I can get into trouble. However, I used to fight my own family members as well. I have always lost all of my fights.
Moreover, I want to say that I have lost all of my fights because I was scared of everyone. I used to be scared of my own sister. I do recall winning some of my fights. Its that I suffered from stage fright. The definition of stage fright is: nervousness felt at appearing before an audience. The word fright means 1: fear excited by sudden danger: alarm gave me quite a fright. 2: something strange, ugly, or shocking. fright. verb. frighted; frighting; frights.
Currently, I do not have nothing to lose right now. I would prefer walking away from all of my confrontations. I am too emotional to do anything right now. I know that God is watching all of us.In Conclusion, I want to inform everyone that I am a God-Fearing Man. I know that I am powerless over people, places, and things. This is the truth!! The only person that I have power over is no one but myself. At least, I am able to control my emotions. My life at this time is very intriguing. For instance, I attend Church every week. I go to the library at least once per week. I write essays about the Lord. I write essays about what the Lord has done for me in my life. I really love people, animals, anl Please take care of yourselves, and stay safe!!
Another word for stage fright is Find another word for stage-fright. In this page you can discover 14 synonyms, antonyms, idiomatic expressions, and related words for stage-fright, like: freeze, spastic aphonia, aphonia, aphonia clericorum, aphonia paralytica, aphonia paranoica, bashfulness, buck-fever, butterflies, flop sweat and hysterical aphonia. To be honest, I used to be afraid of doing things in front of other people. I even got scared during my first amateur boxing match. I also will admit that I was scared when I was in jail on June 21, 1985.
In Addition, I was so scared of women as well as men. I do understand when a person defends themselves during a confrontation. In my case, I am a type of person who does not like to fight anyone. It will have to be in some extreme cases if I get into a fist fight with anyone. Therefore, my heart has been troubled numerous of times in my 55 years of existence. Naturally, I will not fight anyone. I would rather walk away.
Finally, when it comes to the sentence Let not your heart be troubled, to me it means that I have to allow God to fight all of my battles. This is because I actually cannot fight, but I will defend myself if necessary. I know how to box, but I would rather allow God to fight all of my battles. I will admit that I am literally scared of women. In a way, I guess, I am a big softie!! There are times when I will defend myself. As long as it is absolutely necessary.
Holy Spirit vs Mankind
The Holy Spirit vs Mankind
The purpose of this blog is to try to help those who understand God, and who has the Holy Spirit inside of us. Mankind believes in the things of man. I know that it is not very easy for any of us to understand God. I want to inform all of you that this is a battle between good vs evil. I would like to tell everyone that Mankind only lives in the moment. Romans 8:9 says you, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not. This means that God dwells inside of us. There are those who do not believe that they have God inside of them. Do you know that every time I type a blog, I usually start crying because it is God who is inside of me convicts me of all of my sins and forms of unrighteousness?
Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. God is responsible for changing me for the better. I still have a long way to go when it comes to my character. I know that I have a problem with people who are sarcastic and rebellious. The Lord has forgiven me. It is Jesus who is doing for me, more than I am doing for myself. The dove represents peace. It also represents the Holy Spirit. Mankind thinks of doves as just birds.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper. It guides us to the point where it gives us direction in advance. Mankind perceives the Helper as something that does not exist. I want to inform all of you that I am the type of person who loves God; a whole lot. If anyone gets sarcastic with me, I am prone to retaliate. The Lord is one who gives us grace and love in our personal lives.
The Helper is located in the 14th Chapter in the 26th verse but theThe Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to. Glory means that you want your life to be like God. According to Mankind, man places more emphasis on holidays and other things rather than God. Mankind always makes decisions that goes against God. Mankind always does the things of the world for their own gratification. Man goes against God Isaiah 59:2.
Man tends to make decisions to always stray away from God. The Holy Spirit grieves while inside of man. Romans 8:26 says we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. New Living Translation and the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. The Holy Spirit dwells inside of us for the rest of our lives. However, God will let you live all by yourself in a reprobate mind when it comes to Romans 1:28-32.

1st Thessalonians 5:19
Romans 11:27: And What it Means to all people. By Anthony Joseph Hopkins June 25, 2021
Romans 11:27 says; For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. This means that we are operating under a brand-new covenant. A covenant is an agreement between God and mankind. He shall take away their sins. Only God and Jesus Christ, the son who died for the sins of all mankind. Only God shall forgive all of our sins. I thank God for allowing me to see my 56th Birthday yesterday.
Although I was sick earlier in this week, I thank God for allowing me to feel better from constipation. I also want to thank God for allowing my baby brother to live after suffering from a heart attack yesterday as well. I thank you Lord Jesus for saying the serenity prayer to a young lady, who was grieving over the death of her Uncle as well. I thank you Lord Jesus for allowing me to type this essay today.
