Whatever Happened To Lauryn Hill? ~ The People Story
There is an expose of sorts on Lauryn Hill in the most recent issue of People magazine. Lauryn refused to comment to them, but there are quotes from others who know or knew her at some point in time. The article starts off talking about how she lives in suburban New Jersey with her five children.
Former Fugees group member Pras Michel, is still stuck on Lauryn asking people to call her Miss Hill. He says, “When she said, ‘it’s Ms. Hill,’ I said Excuse me? She also told me she was gonna have people call her “empress.”
Wyclef complained that when the Fugees reunited for a brief tour in 2005 he’d be onstage for 45-50 minutes before Lauryn would come out and join him.
Music engineer Gordon Williams described Lauryn as super intelligent and funny. He says that she was someone who had celebrities like Prince, Denzel Washington, and Russell Crow starstruck by her mere presence. Williams believes that the height of Lauryn’s success too a toll on her. He says, “She didn’t have a minute in the day when there wasn’t something going on. She wanted to be a regular person. She tried to accommodate everybody all the time.”
An unnamed source says that an association she began in the late 1990’s with a spiritual advisor “made everything go crazy. She said his preaching made her feel like everything she did in her career was bad.”
The article states that long time acquaintances of Ms. Hill claim that though she seems troubled and greets them with blank stares, there are still rare glimpses of the old Lauryn Hill.
Gordon Williams who last saw Lauryn in 2005 during a studio session says, “When she started rapping, she smiled and laughed. I was like, ‘that’s L-Boogie’, but she wanted people to call her Ms. Hill.” Shortly after that session Williams was told that Ms. Hill no longer needed his services. He went on to say, “Now she has this whole other persona and everyone is on pins and needles around her.”
Lauryn is currently residing with her mother Valerie in a home Lauryn bought her parents years ago. Along with the two of them, Lauryn’s children are there as well. They are 11 year old Zion, 9 year old Selah, 6 year old Joshua, 5 year old John. There is also a 7 month old baby girl that is yet unnamed.
According to Rohan Marley, father of all 5 children, “We want a name that means Glory of the Ark; for now we call her baby Marley.”
Rohan, who was more than happy to speak to People about Lauryn says that there is nothing wrong with her. He says that Wyclef and Pras are hypocrites because they will call the label and tell them Lauryn is crazy, but then call Rohan to have him call Lauryn for them.
Lauryn and Rohan are neither married nor living together, but in Rohan’s own words they are “spiritually together.” He says that Lauryn is focused on raising the children. He says, “She loves suburban life, being with her children, seeing them grow and instilling our teachings of righteousness into them.”
According to Rohan, Selah is a gymnast, Joshua does karate, John loves school, and Zion plays guitar and bass. Rohan says that Lauryn “is beautiful and looks 17 years old. He claims that she does “what regular people do: She cooks, she shops, goes to restaurants, regular things…She became more in tune with the earth, but down and depressed? “No.”
Rohan explains her constant lateness to shows as Lauryn being a perfectionist and only wanting to look her best for the audience.
Columbia records, who still has Lauryn under contract describes her as being on “hiatus.”
Rohan says she is always composing songs. He says, “She writes music in the bathroom, on toilet paper, on walls. She writes it in the mirror if the mirror smokes up. She writes constantly. This woman does not sleep.”
The article ends with a nice quote from Pras, who has spent the better part of the last few years disparaging Lauryn. He says, “Lauryn’s real love and joy besides her kids, is her music. It’s the best healing process for her. If she can come out of whatever she’s in and say ‘I’m back’, she’d be better than the rest of them right now. That girl has something that can move mountains.”
——————-
I don’t even know where to begin. I think anyone who knows me knows I still love Lauryn and hold out hope that she can get right and put out more good music. I want to hear none of the supposed random “spiritual” mutterings she’s been trying to pass off as music these last few years. Yet and still I have no idea if this can happen. She seems a bit far gone. I find the fact that she and her children live with her mom comforting. Hopefully that is helpful.
According to Rohan the children are well-rounded and well adjusted. I am not certain that would be the case if Lauryn was left up to her own devices. I am also curious as to what happened to her father. He used to be a part of the equation with the mother.
