SOMETIMES YOU ASK FOR IT; sometimes you don’t.
For example: my HELP FOR THE HUSBAND and ADVICE FOR THE WIFE articles are always up to the individual if they are interested in reading them. I do love to write them and I have been married to the same man since 1979! I think (and know) I am worth listening to.

But when you don’t want advice, or help, don’t seek it, don’t take it.
NOTE: The Bible, however, is where you must balance your life. Your values must align with God and His written Word or you are in peril! Simply the truth…
As I’ve been writing, sometimes my family members will tell me what I should do. I always measure their advice, their suggestions, with my soul. My husband recently came up with a great idea I practically immediately embraced regarding my Bible quizzes. Post the questions, telling the reader the answers will follow in one week. Hopefully they will research (if they don’t already know) the answers. I loved that idea / suggestion and I will do it.
At a later date, both my husband and my son suggested one of my answers be from a historical source other than the bible: I pretty much immediately nixed that proposal. My Bible quizzes have answers that come only out of the Bible itself. No other source will do…

Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
