Rise and Shine for Jesus "Pressure of Popularity" By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Mom, could you help me with this?" "Honey, could you stop off at the bank today?" "You hadn't called home in so long your father and I thought you'd forgotten about us!" "Could you pray with me, I'm having a hard time with...." "If you’re not busy tonight, we'd love to have you over for dinner and some fellowship." "HI! It's me, wanna talk?" "About that devotional you need to share....." "Could you cook and deliver a dinner for the new family?" "Mom, we're going to be late for piano lessons!" Does any of this sound familiar to you, ladies?

Don't be ignorant of the devil's devices.
