    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A number of years ago researchers performed an experiment to see the affect hope has on those undergoing hardship. Two sets of laboratory rats were placed in separate tubs of water. The researchers left one set in the water, and found that within an hour they had all ...read more

    During Lent, many people give up something they enjoy eating--chocolate for instance--in order to focus on and consider anew the sacrifice Jesus made for humankind. This season, however, rather than giving up something outward and physical, I suggest giving up discouraging words. It’s difficult ...read more
