    The median ages for men and women marrying are 28 and 26 respectively. This compares to 23 and 20 in the early ‘60’s. Also, today only 1 out of 5 bride’s parents pays for the wedding. A trend that is influencing bridal gift choices and the amount spent on wedding gifts. On a sadder note, living ...read more

    Some things are more tempting than others wouldn’t you agree? I just love a Snickers candy bar. I have never tasted such goodness in my life. There is something about that combination of chocolate, peanuts, rich caramel and nougat that seems to satisfy the savage sweet tooth. Don’t put me on a diet ...read more

    Dear Lord, I have been re-reading the record of the Rich Young Ruler and his obviously wrong choice. But it has set me thinking. No matter how much wealth he had, he could not—ride in a car, have any surgery, turn on a light, buy penicillin, hear a pipe organ, watch TV, wash dishes in running ...read more

    A small but growing number of parents are getting domain names for their young kids, some before taking their newborn home from the hospital. It’s not known exactly how many, but the practice is no longer limited to “tekky” parents. They worry that the name of choice might not be available by the ...read more

    DRY TRUTH OR DYNAMIC LIES?

    HUMILITY VS. HUMILIATION Have you ever thought about the difference between 'humility' and 'humiliation'? There is a significant difference.

    ARE YOU READY? Are you ready to dwell in the “house of the Lord forever”? If not then ask yourself why? Most of us cling on to something that is sinful just because we are comfortable here. That is like asking a baby to experience life outside the womb. They would say “No Way” I have a great ...read more

    Xmas or CHRISTmas ? I used to get annoyed when I saw the word 'Xmas' as an abbreviation for 'Christmas' as it seemed to take something of the wonder out of the story of Jesus coming to our world as a baby in order to become the Saviour of the World.