Next, I want to thank you Lord Jesus and the Father God for being with me throughout my journey. I want to say that Jesus is the Mediator between God and man. I know that I pray every single day. I also attend Church as well. Lord Jesus, I need a miracle in my life right now. I am still sick from being constipated for the past 4 days. I am happy that you have saved me from my sickness. I also thank you for saving my little brother.
Moreover, to all of the stress that I had to deal with in my own family. I thank you for allowing me to cover my sins. Lord Jesus, when it comes to sin, only you are able to save the entire world. Lord Jesus, I love you very much. I thank you for loving me all of my entire life. I thank you Lord for being there for all of my family members, friends, and for those that I do not know. I want to thank you for saving me from myself, and protecting me from all harm. Dear Lord Jesus, please save the Cab Driver’s father right now. He is in a coma at Grandview Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.
Lord, please heal her and her family members. Lord Jesus, please save all of the residents of the Miami Florida Condominium. So far at least 4 people died yesterday into today after rescue efforts for the missing people.
Finally, I want to thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. I thank you for saving my brother yesterday from his heart attack. Lord Jesus, I thank you for allowing me to live 56 years on earth. I might not now who my father is right now, but I have a loving family and friends who love me for me. Lord Jesus, I want to thank you for saving all of us out of our slumber.
Lord Jesus, you are the mediator between God and mankind. I love you very much. I will not forget what you have done for me in my entire life. You also saved me from all of my enemies and from my own health problems. Thank you for keeping it real with me for 55 years of living.
A New Spirit Vs The World!!
A New Spirit vs The World
A New Spirit vs The World is a comparison and contrast paper consisting of things from a Biblical perspective. First, I would like to say that I am a Born- Again Christian, who is 7 years old. My Chronological age is 57. This means that I have been living in the world for a half century. I have emphasized the Bible verse in Ezekiel 36:25-27 simply because God has given me a new heart, and He has cleansed me from all forms of unrighteousness. I also asked the Lord to give me a brand- new heart, and remove my heart of stone that I have possessed for 50 years.
Second, I want to say that the world does not have anything to offer, but more immorality. I want to mention that I have done things that were very bad. I will admit that I have broken promises and did things that were bad inside of the eyes of God. For Instance, I have taken drugs for a period of my life. I will tell you that Satan is the Prince of the Powers of the air.
Third, I want to say that Romans 12:2 has been emphasized because I was responsible for conforming to the patterns of the world. I will admit that I used to go inside of the streets in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio and glorified the women who were inside of nightclubs. To put all of this together, I would like to say that the world belongs to Satan and his demonic spirits who were kicked out of heaven.
Fourth, I would like to say that I have been confused at one point in my life and perhaps blind inside of my eyes and mind by Satan for 50 years. I walked around lost and I will admit to be spiritually blind as well. I am happy that God has saved me from myself and others. The Lord has been good to me for over 7 years now.
I know that this world will mess you up completely, and it will cause you to run directly to God. I am very happy to be saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has shed His Blood for me and my fellow believers. I am the type of person who used to rationalize, and try my very best to justify why I did and did not do things wrong. Therefore, I used to lie, cheat, deceive others, and steal if necessary. Those are some of the things that I have done in my personal past. Right now, I tell the truth about everything.
Fifth, I want to say that I believe in the Biblical and the Post- Modern Jesus at the same exact time. I am still learning things about myself that God is giving me understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and common sense. I am very happy that I am attending Church on a regular basis. The world does not have anything to offer me, but more sin. I have to make the proper adjustments in my -overall behavior through the help of my personal Savior Jesus Christ.
The World only have karma, many other Gods, and plenty of money to try to persuade you to join. The world will make you think that life is good without Jesus Christ. I want to inform everyone that when I was living inside of the world, I was easing God out of my life. I know that I still have a very long way to go when it comes to my journey in Christ Jesus. I love all of God’s creation. I want to say to everyone to please come to Jesus Christ because He is the way, truth, and the life.
Jesus Christ is the only way. I will always believe in things that are pleasing to God. I think Godly and forgive others whenever they hurt me. I also do things that are pleasing to God. I do my very best to change my overall behavior.
Finally, I want to say to everyone please pray for me because I suffer from multiple health problems. The reason why I suffer from all of these problems because I was running to the hospital all of the time; when things got difficult. I was running away from all of my problems; even if it is all of my fault. I ran away from all of my problems until it was time for me to redeem myself. I would like for everyone to please pray for my hometown of Dayton, Ohio because a total of 15 tornadoes came through and done a lot of damage to certain parts of my hometown. This took place on Memorial Day of 2019. I love all of you!!
