{From the Archives of Connie's Letters. December 2012.}
I never learned one spiritual thing from folks feelin' sorry for me, or on a bed of ease. I think I learned most of what I know from the hard times.
When I would go up for a prison visit, I would ask Jim how he was doing? He would say "Just doin' time. . . Hard time.." And it was hard...but in those times we learned how to follow Jesus. . . I did go through the fire. . and it was hot with many trials . . But I feel that the Lord rewarded me and gave me more peace then what a lot of folks have.
I am very peaceful here at home. . . I just feel the angels around me. I feel God's love surrounding me. . . If I do get down or depressed, I just read my Bible until I feel better.
But it is the truth that will set us free and nothing else. . . And if a true believer tells us something to help us, we should listen. . . I have been praying so hard lately. I can see that I have gotten so generic lately.
Ya know I like Benny Hinn, the TV evangelist? I don't get him on my TV lately as I don't have cable. . . But I used to have cable and I would watch him here and there . . . And as I was watching him one day I said out loud, "Ya know if the preacher would ask the audience, 'How many here need healing of the body?' I bet it would be about a fourth, maybe, of the people need healing of the body. . . But then if Pastor Hinn asked, 'How many folks need a healing for their broken families?' I would imagine about the whole audience would need a healing for the family. . . Because the TRUTH is not told."
Christians are running around marrying and divorcing like crazy. And then after a divorce, Mother has to go work and the children's lives are turned upside down. . . And ya know Benny and his wife separated . . . then in 2010 they divorced. . . But just lately they went back together. I think the Lord allowed this to happen to the Hinn family because it won't be long and he and his family will be preaching about the restoration of the family. Now we will get somewhere in the body of believers.
This is why I feel so thankful that Mrs. Nancy Campbell put my testimony on her Facebook again and I was able to update it. Because, to me, the message on the healing of the marriage has got to be the message of the hour. . .
