Developing a Millennial Mentality A Class I gave as a guest speaker in the Winter of 1999. I was concerned because so many people were frightening over the Y2K possibility. After much prayer and research I became convinced that the Lord's message for the Millennium is one of joyful anticipation not fearful trauma. The realization hit me that our children were not only born for these last days but those same children were also born for the beautiful first days that lie ahead. Be happy!

When Satan is bound in a single home --
When Satan is bound in a single life --
The Millennium has already begun in that home, in that life.

Ten Children Born of Courage and Faith Index After the premature birth and death of our first baby I was told that all my babies would be premature and probably all die. To have my children I would go to bed/couch at 15 weeks and stay there until 38 weeks. Nine more children were born to me and only one of those was premature, 10 weeks early. Eight of my children were born at home and one was a requested c-section and incredibly, one of the most spiritual events of my life.
