ENGLISH: When the Holy Spirit Releases a Gift of Healing Through an Ordinary Believer El Espíritu Santo quiere usar a creyentes comunes de maneras poderosas. En 1 Corintios 12, Pablo escribe que los dones espirituales están destinados a todo el cuerpo. Todo creyente que está lleno del Espíritu Santo tiene al menos un don sobrenatural, que incluye los “dones de sanidad” en el versículo 9. Cuando Myles Seely, de 13 años, nació, tenía una condición hereditaria que ha afectado a la familia: Enfermedad Poliquística Renal Autosómica Dominante. Su riñón derecho también estaba gravemente dañado por reflujo y no había crecido, y su riñón izquierdo estaba agrandado debido a un quiste. Su familia asiste a la Iglesia Radiant Springs en Crete, Nebraska, donde recientemente han sido testigos de una serie de milagros de sanidad. A los padres de Myles les dijeron que su hijo necesitaría un trasplante de riñón y, de hecho, fue puesto en la lista de espera a los 10 años. En Nebraska, un trasplante de riñón puede tardar hasta cinco años. La familia dudaba …

Jon Hamm Compares Don Draper to Coop With ‘Friends & Neighbors’ S2 Return

Jon Hamm Compares Don Draper to Coop With ‘Friends & Neighbors’ S2 Return

Published by Daniella Wilson

Between Mad Men and Your Friends and Neighbors, no one can down (fake) whiskey like Jon Hamm. (The “scotch” in Your Friends & Neighbors is actually iced tea or water with caramel food coloring, depending on the actor drinking it.) Though his Apple TV character Andrew Cooper prefers to drink aged scotch, Hamm — and Coop, for that matter — wouldn’t want to go all the way back to the stuff they drank midday at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. The 1960s may have been groovy (though, again, not really at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce), but the liquor was shit. “Don Draper drank Canadian Club, which is sort of a bargain-basement blended rye,” Hamm’s told The Hollywood Reporter during our conversation that was ostensibly about Your Friends & Neighbors season two. “Coop drinks Macallan 25, which is like $5,000 a bottle. I’ve had both of them — Macallan is much better.” Same, except I’m pretty sure I’m personally topped out at Macallan 18. Feel free to send a 25-year-old (bottle), Apple — you’ve got the money. …

Don Lemon Considers Running for President in 2028

Don Lemon Considers Running for President in 2028

Published by Daniella Wilson

Are you ready for “Lemon 2028” lawn signs? Don Lemon says he thinks about running for president — and would do a much better job than Donald Trump. The former CNN anchor said on the Pod Save America podcast that he could be down to become commander in chief. “So do I ever think about [running for office]?” Lemon mused. “Yes. Could it happen? Yeah, it could happen — if the right opportunity presented itself. I know people are going to think I’m crazy. This is going to be the headline, and people are going to laugh about it: I think I could be president of the United States. I could definitely run this country better than Donald Trump.” “Why can’t I think about running for office?” the 60-year-old continued. “Why can’t I think about being president of the United States? Did anybody think Barack Obama — as he says, ‘This guy with a funny name, from a mixed background’ — that he would become president? I don’t have an aspiration to become president. But …

Don Lemon Claims US Does ‘Very Same Things’ To Protesters As Iran… Which Slaughtered 1000s

Don Lemon Claims US Does ‘Very Same Things’ To Protesters As Iran… Which Slaughtered 1000s

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Don Lemon has hit rock bottom in his radical spiral, openly claiming the United States treats protesters the exact same way as Iran — the regime that massacred thousands of anti-government demonstrators in just three months. This jaw-dropping comparison arrives as the Trump DOJ pursues prison time against Lemon and the leftist mob he embedded with during their invasion of a Minneapolis church — the very disruption he hailed as protected “journalism.” On the “This is Gavin Newsom” podcast, Lemon, via his shitty internet connection, responded to discussion of an FBI raid on a Washington Post reporter by insisting America was forfeiting its moral high ground in the conflict with Iran. “Reporters have privilege. It’s like an attorney. And so you have to be very careful about those things. And we cannot lose those things,” Lemon said. “Otherwise we are going to lose the First Amendment. We’re going to lose the freedom of the press because part of that is having sources and being able to be trusted by …

