Summary

”The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?” The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.” So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous.“ ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ When we think of leaders of the Bible I think a few specifics come up. Moses, David, Joseph and of course Jesus. Have you ever taken a second to think about the leadership and courage it took for these midwives? While reading this scripture it was very clear to me that these midwives played a BIG role in the story of Moses. If not for their obedience to God he may not have survived. If not for their courage from God many other young babies would have been gone forever. Yet knowing Pharaoh was frightening their faith in God was stronger. Join in today and hear a few ways the midwives showed up and changed the course of history through Gods prompting. Take a moment to breath out all your doubts, breath in Gods love and let’s get to it! Many blessings to you all!

Memoir on the Life and Character of the Rev. Prince Demetrius A. de Gallitzin, A by Thomas Heyden (1798 - 1870) LibriVox Prince Demetrius of Gallitzin (1770-1840), or "Father Smith," as he was known on the eighteenth century American frontier, was one of the glories of early Catholicism in America. Though a prince by birth, Demetrius discreetly concealed the glory of his earlier life that he might better lead his adopted spiritual children to the glory of eternal life. For more than four decades, he humbly provided for the spiritual needs of courageous pioneers scattered throughout the Allegheny Mountains of central Pennsylvania. For this reason he is affectionately remembered as "The Apostle of the Alleghenies." His missionary colleague and protege, Father Thomas Heyden of Bedford, Pennsylvania, offers this touching but brief memoir culled from a treasure trove of documents entrusted to his care following the death of Father Demetrius. creation podcasts: socomardi Galaxy Following the success of last year�s SoCo Social Mardi Gras Tour Southern Comfort are bringing Mardi Gras back to the UK for 2009.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith... Sakro Sawel Sakro Sawel Sakro Sawel means "sacred sun" in Proto-Indo-European.In this audio series, Lara Atwood explores the ancient religion of the sun that was taken around the world following the catastrophe at the end of the last ice age (around 9,600 BC) by the legendary sages and civilizers recorded in world mythology. This religion was central to a global culture that then diffused throughout the world, and which was behind the building of many megalithic sites across the globe. This religion also carried some of the greatest spiritual wisdom the world has ever known and was said to be the knowledge from a prior human age. Lara believes it is key to understanding our ancient past, who we are, and why we're here. In this series she explores its mythology, wisdom, history, and archaeology, and also its revival in the modern day.
