Welcome! TravelsandResearch.com and Shroudview.com

Congratulations on choosing this website for interesting information about the Shroud of Turin. Be encouraged for greater personal leadership as emerging research show the benefit of prayer on motivation, leadership, and wellness. In addition, there is a potential benefit for viewing the Shroud of Turin and thinking about the incredible gift that God's Mercy allows for each person.

More research will follow highlighting kindness when viewing the Face of Jesus and knowing,"you are never alone"!

Currently, I am conducting research about the effect of prayer and spirituality on health and healing. The scientific information is impressive. This past September, I was honored to get a scholarship to attend the Duke University Medical Center Workshop on Spirituality and Health Research. The five-day agenda included researchers from Harvard, Yale, Emory, Johns Hopkins, and others, who presented results showing the benefits, and indeed the cost benefits of patients who left the hospital earlier than planned when prayer was involved.

It is interesting to note that some people reported that reading the Bible, and or meditation assisted with relaxation and a greater trust in God in their daily lives. 

Here are the videos I put together as part of my research. The song “Ave Maria” and "Be Not Afraid" (copyright granted) is sung by my friends Judi Stephens and the piano is played by Mary Ann Koch, who is blind since age six. They offer a beautiful use of their talents and a generous gift for us.

God Bless you and your family!
