“Since psychological studies first began, people have given themselves top marks for most positive traits. While most people do well at assessing others, they are wildly positive about their own abilities, Dunning said.
That's because we realize the external traits and circumstances that guide

There is a community here in the United States where a Christian Church had such blaring music and so many mission trips and so many children and families that people in the neighborhood issued a petition to make the church quieter. They went to a Jewish neighbor and asked him to sign the petition.

SOMEONE UNDER MY BED
A man went to a psychiatrist with a worry problem. "Every time I get into bed," he said, "I’m convinced there is somebody under it."
"I can help," said the psychiatrist, "But it will mean a session a week for a year, costing £30 per visit."
The man never returned, so when

THE HEALING RAINBOW
Years ago one of our sons – age 10-12 – spoke some remarkable words. I had been ill. He was outside and saw a rainbow which he perceived as being over our house. He came inside and said, "Are you better yet? I thought maybe you were being healed."
At that young age he had

BACK WHERE WE STARTED
I have a photograph, taken of my father’s father around 1910, when he was about 28. I put that photograph next to a photo of me that was taken when I was 30. The poses were just about the same. And surprisingly, the only real different between the two photos is that he was

THE GRAY AREA
I heard a story about a 90-year-old grandfather who was complaining to his grandson about getting old. He said, "The worst part is the diapers." He continued, "I don’t mind wearin’ them, it’s just the name I hate. Depends! If I have to wear a diaper, I don’t want there to be any

GOD'S LOVE IS WITH YOU
God’s promise is not that we will not suffer or have grief, pain and trouble; his promise is more amazing than that. It is that he will be with us in all of those moments, he will never leave us and forsake us. God loves us too much to leave us to face these moments alone.

GOD SAID IT, THAT ENDS IT
One of my pet peeves is a bumper sticker. It reads; "God said it, I believe it and that ends it."
Now many of you may think that is a reasonable statement. I, on the other hand, have a problem with it--you see, once God says it, THAT ends it. THAT makes it truth. Whether

SELF-DESTRUCTION
The same way a lot of people have destroyed what the Lord rightly gave to them with their own hands. The case of a governor of one of the states in Nigeria is a very good example. He jumped bail in England and was removed on coming back home. There was also the case of one boy who
