DSTV Porn????

Dear Friends,

DSTV (satelite) are considering a Porn channel. There are so many things wrong in our country when it comes to women being abused and men abusing power. We only need to look at our president to see that it can produce a lot of problems. An entire channel of the stuff will create even more mayhem and destroy families along the way.
If you are not sure about that, then let me tell you that it nearly destroyed me and my marriage. I used to spend every waking moment of my day looking for another moment to see some more. I even stayed at home to make time for it. I started to treat my wife differently and we started arguing a lot more. Then I started to loose my job and eventually I got to the point were I just could not get enough.

4 years ago I made a choice to follow Jesus and every moment since then has been a battle against the images and visions that have been engrained into my mind. I have had to unlearn all this stuff and I have had to mentally focus my mind to keep my mind on the right things. Today my marriage is blossoming and my job is increasing exponentially. I even have debts being cleared for me, even though I wanted to pay them. I have two daughters and I am not the same man I used to be, thank God, all because I decided that Jesus could offer me a better life and He did.

I am asking you to help me fight against DSTV putting up a porn channel. Here is the article and the Survey you can fill out. Porn is a silent killer. It destroys minds quietly and the worst part is that not even the person viewing it realizes it. I can personally tell you that this is true.

Stand by me and help those who may be in the same situation I was in.

Yours Sincerely

The 40th Wedding Anniversary presentation. A love only 40 years young!

Stephenson 40th wedding anniversay. what an inspiration.

"a love 40 years young"
Those were the words on the presentation. It was a close gathering of family and friends. Everyone was very excited. The venue was really nice and the food was good. There was a presentation with a history of their lives in photos. It was absolutely AWESOME. We all wanted to know what their secret was.

It is so rare to find two people who are willing to grit their teeth and keep going through the tough times no matter what. He was an alcoholic for many years and now he is having his 40th wedding anniversary completely dry and loving it. There were many times when the average person today would just have quit, but my mother in law saw it through.

We need more people in this age who are prepared to take responsibility for their vows and live by what they say in them.

What a mighty inspiration.

Some pictures include the three daughters and some grand children who were there as well.
What a blessing.

Princess Joy! This was the sight I came home to today.

What a blessing it is to have a day filled with work and then come home to this wonderful sight. Praise God for His plan for a family to build each other up.