This reminds me of the D’Angelo article, basically blaming the music industry for his demise. It seems that there are some that also blame the industry for the shell of a woman that has become Ms. Hill. I don’t know if scapegoating the industry is appropriate. While it may have played it’s part, it seems that Lauryn and D’Angelo both have issues much deeper than too much fame too soon.
Even at the height of her success, Lauryn would mention the pressures of being who everyone wanted her to be and having a rough time dealing with certain things. That could have been a cry for help. Or it could not have. Who am I to say? I think being this person everyone thought she was may have become too much for her. She spoke of all this peace and righteousness, yet she was sleeping with another woman’s husband, and if rumors are to be believed, Rohan was another woman’s husband when she scooped him up as well.
These behaviors were quite contradictory to who Lauryn portrayed herself to be in songs and to the general public as a whole.
Radio personality Wendy Williams had been calling Lauryn out on this for years claiming that Lauryn was basically a chickenhead masquerading as this righteous being. Not that both the “chickenhead” and the “righteous” one could not have both been parts of who she was, but having to keep up the image of the righteous 24/7 for the sake of her career was probably a bit much.
Or maybe she just went crazy. It happens. It could have just been what was going be one way or the other. I know a few people with diagnosed mental health issues and nothing traumatic lead them there, they are just imbalanced in some way.
Lauryn could also be quite sane and just acting this way to get people to leave her the hell alone. It wouldn’t be a novel idea. It would probably be the first time anyone who was a part of the self obsessed culture of hip-hop did something like this, but actors and actresses back in the day did things like this all the time and went off to live the rest of their lives in obscurity.
She could have gone over the deep end when Rohan had the baby by her cousin, though the fact that she remains “spiritually together” with him and still procreating leads me to believe that situation may not have been as big a deal to her as it would have been to some.
If she is in fact as crazy as those around her believe, why hasn’t someone done something to stop her? Britney went bat shit crazy and her dad stepped in and now she’s being medicated and seems to be on her way back to semi-normalcy at the very least. It seems that Lauryn is just being left up to her own devices, which really doesn’t seem like the best thing, especially not since there are like 12 children involved.
Rohan, he is another situation entirely. I think he is as crazy, if not crazier than Lauryn appears to be. Why anyone would listen to him when he claims she’s normal is beyond me. He has never struck me as normal himself. He appears to be a large part of Lauryn’s issues whatever they may be. I also wonder why he describes Lauryn as basically a single mom. It doesn’t sound like he’s in the picture at all. Like he’s just some random bystander watching from the sideline.
Also, what the hell is the deal with both of them agreeing to call their 7 month old Baby Marley until they find a name that means glory of the ark?
It may be best if he’s keeping his distance.
Even though I’ve come up with a million hypothesies of what may or may not be with Lauryn, I don’t truly believe she is crazy. I also don’t believe that her being crazy is an impossibility. I think she is an artist and they tend to take eccentricity to new levels.
Maybe she is just content to be a mother and she could be recording songs all the time at home.
People magazine didn’t really uncover anything we didn’t know about Ms. Hill, but I am glad to know that they still think she matters. I am with Pras, if she can get herself together, she’d be better than pretty much everyone else that’s out there right now musically.
I for one really hope something good happens in her life and she is able to recover from whatever it is that is ailing her.

☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
she is still the hot and sexxxxxxy
She is still hot and sexy?!! Are you on CRACK?!!!
Keshawnta we’ve missed you! But honestly I believe that her story is very similar to that of D’Angelo’s..the industry breaking one down. However, I also think that Rohan Marley is a negative influence and does not make matters any better, if he is not a major cause. It’s been 10 years since the Miseducation came out, and I don’t know if Lauryn (Ms. Hill) will ever be able to come out with a CD that can even compare that one, but I’m hoping I’m wrong.
I am sorry but I don’t think the system broke Lauryn or D’Angelo down. If anyone can’t handle making six or seven figures that’s on them not the industry. D’Angelo says that women asking him to take off his clothes before he finishes a song bothered him. I’ll tell you what for that kind of money I’d have my shirt off every night and if the fans told me to shut up and just model that is exactly what I would do. There are people struggling everyday to find out how they are going to pay their bills and they don’t break or go crazy. I feel bad for both of them but I ain’t gonna blame the industry. This is something within the both of them.
I think Lauren IS slightly mentally ill, but then, I also believe that all successful artists are required to have *a little* mental illness to desire the business and succeed in it to begin with.
