Achilles' Heel

Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 15, 2024

The ancient Greeks told a story of a warrior named Achilles. His mother had been warned that he would die of a wound, so she dipped him as an infant in the river Styx.

From Candle To Sunlight

Contributed by Jung Lee on Jan 16, 2024

based on 1 rating
| 657 views

Imagine human wisdom as a candle. It provides light, yes, but it's limited – flickering and weak, barely illuminating the surrounding darkness. Now, picture God's wisdom as the sun. Vast, powerful, and bright, it floods our path with clarity and insight, making what was once obscure and ...read more

Poverty In The World Today

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 3, 2024

| 659 views

According the zippia.com, the median average household income for the world is slightly under $3,000. That means if your family has an income of more than $3,000 per year, you are richer than half the people in the world! The average annual income in Burundi is $220. In Afghanistan, it is $390. ...read more

What If I Do Have A Brain?

Contributed by James Snyder on Jun 1, 2024

| 334 views

After about a month on a health hiatus, things started returning to normal, and then I had a doctor’s visit scheduled for a checkup.

Every once in a while, I hear or see something that reminds me of my father. He’s been gone for over 15 years, but his memory is still fresh in my mind. His most famous saying, that I remember, was, “It’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.” He lived that to the very end of his ...read more

Could You Just Listen? When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice, you have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do ...read more
