When Jose Reyes Pempengco was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his abdomen, he underwent radiation treatment and was soon cancer-free. Thankfully the cancer had been caught at an early stage. But the radiated area slowly grew into a calcified mass, and in 2014 the mass became infected and had to be surgically removed. The initial surgery went well, but when the incision site was almost healed, suddenly it began to bleed severely, causing the author to bleed out and die. The author went home to heaven and then returned to his body. He brought back a message to help people rightly prepare their souls for eternity. Our souls are more valuable than all the wealth in the world. We need to consider the state of our own souls, for there is True Life After Life in eternity.
Parenting…no experience necessary, no success guaranteed.Today you have to be licensed and trained to do carpentry work, to install plumbing, to practice nursing and to drive a car. Yet it is assumed that if and when someone becomes a parent, they will vicariously have the tools necessary to raise children.Bookstores are filled with books directed at acquiring the skills needed to teach little Johnny how to make his bed, how to grow up gluten free and how to be a math wizard by second grade. Yet few books are written for parents to show them how to be parents as opposed to how to do parent skills and tricks.Fifty percent of American parents grew up in broken and dysfunctional homes and received precious little parental training. Call Me Dad; Five Steps To Becoming The Parent You Never Had, was written with them in mind as a primer on how to become a great parent in spite of their past.
It shall come to pass if you will not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to learn and to do all of his command which I command you this day, that all these. That all these curses shall come upon you and overtake. Curse shall you be in the city and in the field. Curse shall be the fruit of your body (this means your kids are under the curse if you are not obedient to God). Cursed shall you be when you come in and cursed shall you be when you go out. The Lord will send out on you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, and everything that you set your hands to do, until you be destroyed because of the wickedness of your doings whereby you have forsaken God. Pestilence will become your friend, cancer and fever will kill you.Deuteronomy 28:15-44 explains all the curses that was removed when Jesus died on the cross.
