  • Beware

    Your prayer from Merton alarmed me! Please sister in Christ be careful. Merton died a strange death that begs the question about whether Christians can safely practice yoga. Its basis is pagan with multiple demigods. We sister have ONE GOD, who is a jealous God. He will NOT allow for you to share yourself with another. This is very serious. Please read on this and reflect. Many have been led astray.
