SERMON: Getting Balance Into Your Life, Part 2 |
|
As discussed last week, the first thing you need to discover is your PURPOSE in life. And the second thing you have to do, if you are going to have balance in your life is: You have to establish your PRIORITIES. You may not have a firm grasp of what your real purpose is in this world. Begin by asking yourself, "What are my gifts? What are the specific talents and interests that have been put into my life? How can I use these to fulfill my purpose in this world?" The reason that these questions are important is that you may be doing many good things, but you may not be doing the things that are best for you to realize your full potential.

EDITORIAL: A Call To Ban Nuclear Weapons
|
The world's first atomic bomb attack occurred many decades ago but all feeling people are still haunted by that attack.
In the Japanese city of Hiroshima more than 140,000 people were killed; most died instantly and some died within a few months after the bombing. Three days later, another U.S. war plane dropped a plutonium bomb on the city of Nagasaki, killing about 80,000 people. Japan surrendered on August 15th, 1945, ending World War II.
Out of every disastrous situation, heroes emerge. One such hero was the longtime Saturday Review Editor, Norman Cousins who once said, "Pessimism is a waste of time."

OPINION: The Price Of Freedom
|
|
In the early 1600's, one of America's most pioneering Christian leaders paved the way for free thinkers and future religious freedoms like no one ever had before in the New World. A brave woman by the name of Anne Hutchinson defied the odds and let the public know how she felt about God and His love despite being looked down upon (and feared!) by a puritanical, patriarchal society. She strongly believed, having direct revelation from God (and to the ministers of the Colony's dismay), that everyone could know God's will directly.

GOOD NEWS: COOLpix Puzzler: West Ireland
|
Ireland (Irish: Éire; Ulster Scots: Airlann) is a country in north-western Europe occupying five-sixths of the island of Ireland.
It is bordered by Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) to the north, by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and by the Irish Sea to the east.
Incredibly picturesque in the rural areas, particularly out West, the peoples of Ireland have migrated all over the Western world, due in large part to the deep poverty once suffered countrywide.
Today, Ireland is a member in good standing in the European Union and is particularly active in various fields of technology which until very recently was making Ireland one of Europe's fastest growing and most prosperous nations.

FICTION: Tails of Aspabibia, Part 48
|
And so regret turned to good use. After that, day-by-day, Rue Shadow began to feel the hole in his heart close up.
Time in Aspabibia passed, one day dawning, blossoming, and fading into the next.
The Royal Family had their new litter: two females and a male, the male named Copper Lad; the females called Garnet Sass, a feisty little thing, and Cinnabar Beauty, for all too obvious reasons.
They were a healthy and lively lot, full of mischief and fun and exhibiting like all kittens a great zeal for life.

ADVICE: Dear Angel
|
I am a compulsive thief. I have been stealing money for the past thirty years from three different employers and I have never been caught. One of them has since gone out of business. My fault? The total of my takings is over three hundred thousand dollars. I have recently brought Jesus into my life and I would like to atone for my sins but, frankly, I cannot confess and go to jail. I am only fifty-five and would have multiple convictions if each larceny were counted. I might spend the rest of my life in jail.