One difference between Brittany & Lauren is that Brittany is sitting on millions. Also, b/c black folks just don’t get in your business like that. They let the crazy uncle/auntie sit right up in the attic bedroom as long as they behave themselves.
What confuses me is that Rohan could have easily exploited Lauren and gotten rich but he didn’t…?
I simply do not believe that there is anything wrong with Lauryn, besides the crazy hair and makeup from her previous tour, and during her interview in 2007 she sounded very wise and well informed since we all know she is extremely intelligent and she was very calm. I am also interested to know what happened to her father he seemed to be a major part of her life in earlier times.
Rohan is honest Wyclef and Pras are hypocrites for sure. It was wrong for them to blast Lauryn like they did considering that she never says anything bad about anyone no matter the circumstances. I still love her though still want to hear music from her. Besides the article was very positive and sounded real it really shows that people still have respect for her and still want to hear music from her. All the best for her.
Where is the proof that Rohan had a baby with LH’s cousin?
Bc surely if that were true LH wouldnt have had 3 (Josh, John, & newborn girl) more kids with Rohan after that?
PS: I think ppl called/talk 2 Rohan earlier in the year, when LH had just given birth.
Now @ 7mo old the baby girl has a name. By US law, you can leave the hospital but must return & register the baby w/i 90 days, for the hospital records & 4 SS records.
So no way the baby is 7mo old & w/o a name.
It’s amazing that people who say they love Ms. Lauryn Hill honestly thinks she has some mental illness. Obviously, if you are a true fan you would know that everything she does is pointed and purposeful. Everytime she opens her mouth she gives us this information. Yet no one is listening! I really would love to see blogs and articles from true fans that can report on Ms. Hill based on Ms. Hill and not what everybody else is saying. If i was to title her next album it would be the Misrepresentation of Ms Lauryn Hill cause that’s what everybody is doing.
Just because we are Lauryn Hill fans doesn’t mean we have to sit back and accept her craziness. If everything she does is purposeful tell me what was the purpose for her showing up at a concert 2 hours late? I think clearly there is something mentally wrong with her and it is the fans that are willing to sit by and let her continue to act like a nut that are bad for her. A real fan will plead for her to straighten her life out, turn this thing around and put out more of her great music instead of acting like we don’t see her problems.
Keshawnta welcome back!!
ips, I’m as big a fan of lauryn as anyone and I agree she doesn’t say anything explicitly bad about anyone in particular ...but let’s not pretend that her beef with wyclef and pras isn’t on display in a lot of her music nested in her harsh feelings toward “society.” Not that their history explains all of her music, that wouldn’t be giving her anywhere near enough credit, but that history seems like a real focal point…
and her attack on the world is as deep as it gets. they’re at least bitching about how she’s acting and not about how astray everyone is. have you looked at laurynhill.com. It’s upsetting to me how she’s rubbing consumerism in people’s faces charging an arm and a leg for her merchandise. people love her and it seems to me that she’s making fun of the filth of wanting to possess her product. I don’t believe that no publisher was willing to publish her book and sell it for $10. I guess ms hill is not for sale.
people love lauryn. I really hope she gets through whatever this is and is able to put herself out there again and share with the world her gift.
also, did any of you guys read the actual interview with her in Trace a few years ago?
Ms. Hill and Rohan are looking for a name that means “glory of the ark”. Why not just call the baby Glory?
GLORY WOULD BE A NICE NAME ALSO DESTINY FAITH HILL ALSO. ANY ONE AGREE? ALSO I BELIEVE THEY WERE OR ARE MARRIED AT SOME POINT LONG AGO. THE STORY ABOUT HIM HAVING A AFFAIR WITH HER COUSIN? I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ASSISTANT. NEVER LESS IT MAY NOT BE TRUE EITHER. IF SO, WHAT KIND OF PERSON COULD DO SUCH AN AWFUL THING TO HER !! LOOSER!!! IF IT HAPPENED. AND RO WHAT WAS HE THINKING? ALL I CAN SAY IT DONT WORRY AND BE HAPPY. LEAVE THEM ALONE.
I hope she can get her self together, if only for her kids. She needs to put her trust in God not in Man because Man will bring you down everytime. Ms. Hill pull it together for your children and look to God for your guildens. God be with you and I will be praying for you and the little angels God has given to you to raise. God bless you Ms. Hill. Please look to God for your help.
