Heir Force is a Bible curriculum that teaches that God the Father sent his only Son, Jesus, to earth to pay a debt we couldnt pay through his life, death, and resurrection. God the Father appointed Jesus to be heir of all things and seated him at his right hand. All who believe what Jesus did for us by dying in our place and confess their sins to him and ask for his forgiveness are made joint-heirs with Jesus. God has given us the power to become the sons of God! Along lifes journey, we will, as believers, be faced with many joys and trials. Heir Force is analogous with living life before the Lord like we are in basic training or in boot camp. God is our commanding officer. Jesus is the perfect soldier. The Holy Spirit lives in us. The Bible is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We are to love the Lord with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. Ephesians 6:1013 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. The lessons of this curriculum will direct our hearts and minds to the precepts and principles that God teaches through the Bible.
A guide of alternatives to traditional funerals, commemorating lost loved ones in a meaningful, personal way. Today, many people are forgoing the trappings and timeworn rituals of typical funerals, and are instead opting to celebrate their loved ones’ lives.

Her direct and warm advice is a fabulous resource.
