I've been married twice and divorced twice. I'm not proud of it and yet neither am I ashamed. It is just the road life has taken me along. I was brought up in a strictly christian home where the thought of divorce was something to be avoided at all costs. My father was a difficult man (what man isn't) his was because of mental health problems and my mother did in fact talk about divorce but, I think, not seriously. I certainly intended to stay married to my first husband come what may and succeeded for 28 years. I will not go into the details of what happened but I married another man and after 8 years found this impossible to live with. Being a caring person I now have two men to worry about. However I feel I now have a huge advantage as a preacher in that I can relate to today's people and understand some of their problems and as I have experienced the Lord's forgiveness in my life, I can assure others that they too can receive this forgiveness.There is no longer any room in my life for feeling superior to the non christian. I am not without sin, I dare not cast the first stone.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
