To be a star is not the same thing as being called a star. E.g., The leader of the patriots in the second Jewish War, A.D. 130-135, Bar Kosba, ...read more

    This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more
