His Spirit lives in US, If anyone defiled the temple, him shall God destroy (Gen.2:17). Adam lost his connection with God when he disobeyed, causing death.

And a JUBILEE it was indeed! I cried big tears as the show unfolded. THANK YOU to all the wonderful Dazzle Dance dance moms and dance dads who have supported us this...
