@WomnOfValor What a wonderful story. O too had a father who put God and his family first and instilled the faith I have today. Dads are so important and them showing up truly makes a world of difference. God bless you and yours
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Stanley Praimnath was at work on the 81st floor of the World Trade Center’s South Tower when he witnessed an American Airlines jet heading directly toward his building.
In a split-second decision, he prayed and took cover under his desk just as the plane struck the tower above his office level.
The collision tore a hole in the wall behind him and sucked out almost everything in his office, leaving only his desk, which providentially protected him from the ensuing fire and debris.
Trapped amidst the wreckage, Stanley’s pleas for help were heard by Brian Clark, another survivor, who bravely came to his aid.
Together, they navigated the stairs and managed to flee the building mere minutes before it collapsed. Stanley attributes his miraculous survival to divine intervention and sees Brian as a lifelong friend.
Following this life-changing experience, Stanley turned to pastoral work and motivational speaking, maintaining a deep friendship with Brian.
@niccoyat I honestly don’t spend that much time looking at a cover. Now if the writing on page one is garbage that’s a different story. If you use poor grammar and your writing style is reminiscent of a high English project then I’m out cool book cover or not.
I just heard that Israel has cut off the water supply into Gaza, which is horrifying and could create a deeper humanitarian crisis. It is also a reminder of the imbalance of power in this ongoing conflict.
And here is an important reminder to any Christian who might be inclined to think of Palestinians as the “enemy.” This is the command of Scripture: “If your enemy is hungry, feed them; if your enemy is thirsty, give them something to drink.”
That’s how Scripture teaches us to treat others, even someone we consider an “enemy.” We cannot love our enemies as Christ commands, and simultaneously prepare to kill them.
A poem I wrote about the freedom I found in Christ. Even though I am confined to a body with chronic illness, still with my eyes on Christ I am free. #freedom#Christ#chronicillness#hope
Race to Maturity, Paul Washer. This is an important message we all need to hear. We need to mature as #Christian putting away childish thing as Paul taught, and rise to live a life worthy of Christ and His sacrifice for our sins. #Christianity

My zeal for God is fueled by the high octane gasoline of gratitude. Look at what Spurgeon says of it:
“A deep sense of gratitude will nourish Christian zeal. Looking to the hole of the pit whence we were digged, we find abundant reason why we should spend and be spent for God. And zeal is also stimulated by the thought of the eternal future. It looks with tearful eyes down to the flames of hell, and it cannot slumber: it looks up with anxious gaze to the glories of heaven, and it cannot but bestir itself. It feels that time is short compared with the work to be done, and therefore it devotes all that it has to the cause of its Lord. And it is ever strengthened by the remembrance of Christ's example. He was clothed with zeal as with a cloak. How swift the chariot-wheels of duty went with him! He knew no loitering by the way. Let us prove that we are his disciples by manifesting the same spirit of zeal.”
