Her family and friends had written off the possibility of her ever getting married and even when she did, she almost lost the first child whom she was clutching.
Since then, Son Shine has been emailed weekly (often on Thursday) to encourage the hopeless, tell of the extraordinary power of the Almighty God, give account of the triumph of faith and the interventions of God in the affairs of men, focus on various issues of life, highlight mysterious happenings in lives, and speak of courage in the face of odds…

Cushioning Cush
(When Unlikely
Candidates Soar)
He was born cursed!
Noah had done the perfect, the expected, the usual.
