Hello. I found this website in the early hours of my quiet time with God and I do not know how I found it exactly but I was hooked. I am in the middle of being the offended in infidelity in my marriage. I do not know which direction to go. Stay? Leave? No children they are grow. A realized these were like journal entries and I have been journaling off and on for 30 yrs. What caught my attention then was the Ad with Sister Laura's "5 Things Jesus Did Not Say" I read another entry and another. I felt like she knew me n was sent to touch me today. I thank God for Laurie and I am assuming it was her and Doug or just Doug who put this online. Thank you for doing this. You helped a very confused, sad, hurt, and very in need of direction. These entries have shown me things about myself and how the world is sneaky. The world tricks us in life being about ourselves. I am isolated because of my health so Thank You again for "Instructions For Life" it helped someone today greatly. I wish I knew how to do it without having to pay anything. I am disabled with not a lot of money monthly. Love in Christ, Danielle Link
