Alot of drug users are afraid to speak out about the 'hallucinations' they have when they are high. I only remember reading about it in depth in a Christian teen book and listening to it on 'UnShackled' it was very gripping.

About 12-14 years ago, my mother went to visit my father (parents separted) and he was living in a low-rate apartment complex at the time. The place had people of various lifestyles in it. A girl came to the apartment door and asked my mother to use the phone. Since it was a woman my mother said yes.

The girl made the call, aparently some one said some thing to hurt her and she began to cry. My mother talked with her and comforted her. The girl admited she was on drugs during the conversation and my mother asked her if she would like to give her life to the Lord. The girl said yes and my mother led her in prayer.

Immediately the girl began vomiting violently! My mother understood it was a spiritual reaction to the demons fighting for control over the girls body again. Mummy began to bind and rebuke the demons in the name of Yeshuah (Jesus) the poor girl finally stopped. She hugged the girl and they talked some more and my mother told her to remember to pray, read her Bible and seek further assistance. The girl thanked her tearfully and left.

My father has moved since then. We have lived in places from the projects to white upper middle class during our years in the U.S. My mother always refers to them as the 'MISSIONARY YEARS!'

i would like to see them offer pics, dvd performances, hats, t-shirts, autographs, anything with mario's picture on it
i would like for us to have the option of buying or winning these items

a chat room would be a lovely addition to the forum !

Can we get the option to have Signatures, Avatars and post images (not just links)? It would really help with the atmoshpere and maybe encourage passer byers to join the board and support Mario/request his songs on the radio and buy his CDs.

Hey everybody! I was thinking that maybe there should be a forum for all the new members to introduce themselves and say hi so we can really get to know one another! That way they won't get lost in the sauce and they'll feel comfortable joining the Mario Family:-) Whatcha think?

I think it would be nice 2 have a creative writing place [if there's not 1 already ;)] ...
