    The suggested response for how to process that and thank him is simply to be his friend.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more

     | 1,898 views

    “It isn’t necessary for [others] to like me to save my life, and I don’t need to like them for me to be saving their lives.”

    The Guinness Book of World Records keeps track of some very unusual records. The 1999 edition contains one entry titled, “The longest time living in a tree.” It seems a man in Indonesia named Bungkas went up a tree in 1970 and has been up there ever since. He lives in a crude tree house made ...read more

     | 338 views

    Jesus must have our highest allegiance as the center of our life.

    “Great crowds were traveling with Jesus (Luke 14:25),” we hear. He’d rather they be students, or learners which is what disciple means from the Latin word discipulus. So, he teaches them three “cannots,” which is a great way to weed out the casual observers from the more serious followers because ...read more

  • Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time Year A-- 1/60th Of Salt

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2026
     | 90 views

    1/60 is 1.66%, adding this small amount of salt to food would not only be "flavorful" but would likely make the food taste quite salty!

    For the Jewish people, 1/60th was the mathematical fraction if some non-Kosher food, like Korean Galbi -- marinated grilled beef or pork short ribs-- was accidently mixed-in to your Kosher food- it would still be OK to eat since 1/60th is such a small amount. Not 1/60th, but with lots of salt, ...read more