Rohan Marley is just like his loving father many babbies mothers. They have no respect for women, and clearly Lauryn Hill and Rohan MArley dont what birth control is.
Please this woman is not looking sexy in any of new photo’s, she look like she is getting geared up for clown school. But she decided to have five children with a short ugly MARRIED man, now live with it.
This lady looks a hot, steamy mess. Some think it’s being different, I think she is acting like a damn fool. If she is mentally ill she should get help or the people around her should assist her in getting help.
I won’t provide my name because I worked for Ms. Hill. She is astoundingly intelligent and deeply devoted to her children. She is not mentally ill or anything close to that. Her intelligence sets her apart from others. To those who suggest that her time off from the industry represents some kind of problem in her life, I would suggest the opposite. Ms. Hill is so genuinely devoted to her family that a return to super-stardom might be a tremendous destraction. More than anything, I want to impart to you that she is of sound mind and is more intelligent than my words can describe. I mean this sincerely.
People just don’t understand.. Lauryn is INDEED beautiful. I wish people would stop spreading RUMORS & state FACTS! Stop hating folks.. Gah Lee!
Lauryn is a average person who has ups & downs in her life. Just give her a little time she’ll be back in the spot light.
man i dont care i know she will be back even better than before i love you miss hill and you are truly and allways be an empress to me i will allways surport you and apprecaite the work you put you and your family stay bless
lauryn hill u r the best by the way u look so fab!
by the way can i pleeeeeeeeeaaaaasssseeee hav ur autograph and can i hav a pic/cd
Well one thing i can say is it must be hard raising 5 children with ages not to far from each other so i wouldnt blame her if she wants to be left alone or if she feels a bit stressed i think people are looking from the outside and judging a bit too much i mean wouldnt you like to be left alone when you have 5 kids to deaal with everyday?? not crazy at all just want to be a mother.
on a positive note she did however perform at raggamuffin festival in rotorua newzealand this year on the 23rd of january 2010 and i have to tel yah she was awesome!! she came back! and i hope we see more!
Five kids with a man that doesn’t intend to marry her and brainwashes her stating that they are spiritually connected and in addition living with her mom who has to listen to this maddness. No my dear, she has issues…I am a big fan of Lauryn, but dude isn’t he the same Marley that slept with her own cousin and also had a wife somewhere in Spain…Lauryn wake up, the man is using you…you deserve so much more than this. What are you instilling in these kids…That it is good to have children and not marry???????What an example!!!
All she needs to do is take adeep breath, relax a bit and leave them crazy ass Jamacian men ALONE !!!
lauryn aint crazy….she aint got mental issues….shes just a spiritual person, in my eyes anyway. gotta love lauryn and i dont care what anyone says that she got mental issues and stuff because thats bs and thats what they see, i see a spiritual person. gotta love lauryn!
SHE’S ONLY HUMAN, LEAVE HER ALONE…
First off, people need to mind their own business. If Lauryn Hill is doing drugs or mentally ill, don’t sit here and try to put her down. People make choices; yes, she chose to have five children with Rohan Marley, who is married. Get over it! She’s spiritual human being and has the right to do what she wants whether you like it or not.
Personally who the hell is anybody to judge her or anyone else. I love lauren hill as a artist her life is hers and only god can judge her. her album mtv unplugged was filled with many messages get the wax out of your ears and sleep from your eyes. Stop putting demands on people that you wouldnt put on yourself.
‘she is still hot and sexy’ wtf are u blind and have u seen her husban ...u must be smoking something
Never has an artist touched me the way that you have Lauryn. I feel a deep connection with you and you are a gifted and genuine person. You are a powerful speaker in your lyrics and we need some more of those powerful words in the music industry. Never did you compromise your integrity and I am sure that your absense is due to the fact that you value love more than fickle fame and fortune! Your track Forgive Them Father says it all for me…I hope you have peace sister…..you rock and always will 😊 x
i have always loved her music and i always will.. She is a black queen, a queen of sheba, and is way to good 4 bob marleys son, who should treat her 4 the queen she is.. hes like his dad prechn love and peace when he cant control his little head, in his pants. love u always Lauryn Hill!!!! may peace be with you grl 😊
0x0x0x0x0x0
well all i gotta say is that LH transformed alot till i didn’t even reconized her this is bad….....LH u need to take ANGELINA JOLIE as a big faqqing example!!!!!!
