Who put the hate into life? Seriously, it is everywhere. Hate is slippery and agile. Like a mouse. "Just because a mouse is in the cookie jar, does not make him a cookie." So perhaps the question should be, "Who let the mouse into the cookie jar"?Before he ever knew his life would end in harsh suffering, Corrie ten Boom's fat... More..
Food & Drink > Food & Drink (Other) Nutritious lunch box ideas: 6 of 39
Home-bagged nutrition is a treasure, and many times will earn the envy of friends and co-workers. I have packed thousands of lunches in the 27 years that I have had children, and every one of them love what I pack.

Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Should judges have the opportunity to look at the individual circumstances of a case before they detain and deport someone?: 1 of 6
Judges should be able to look at the individual circumstances of all cases. In fact, Judges should be prosecuted if they fail to do so. The unfortunate thing in society, is that most people making laws want one law 'straight across the board'. "One size fits all" takes away the need to discern and apply humane treatment. One ...

Arts & Humanities > Ethics Judgment of others: 5 of 29
Judgment is a good, and necessary part of daily living. The word "Judge" has been misused and abused to the point of distortion. While 'judging' others is a necessity of life, condemning them should be a last resort. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to look up the word judge, and study all that it can mean. www.dicti... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Could Christianity survive without the Bible?: 21 of 86

God is creative enough to continue informing people about Himself, with or without a Bible. He does not NEED our help, through the printing of Bibles.Speaking to believers, I would have to ask, Do we worship a book, or what is IN the Book? And how long, has God been in The Book?Of course Christianity could survive without the... More..
Food & Drink > Food & Drink (Other) Assessing the Americans' eating habits: 11 of 39
I have been assessing the eating habits of Americans since the 1980's. It all began when I had my first child when I was nineteen, in 1981. By the time I added two more, I wanted to make sure that I was making the best contribution to their nutrition as I possibly could, because I knew what fat did for me. Fat made me miserab... More..
Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes When being friends with your ex isn't an option: 10 of 31
Being friends with an ex is not an option when coercion, deception, and abuse are involved. Abuse happens when there is a disregard for the rights of the other. Friendship is: upholding each other's rights, and looking out for one another.Most of the time, learning truth, means living it yourself. Experience brings authority.... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Is not having sex with your spouse a crime: 11 of 31
We need to look at the "why/why not", and avoid the, "is/is not". The why & why-not is always complex, individual: unique. The 'do you or don't you' are black and white. One or the other, no room for excuses or explanation. This is a sick and twisted way to look at an issue relating to relationships and crimes. It takes the h... More..
