HOW FINANCIAL SECRECY CAN DESTROY A HOME

                                                                                                      One Thing That Destroys Homes O ne thing I understand destroys home faster than infidelity is financial secrecy. You are not having an affair yet it seem like you are. You have being faithful to her, since you responded “I do” on the altar on that beautiful wedding day, yet she doubts your allegiance to her. So why would you blame your partner for her sarcasm and suspicion.

Surprising, from the rare, one said "my hero is my sister" and just then came this shocking response "my hero is Chris Brown". Now at this point, one of the children turned towards him in great bewilderment and asked him; why is Chris Brown your hero? Then he asked him "why is Chris Brown your Hero" and the confident boy innocently responded, "I just like him because he is successful". I marveled but kept calm about his response as I allowed the question to go round the group. This story brings us to the question, who is your child's hero? You really need to know! Children learn through imitation and whoever a child li