COME ON MAN NOTHING IS WRONG WITH KIDS BUT LOOK AT U…..THIS IS NOT U…...U MIGHT BE SPIRITUAL BUT THIS IS OVER THE LIMITS GEE WIZZZ!!!!!!!

It’s been nearly 13 going on 14 yrs since THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL. I will not hold my breath for Lauryn to “get it together” and release another album. TIME TO MOVE ON FOLKS!
I think she disappeared up her own middle class backside, so I doubt that there will be another album. Unless someone can pull her head back out that is?
i dont think ms. hill went crazy at all. i think she found out the truth. the entertainment industry was bringing her down and pulling her away from god. i love the new her, shes humble for sure. the way were all suppose to be.
I miss Ms. Hill a lot. She helped me cure my boredomeness growing up. Best of luck to her and her kids.

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
TO: 1 recipient
Show Details
Dear Saints,
I pray that this word gives you much strength, encouragement and hope. As always, I thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers. It means a lot to myself and my team. It is clear from the e-mails, texts and calls that I have received that in this time and season people need answers and instruction as they are keen to get it right.
As I begin to weigh these things and pray I felt that the Lord telling me to ask the body to “ARM THEMSELVES”. And He directed me to 1 Peter 4:1-19 and in particular verses 1-3.
God is telling His Church to arm itself with knowledge and understanding. Arming yourself means that whatever calling you have, be it a Prophet, Pastor, business person etc you need to study what will protect, and strengthen you in your place of calling. A soldier that is going into war needs to know what to take in order to protect himself and equip himself for his duties, and we are soldiers in God’s end time army. Ephesians 6:13-18 explains this. Verse 13 says: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. As soldiers in God’s end time army, we need to arm ourselves with knowledge and understanding in order to withstand the shaking that is about to hit.
This is not a time to be at ease or complacent, it is not the time to pamper the flesh or indulge in frivolities. It is a time to die to the flesh and come alive in the Spirit. It is a season to be sober, to watch and to pray in order not to fall into temptation. It is also a season of fervent love for one another and for the lost.
There is an increase in the hearts of the saints for identity in Christ to begin to show and He is releasing a sound. Although at the moment it sounds like a murmur it is growing. A murmur as people walk away from fleshly works. In essence people are trying to live by the spirit. There is an increase of the mind of God in the body. It is growing and I do want to encourage saints go deeper and deeper still. Go to those uncommon places and grey areas. Wisdom will come. Love deeply,
enquire deeply, seek wisdom and knowledge. Seek to understand Christ and His ways. Out of this understanding He will prepare us for what is to come.
Don’t be shaken by little things. Know that in Him you live, move and have your being. God is establishing His order. I also believe that people are putting their priorities right and there is a separation going on. Please be encouraged in doing that because all this is building towards something. Saints, be encouraged. Verse 7 states “that the end of all things is at hand”. What this means is that the crying out, praying and fighting against injustice will find answers. Things are coming to a head.
I would like to encourage intercessors. Do not be discouraged when you see certain laws passed. When you see things that you have prayed to stop go through. The Lord will allow that. He will permit certain things for a reason for He will not contend with man forever.
God lives in the heart of man for even the most wicked man knows how to love. Some of these things that the Lord allows to go through will cause a crying out from the depths. A crying out for change, for revival.
It will cause groaning for change even from unbelievers and there will be a window for an unprecedented harvest for souls. A movement of purity. A window of personal answered prayers, of healing, of the miraculous but the Body will be strong, mature and able to handle the persecution that comes with it. There will be a maturing, a strength, that comes because the strengthened ones will be able to raise others and to delegate to ones who can take care of the lambs that will come. And this new strength that is coming is based on the journey that people have been through. This will bring wisdom to delegate accurately and use time efficiently and effectively. Peope put in place will be able to raise others.
We have been praying for unity and it is working and is also very beautiful. However, take heed that it does not become a Babel system. Do not be discouraged or condemned if you are not part of a particular move of God. Support it and pray for it. As you do so the DNA of that unity will be a bridge causing the move of God to spread into different nations bringing healing. Saints eventually all the streams will come together as one. He is God. He will do it, His kingdom will not be fragmented. He will have His way. The body of Christ needs to be ready for the shaking that is coming.
