As a parent, we always need to remind ourselves that only our Christ-like life changes our children, not our preaching.
If Your Wife Says This – – –
Someone dropped this poster in my inbox and I laughed very hard. Why? It has some truth.
When an argument or a conflict erupts between a husband and a wife, I believe a man has to be very wise from which side he has to present his case.
Most of us women are very good at remembering events that happened ten or twenty five years ago; but not our husbands. We can remember because we tend to “tag” every event with emotion; which is a big help for our brain to retrieve past stories quickly and very easily. Our men, on the other hand, usually don’t tag events with “Oh, my! I love that!” Or “Aww! That is awesome!” Or, “My! That deeply hurt my feeling and I don’t think I will ever forget it” kind of emotion. So, it is easy for them to forget it.
Marriage Counseling on Skype
I don’t know how many of you know this but I do “marriage counseling” on Skype. I began giving this service a couple years ago and it’s been working perfectly for me and the people I serve. This service is only available to those who live in America, Europe and Australia because there is fee for the service and the payment can only be processed online through the PayPal mobile pay service. Here are the two letters from the people I counseled recently and in the process of counseling:
From Denver, Colorado
“We were so blessed to have Skype counseling with Dr. Missy. First, it was in the convenience of our home & we didn’t have to go anywhere. The Skype counseling was as if we were in one room with her. For someone, like my husband, who was hesitant to seek counseling, Skype counseling was the best choice for us.
I Forgot to Say this, Didn’t I?
Oops! I got sidetracked and completely forgot to mention this for the last three or four days. My! Where did the time go? I’m not really sure.
Anyways, here is the message I forgot to mention for the last three days:
Sex before marriage comes in a package with death; death in different “shapes and sizes” such as depression, being haunted by suicidal thoughts, despair, loneliness, sleeplessness, hopelessness, feeling of emptiness, sexually transmitted disease (STD), fear, guilt, shame, regret, loss of joy and peace, loss of opportunity to get married, loss of love, passion and sensitivity to the Spirit and Word of God, sexual dysfunction, and the list goes on and on and on.
Got the Word of God today?
Jesus once said: “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:47-51)
Jesus is our Manna we need to eat day in and day out for us to live in Him. Jesus is the Word of God. (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1, 14; Revelation 19:13)
Meditate the Word Day and Night. Why?
That is the only way we can grow in Christ-likeness. Otherwise we only carry the name “Christian” and live like pagans who have no God.
So, repetition is the only way we live Christianity. We need to read the Word again and again; think about it again and again; preach it to our own hearts again and again. Then the Word takes over our lives. ///
Blessed is – Who?
“Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.” (Psalm 1:1-3)
If blessed is this kind of person; a person who is not blessed is the opposite of the person who is described above.
Meditate the Word of God DAY AND NIGHT so that you will be blessed. ///
Another Wonderful Opportunity
God is good all the time; and all the time, God is good!
Here again God opened another door for me to travel to another city to worship Him with His people.

If you don’t live around Lancaster area but knows someone who does, invite them over on my behalf. For more info about this conference, call the number you see on the flyer.
“In fourth grade – – – I was raped by several men”
Sometimes when we see someone acting out sexually in the most heinous way possible, it is good to ask, “What must have happened to this person for him/her to embrace this kind of lifestyle?”
This young man was beyond anybody’s reach; but compassionate people, people who have tasted and seen the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ and the power of the Blood of Jesus; people who themselves had led sinful lifestyles but were salvaged by the grace of God, were able to reach out to him. They were able to see this wounded person beyond his lifestyle through the love of Jesus Christ they themselves have experienced in their lives.

The Song that Touched my Heart
Oh, how I love this song. I love it because I see Christ all over it; I see the grace and mercy of God that is revealed on the Cross of Jesus Christ; a merciful God we all need in everyday of our lives.
Isn’t what the Gospel is all about!
Yes, I was touched to the core of my being by this video the night I saw it; and every time I see it, I can’t resist the urge to love and worship Jesus Christ in whom I live, move and have my being.
Thank you Pastor Tekeste Getnet.
