In his book, None of These Diseases, Dr. S.I. McMillen says, "Medical science recognizes that emotions such as fear, sorrow, envy, resentment and hatred are responsible for the majority of our sicknesses. Estimates vary from 60 to 100 percents."
One patient was told by his

A few years ago, I was watching David Letterman, and he was broadcasting his show from Las Vegas. He was doing his opening monologue and he told this joke.
He said that he was standing in front of one of the casinos, and a man came up to him looking desperate.
"Please!" the man begged

I remember reading about a guy who stopped in the grocery store on the way home from
work to pick up a couple of items for his wife. He wandered around aimlessly for a while
searching out the needed groceries. As is often the case in the grocery store, he kept
passing this same shopper in almost

I recently heard the story of a man named Jim Stovall, who
became totally blind at age 29. While he still had partial vision, he
volunteered at a school for the blind. He was assigned to help a
4-year-old boy, who was blind and severely handicapped. Stovall
spent considerable time trying to

I love the story about the mom & dad with a son who was a freshman in college. He blew off his freshman year. He wasn’t very responsible, didn’t make good grades, squandered his money, & finally came back home. His parents told him, “If you go back to school you’ll have to pay your own

I have run across some absolutely irrefutable statistics that show exactly
why you are tired. It’s no wonder you’re tired either! There aren’t as many
people actually working as you may have thought, at least not according to
this survey recently completed.
The population of this country is 284

I want you to remember back to January 1982. An Air Florida jet crashed into the Potomac River? Only a handful of people clung to life in those icy waters. A U.S. Park Department helicopter arrived on the scene. It lowered a life-ring to a man named Arland Williams. He refused the rope and

I once read something that said if you wanted to trace anger back to its source, just use AHEN.
I don’t mean a chicken, but the acronym A-H-E-N
When you see Anger (the “A”) it is usually covering a Hurt (the “H”)
If you peek under that Hurt, you’ll see you had an

As a boy growing up in the country I had heard scary stories about a snake called a "Black Racer" that would chase you. These stories kept me very alert as I walked up and down the gravel roads around where we lived. One day mom asked me to go to the neighbors house and borrow an iron because ours

Once I was praying for one of my Church members and the Lord gave me a picture of him carrying a sack with something kicking inside it. The Lord’s voice came very clearly saying ’Tell them to offer the person they are carrying as a burden to Me’ - this member said that he had been carrying

Remember Woody Allen’s comic assessment? "I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work," he said. "I want to achieve immortality by not dying."