Don Lemon ‘Grateful’ His Arrest ‘Elevated’ His Online Career

Don Lemon ‘Grateful’ His Arrest ‘Elevated’ His Online Career

Published by Daniella Wilson

Don Lemon is opening up about his arrest last month — and the unexpected boost it has given his career with a surge in his online following. Lemon has gained more than 300,000 new followers on Instagram and 140,000 new subscribers on YouTube since his arrest, according to The Washington Post. “I think they did not expect public sentiment to go the way it’s going,” Lemon told The Washington Post in an interview published Saturday. “They elevated me when they tried to demean me and demote me.” Following his arrest, which made headlines, President Donald Trump told reporters that Lemon getting arrested was the “best thing that could happen to him” because “he had no viewers,” adding, “And now he’s in the news.” Lemon was arrested after his reporting of an anti-ICE protest that took place in a Minnesota church during Sunday services on Jan. 18. He was charged with violating civil rights laws by allegedly crossing a line from activity protected by the First Amendment to impeding others’ rights to practice their religious beliefs. According …

Don Lemon pleads not guilty to Minnesota church protest charges

Don Lemon pleads not guilty to Minnesota church protest charges

Published by Sam Flores

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Journalist and former CNN anchor Don Lemon pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges connected to his coverage of protests over federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota. During the brief, highly procedural hearing, Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko reminded Lemon of his constitutional rights and asked if he understood the charges against him. Lemon answered in the affirmative before the judge said he was free to travel unless he were to violate any state or federal laws. A prosecutor also revealed on Friday that authorities seized Lemon’s phone during the arrest and have obtained a search warrant. Lemon’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said taking the phone was a possible “over-execution.” Lemon, now a freelance journalist, followed protesters who entered a St. Paul church on Jan. 18. He live streamed the demonstration against a pastor there who protesters said works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “I wanted to say this isn’t just about me, this is about all journalists, especially in the United States,” Lemon said outside court. “For more than 30 years, I’ve …

Don Gilet joined by partner Siobhan Finneran in Death in Paradise

Published by Daniella Wilson

As is tradition, Death in Paradise has welcomed a fresh wave of guest stars for its 15th season – from Gavin & Stacey’s Steffan Rhodri in the opener to Hermione Norris (Spooks, Cold Feet) in episode 2. Episode 3 is no different, introducing another familiar face in Siobhan Finneran, a stalwart of British film and television, known for her roles in Happy Valley, Time and Benidorm to name just a few. But, she’s not just any other guest on the show, she’s also the real-life partner of series lead Don Gilet. Finneran plays Fleur Edwards, an artist who relocated to Saint Marie three months ago in search of creative inspiration, but her new start is thrown into chaos when her neighbour, Henry Carpenter, is shot dead. With Fleur being at home when the fatal gunshot rang out, Mervin and Naomi aren’t entirely convinced she isn’t withholding key information. “What aren’t you telling us, Ms Edwards?” the DS asks in an exclusive clip shared with RadioTimes. “All I’m guilty of, detectives, is bruising Henry’s delicate ego,” …

What to know about the civil rights charges Don Lemon faces for covering church protest in Minnesota

What to know about the civil rights charges Don Lemon faces for covering church protest in Minnesota

Published by Sam Flores

Nine people, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon and another journalist — have been charged with violating two different federal laws in connection with the protest that interrupted a worship service at a Minnesota church earlier this month. The group that barged into a worship service that Sunday was upset that the head of a local field office for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves as a pastor. The protest was quickly denounced by President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and other officials, as well as many religious leaders. Lemon and a local reporter were covering the protest on Jan. 18 at the Cities Church in St. Paul. A grand jury in Minnesota indicted Lemon and others on charges of conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshippers. The indictment alleges various actions by the group that entered the church, including what Lemon said as he reported on the event for his livestream show. The arrests of Lemon and independent journalist Georgia Fort are especially troubling for legal experts and media groups …
