One reason modern society has become obsessed by media-driven entertainment is its increased availability.

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible: Word of God or work of the devil?: 8 of 115
The Bible, known to many of us as God's word, is a work of God. It was written (the hand that moved the pen) by men, but written (the hand that moved the man) by God.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Tips You are always a parent: Tips for parenting adult children: 1 of 14
Parents of "adults" will tell you it's one of the hardest jobs around. You want the best for them and yet have no real say over how they live their lives.

Jobs & Careers > Stress & Time Management Why it's important to develop a work-life balance: 5 of 69
Work is one of the biggest parts of our lives, but it is only one part of it. Controlling the amount of time and energy we invest in our careers will keep us from swinging sadly out of balance. The finding of that illusive balance is difficult at best. If we have to think twice to remember our children's names, it may be tim... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Is the death penalty an effective crime deterrent?: 4 of 55
The death penalty is an effective crime deterrent, at least for the one's who are put to death. The problem is that not very many criminals make it there, and many of them know they won't.

Do children learn better in single-sex schools? Absolutely. Besides the fact that research supports this idea, as a teacher I know the problems inherent in mixing genders in the school. 1.

Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing How to forgive and forget: 3 of 39
Forgiving is one of the most difficult things we must do. It doesn't mean saying what the person did was OK. It means saying I will no longer hold it over you, keep bringing it up every time I'm mad at you, or harbor bitterness toward you. Bitterness is a poison that can shrivel your soul. It can turn you into a person no on... More..
