Testimony
"I was a lost soul, yearning to follow, serve and worship something, anything, to fill the void that existed deep in side. I stumbled upon your lectures and have learned that what I sought was not something or anything, but God, the Almighty, Himself.
Your lectures enlightened me in a way that my words could never, ever, justify. I felt like you gave me the directions home, where I belong. Following the footsteps of Jesus Christ, doing the will of God, the Father.
You have given this broken man his life and purpose back. Thank you, and God Bless You. "

An Attitude of Gratitude
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth up the bones." - King Solomon
Gratitude is a choice to be thankful and count life's blessings rather than to dwell on troubles and hardships. Choosing to be thankful for the good things in life promotes a happier frame of mind.To practice this, make a list every night of at least ten things for which you are thankful. Gratitude will do wonders for any relationship. Expressing thanks to God fosters trust and love for Him.

Placebos are commonly used to test new medicines. One group is given the new drug while the other is given a useless look-alike. Placebo subjects often report results as good or better than those receiving the real medicine Mental outlook has a powerful influence on physical health. Attitude can make the difference in recovery from a major illness.
Grief, anxiety, discontent, remorse, guilt, distrust, anger, fear, and resentment cause stress and wear down the body, resulting in a weakened immune system and poor health. Courage, hope, faith, sympathy, love, contentment, forgiveness, joy, and gratitude promote health and prolong life.
