Hi my name is Greg and I am Carol’s youngest son and that is a picture of me with my mother on her 75th birthday party.
Her party was held at my older brother Patrick’s house in Redding California and I flew up from Escondido California to surprise her. It was very exciting to see the look on her face when I walked in the door.
It was a great birthday that mom said she will never forget. My brother, his wife and kids did an excellent job on her party and we all had a fantastic time. Complete with great food, a cake and “birthday blessings” that brought tears to her eyes.

So I thought I would surprise her once again! So I got her username and password to this blog and I am making this post without her knowing.
Sharing her birthday with all of her blog followers…I thought you would enjoy!
I also wanted to say that I am so proud of my mother, she is incredible and our family is so blessed to have such loving strong spiritual leader in our family.
This web site, her 5 Minute Miracle Newsletter and her ministry is just amazing.
What she knows about working online is absolutely incredible for a person of her age and it has not come easy to her. She has worked for years figuring out everything about how it all works. Her patience and tenacity is a testimony to her passion to make a difference in the lives of people worldwide.
And last but not least I want to thank YOU for reading her blog, joining her teleseminars, buying her books and I pray and hope that this blog and my mothers newsletter is a blessing to you and your family.

Hi Carol, just a few words to let you know that when I read your very first message I received healing. You see I have worked very hard for Jesus and God also. I have been working for the police and I was murdered several times. But God came and woke me up again. I have had so many escapes but God was always their. I have had a lot to do with a lot of athiusts and I was also told when I was little that people would try to murder me. I received a sever desease when I saved my girlfriends life. They gave me this desease.
The people around me where not my friend.
I have always foved jesus and this is what saved me. I have three children and two grandchildren. I have been a victim all my life. My children are the light of my life.
I love them very much. I also love you Carol and your family. I have two sons and a girl.
Thank you for the love I received in my heart and mind. I love you Carol. sincerely yours Elaine Taylor. If you get a chance read my poety. It is all about What faith in your life is all about. Love you Carol and family.

I’ve touched so much with every lines in your messages especially with people that they have miracles that happened in their lives, it was really amazing and God is really powerful. I thank you so much because with your powerful messages and sharing of your thoughts it helps a lot especially when I have my Nursing Licensure Examination here in the Philippines last November 29 & 30, 2008. It means a lot to me and to my family. I really appreciate you especially your work. You’re so lucky to have a sons who are always there for you, they are great children to you. Again, happy birthday and may the Lord showers you with more blessings and more years to come.