There is a refreshing coming into the prayer movement where it is going to be imbued with power and invigorated by the Lord’s burdens. So if you do not feel specific burdens strengthen yourself in the word until His burden comes.
In this hour you hear of many churches closing down however I also believe God will bring financial release to certain places that He has chosen. He has seen your hearts and giving and will honour that. Buildings will be bought and paid for outright. He is going to remove the begging basket from the hands of His saints. These are events to come.
I also see the media paying attention to miraculous acts in the body of Christ.
Saints, lets pray together from Psalm 20.
I pray that God answers you whenever you are in trouble.
Let the name of Jacob’s God protect you.
Let God send help to you from the sanctuary and support you.
Let God recall your many offerings and sacrifices,
let Him savour your entirely burned offerings.
Let God grant what is in your heart and fulfill all your plans.
Then we will rejoice that you have been helped and we will fly our flags in the name of our God.
Let the Lord fulfill all your requests in Jesus Name. Amen.
I love you. We love you all and we are praying for you.Grateful for His love.

Hebrews 6: 15
I think what we don’t understand we search for a name to satisfy our bewilderness. Lauryn Hill has been our conscious. I say this not as one that has been a follower of Ms. Hill, but recently I was looking at some who was bold enough to turn down hugh monies deal notable like Dave Chapella, and Lauryn Hill name pop us as being crazy etc.etc. I then started to research this lady. I find that the one I tuned into the Unplugged Mtv Special on Ms. Hilll showed a person that was free to be herself and express herself. But what was most interesting is that she did this song “Battle of the Mind.” She says we know that we are all guilty and we know that we’ve all lied… I am 53, and this song really brought out my sub conscious thought about society, religion, music, life etc. I started looking at what we do to try to be normal, fearing that the truth will mean being ostracize so like the ostrich, we bury our head in the sand. So that tell me that we know what is truth or right, but we don’t want to pay the price. Ms. Hill unlike us pay the price everytime she bring to our conscious mind what is lying dormant in our subconscious minds. She has become for many our social drugs, she express what we want say, pay the price that we won’t pay, and now we want some new stuff, but like she said on Unplugged, it freedom time now yall. It freedom time. We are at crossroads, and we so use to being in the box, we are like our ancestor that were slaves, that once the emancipation proclamation was in effect, their mind could comprehend what they just heard with their ears. I keep hearing everyone complaining about her up tempo of familiar songs etc. but see we are just like the slave mentality, Ms Hill clearly explained to the audience on unplugged that you are just getting to see the real me (LH) and we don’t like the real one so keep us enslaved with the music that we are familiar with. She was showcasing, life, disappointments, systems, that control our minds, thought, ideas, and after telling us it has poison us for years, we still want more of the poison.
I now understand why the road to eternal life is so narrow and few there be that find it. We will totally sell out to a system way of controlling our thinking without even asking the question why do we think the way we do. Yet, when it come to Jesus, the world hate Jesus because he made statement, you must deny self pick up your cross and follow me. We (I)don’t always follow him whole heartedly and this result in my demise. He clearly say that He is either Lord of ALL or He is not Lord at ALL. We (I) always looking for loophole. There is no loophole in the kingdom, you either all end or we are out. For Lauryn Hill to tell us that everthing that you have built your hopes on in this world are lies to manipulate you to the point you will hear fear of the truth, but readily believe a lie. Ms. Hill has been bearing this cross for the human conscious for a long time, and now she is facing yet another challenge. It’s freedom time Yall!
We need to those who can get a prayer in need to pray for Ms. Hill as we are aware she facing sentencing about tax evasion issues. I don’t condone some of her actions, but I do know that to whom much is given much is required. A lot of Ms. Hill decisions may cause some to be satisfied with the notion that she just a hypocrite. I notice that oftentime we are too happy to call people hypocrites, mainly, I think because that it gives us a sense of relief that they are no better than us after all. You know people probably said the same thing about Apostle Paul while he was in jail. He was still preaching the gospel from jail
It appear my blog time is decreasing!!
If Ms. Hill never produce another album (social drug). The question is what have you done to change those things you already know. Ms. Hill have tried to convey the truth in many forms, and it painful as Solomon said with much knowledge is much grief. But perhaps we are blind as the bible noted. The prince of this world has blinded their(our) eyes. It freedom time yall. Give your heart mind and soul to Jesus Christ Amen
