"A Better You" Your 7 day program to self-development I have lost count of how many times I've read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right. Just this morning on the news they announced another Hollywood split and the magazines at the checkout counter have headlines that scream about breakups. Not that I care (and really I don't).

2012-01-12T10:01:00.000-05:00

This just came to me in an email and I thought I'd share it here. God's Grace There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town.

BURNS A young man sprinkling his lawn and bushes with pesticides wanted to check the contents of the barrel to see how much pesticide remained in it. He raised the cover and lit his lighter; the vapors ignited and engulfed him. He jumped from his truck, screaming. His neighbour came out of her house with a dozen eggs and a bowl yelling: "bring me some more eggs!" She broke them,

How many times lately have you turned to the obituaries page and seen the death notice of another soldier. I think all of our World War 1 Vets are gone and most of our World War 2 Vets as well.

I wrote this this morning while attending a Remembrance Day Service. An hour of our time Is it too much to ask, to think about those who died to keep our country safe? To think about those who continue to serve, caring not for themselves, but for those of us who remain here safe and sound, while they suffer in the trenches of wars stationed far away from family and friends? And yet, they
