In the first 5 episodes of our "Communicating with God" series we talked about the article, 8 Signs Your Relationship Could Have Better Communication by Natalia Lusinski. Today we get to focus on the solutions: 4 ways to improve our communication. The song we used in this episode was the "Theme from The Godfather". We also referred to this article by Natalia Lusinski: https://www.bustle.com/articles/111047-8-signs-your-relationship-could-have-better-communication-and-how-to-get-that. We don't ow...

From racism and riots to stresses and viruses, there are a lot of things out there today that can bring fear and anxiety to anybody's minds and hearts. That's why we brought back Nena McCaffrey for another episode to talk about just that, because with a little help, fears and worries are some things we can learn how to handle. Why live in fear and sadness when we can live Happy and free instead? We are so convinced of this that we will be starting a regular podcast and video chat with Nena to te...

If J.C. is in the house, it's one thing, but if J.C. is in the van, it's a different thing all together. Which one do you have? This episode we continue on with our communicating with God (Prayer Meetin') series. We will hit 3 more myths/mistakes of prayer. 1) We are not alone no matter what it feels like. 2) We spend too much time letting others tell us who or what God is instead of meeting Him ourselves. 3) We often replace intimacy with instruction. Here is a link to the article we used; http...

God doesn't want to control us, He wants to help us. After digging into J.P. Sears' YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vnKPdMXIdo, we will see that God not only wants us to dream, He wants to help us with those dreams. He respects and adores us just the way we are! God doesn't want us to become like someone else, He simply wants us to be the US He made us to be and to communicate with Him like we would with a friend.

Not only is our view of God the most important perception we will ever have, but it will entirely affect the way we pray...I mean Communicate with God.

Talking is not always communicating. Sometimes it's just jabbering away at each other. Prayer is supposed to be about connecting and communicating with the creator of the universe as well as the creator of us.

Happy day after Easter. Would you rather live an open life or a closed one? A Happy life or an angry one? A generous life or a stingy one? The choice is ours. We are the presidents of our life. When are we going to take care of our virus so we can open our lives up? COVID-19 isn't the only scary virus out there. Racism, hatred, panic, anger and bitterness are just a few viruses that will keep us quarantined and stop us from living an open life. www.HappyLife.lol www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios...

Road tripping, 80's music...and Jesus??? What in the world do those 3 have in common?!? To be honest? Everything! I grew up in church believing I hated prayer. However, after a road trip and the 80's station on sirius, I realized it wasn't prayer I disliked, it was the way I was taught I was supposed to pray I couldn't stand. If I knew prayer could look like it did on my road trip, I would have become a "prayer warrior" a long time ago. Wait...prayer can be fun and God loves 80's music??? Yep! J...

COVID-19...you don't win. We do! We will be better after facing you and we will triumph! I know many are talking about this pandemic, and many are tired of hearing about it.

Happy or not here I come. When I played Hide and Seek with my kids I would always slow down my count until my boys were ready. Life however, doesn't always play that way. It doesn't wait for us to get Happy or ready before it comes at us full force. So what do you do when life hits unexpectedly? Here is 1 picture, 1 verse and 1 video that helped me get through that very thing this week. I'm hoping they will help you as well.
