True Love: Husband donates his kidney to save wife


PJ Sapprins was disappointed to learn that after losing 70lbs to donate his kidney to his wife Tracy, he wouldn't be able to because his blood pressure was to high to perform the operation.

The couple from Birmingham, Alabama, were told Tracy life-long battle with lupus was going to kill her if she doesn't get a transplant. 
The waiting list for Tracy to be eligible for a kidney transplant was seven years.

PJ refused to give up and he started a relentless fitness regime which paid cause in December of 2014, he got the good news that he can go ahead and the operation was scheduled for February.

The couple both successfully had their surgery on 24th February together.

According to Tracy "The way my kidney function now is, it's at 100%. And the best it has ever been."

"It has just been amazing to know that I did everything I could to give my wife a better quality of life is just a better feeling. I'm happy," PJ said. 

The couple friends have set up a fund to financially support them during the two-months period they need for recovery before they get back to work.

Then she asked a simple question, "How can this be?" Mary didn't question God's call on her life. She only asked for clarification. She wanted to understand the mechanics of how something that seemed in opposition to natural law could be accomplished. Once the angel answered that question, she yielded herself totally to God's plan. I can imagine that if an angel appeared to a teenage girl today with this shocking news - you're going to have a baby, although you are a virgin and unwed - there would be numerous questions or an exclamation of "No way!" I'm sure Mary realized the potential problems inherent in G...

Help! God is Punishing Me for My Poor Choices

Let say you're a believing single christian, praying to God for a life partner. You meet someone you're attracted and interested in, who claims to be on the same faith level as you; deep within your spirit mind you can tell that something don't quite add up. You ignore every warning sign by the Holy Spirit!  You date and finally married this person and then realize the person was not truly who he/she claimed to be all along.  You find yourself in a miserable marriage that you consider a living hell; then you start believing that since you disobeyed the warnings of the spirit of God, it was all your fault. God is punishing you for making the wrong choice and the least you can do is to accept the circumstance the way it is.  The truth is God does not punish us for the poor choices we make.  II Peter3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises, as some understand slowness. Instead HE is patient with you, not wanting anyone to p...
