- SSL Encryption. As of this month the ResourcesForLife.com website now has SSL encryption. That means your connection to the site is verified and secure.

Heart Songs
This month’s Heart Songs selection is “What Do You Love” (featuring Jacob Banks) by Seeb. A music video version is below. Note: There may be advertising preceding the videos that’s outside my control — it’s determined by YouTube and the user who uploaded the videos. Click the small red ‘x’ at the top right of any ads to close them.
Thanks. I want to thank the global team of volunteers, contributors, and workers “behind the scenes” who help make all this possible. I’m very grateful to the many people who continue to uphold and advance the mission of Resources for Life. Thanks again for your support. Please let me know if there is any way that Resources for Life can serve you better.
Regards,
