"It is between God's hands that she finally put back her destiny..."

     In these times when the values are at the very least superficial, some contemporaries feel the urgent necessity to acquire deep and new beliefs. This tendency gave birth to a number of movements and regroupings of which the popular groups of "gospels" are those singers who praise the merits of one devout and spiritual life again. Besides, many artists join this renewal while confessing their recent devotion to the religious reason. Lynda Carter is of those.

      It is not certainly the first time that Miss Carter declares its devotion facing this Christianity that she has just rediscovered. She is now anxious to specify the reasons of he intense belief and rules that govern her life henceforth. Contrary to the starlets of her generation, she won't be eaten greedily by the Hollywood life since her faith will know how to balance this incredible existence that is the burden of the celebrities. Between this ritual valorizing and her married life, Lynda is a happy, in full bloom and especially serene woman.

TO BE BELIEVE IN GOD

     It was quite to the beginning of her career that Lynda Carter discovered the real sense of her faith. She was only a young actress without experience, having to struggle in this hard and little indulgent profession. Having only for preoccupation that the success of this gait that she undertook then (she wanted to become a superstar), she put back her destiny between the hands of the one that she names "her biggest friend" henceforth and the divine intervention would have helped the impotent beginner. Seeing so her granted wishes, the debutante relied on God for the least detail of her life. According to her dires, since this charming decision, she knows a perfectly harmonious existence and she doesn't count the marvels anymore.

     "I was not an atheist, as most young of my generation", she affirms, "but the instinct made me become aware of the importance of a perfect spiritual balance. This observation was a major event in my life since it allowed me to revalue my incentives completely and to find in me strength neccesary to succeed. I could not have continued working in this bitter environment if iy wasn't for this new faith". Aware of this appropriate magic, Lynda knew the glory in this process of metamorphosis, and she will be forever thankful for this gift of span.

     Contrary to several of the adepts of the new liturgy, the famous Wonder Woman admits  being a Catholic churchwoman, answering with assiduity the rituals of her church, uniting therefore to her equals in their research of the collective euphoria that binds the convinced minds. It is her way to thank the sky of her glorious offerings but, especially, to assure her creator of her eternal fidelity: "I don't want to be especially an ungrateful that fact only to ask without returning the favor ever. I took advantage of a lot of this new power and now I believe to demonstrate my gratitude rightly. The good accounts make the good friends and I am anxious to stay in good terms with that supreme being who allowed me to achieve my least desire."

     The noble sacrament of the marriage of course, being perfectly respectful of the rules of the church, her union to the manager Ron Samuels takes the proportions of a sacred event and makes it even indestructible: "I would be very disappointed to see my marriage going adrift. Ron shares my beliefs and these require the eternal character of our union. In spite of some disagreements, we tempt the impossible to maintain a balance essential to the working order of all household and I must confess that, until then, our system proved to be very efficient."

     This system consists in respecting the values of the other while sharing the protocol that these so-called realities entail. Thus, Lynda confesses that the depth of her religious implication is a lot more intense than her husband's vocation. Yet, he would not dare to disturb ever or even to comment the passion of her young wife that she devotes her least leisures to the relative activities to her new faith. It is this magnificent complicity that makes the couple Carter-Samuel one of the most united in this capital of the divorce. After all, in Hollywood a few years of a happiness without scandal, without shock, it is a real exploit!

      A child will know how to seal presumably until then the love of this couple bound by a professional and intimate connivance. But Lynda prefers to say nothing about her projects concerning the possible arrival of a little Wonder Baby in the life of these conjoined nobles. She likes the children but doesn't believe itself ready to assume the responsibility of it. She prefers, for the time being to see to the perfection of her singer's picture since such seems to be her recent orientation. She wants to distribute her good news, the one that allowed her a matchless happiness. Who will become the instigator of a tendency started itself has some decades in the black surroundings of the Inited States? Maybe it will make her a preacher to the vaguely modified paces? Who knows what this Wonder Woman can achieve? After all, what woman wants, God also wants it...
