What do you want to be when you grow up? Children are often asked this question. Unfortunately, many become adults and it's never answered. My Destiny Place is a show that gives children, four to nine years old, a head start by training them now in the areas of entrepreneurship and leadership via biblical principles. It's entertaining while being educational, and motivates children to explore endless career possibilities while helping them discover their God-given destinies.

My Destiny Place takes muppet-style puppets and places them in an entertainment format. The Show hosts, Ace and Tami, help keep children laughing while learning. Each episode is topical with a theme throughout the segments making it a great tool for educators and parents. Segments include: As I'm Growing Up, Kidz Biz, Real Kids, Kickin' It with Khobie, Music Segments and My Movie.

"I am so happy that God has allowed My Destiny Place to have a premiere launch and be part of the Daystar family of programming," says founder and President of Open Rivers Pictures, Tammy Williams.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
