MY NAME IS ANN MARIE TURNER. For those of you who used to know me long ago, I was Ann Marie Schacher. I grew up in South Saint Paul, Minnesota, went to South Saint Paul High School, colleges at Inver Hills Community College and Maranatha College in Brooklyn Park. AS YOU OPEN UP JOYETERNALMINISTRIES (Joy Eternal Ministries) you will daily see this article. I do this to help my readers get acquainted with my style. To…..
Psalm 22:25-28 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows. The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him—may your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. Isaiah 9:6 For…..
THIS IS A STORY I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT WRITING FOR A LONG TIME… And it is an impressive one! Ruby was a friend of my mom’s. I knew her when I was a little child.

All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because I love the Lord and listen to Him, He guides me…..

CERTAIN TIMES? AM I CERTAIN? How can I, or anyone in their God-given mind, deservedly say: “Don’t worry! We are living in certain times!”!? And if so, how could we possibly be right? Look around. Are we now living in uncertain times? That’s what most people seem to think… Doesn’t it seem to you that everything is shaky? Families out of control? Kids on drugs?
