Life Is A Box Of Chocolates ... Not! Series

Contributed by David Smith on Oct 29, 2009

“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” (Job 38:2) Yes, I’m quoting God from the book of Job, chapter 38, second verse - a book that I’ve finally decided, reluctantly, needs to be looked at.

I say reluctantly because it’s a depressing book, and depressing not only because it deals with the series of depressing events that befall the story’s main character, but depressing too because the man’s search for an answer to his problems never gets a result that I find satisfying. I’m assuming ...read more

Just Get Some Rest

Contributed by Michael Vaughn on Aug 16, 2007

Rest, rest, rest. This is what I was told after my heart attck at age 34. It’s one thing to be told what you need to do, it’s another thing to be shown where the answer is.

Just Get Some Rest! It’s funny that one of my favorite Bible verses, John 14:27, mentions the word “heart”. You see, I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago, and that is one verse that I have been continually going back to. The KJV reads, “Let not your heart be troubled: neither let it be ...read more
