Unconditional Love
Unconditional Love
By Madeline Mauro
Living life with Unconditional Love can change your whole perspective of humanity. Just think of it. You are loved, and there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening. You can be a defiant person, and you will not stop this Love from loving you. You cannot change Unconditional Love’s mind. You are stuck with the fact that it is the truth!

The courage to get out of the boat
The courage to get out of the boat
By Lisa Mayer
Peter had a choice to make once. He was on the boat, asleep, and he woke up to see Jesus walking on the water. The Apostles were so afraid. But not Peter. He said, "Lord, if it is you, then call out to me to come to you on the water." And Jesus called him. So Peter went. He stepped out of the boat into a raging storm and did the impossible--he walked on the water.

Timelessness
Timelessness
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A child’s death from a ravaging illness seems to us to be outrageously premature, since in our time frame life ideally lasts into advanced adulthood.

Frugality
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
“Backclipping” is the name given to the linguistic anomaly of amputating words. For instance, for “mathematics” we say “math,” for “teenager” we say “teen,” and so on. Try whiling away your time waiting at stoplights by thinking of other backclipped words, such as exam, lab, demo, intro, tech, rehab, decaf, and the like. Why do we tend to shorten such words?

A Scriptural Christmas – Part 1
A Scriptural Christmas – Part 1
By Joby Provido
The story of Christ’s birth has its romanticized version of a cozy manger complete with ox and donkey, angels appearing to shepherds, and the visit from three kings. They are represented in the nativity scene we display during the Christmas season, and we sigh with comfort as we remember this cute heart-warming story.

Expectancy
Expectancy
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Trust includes a reliance on God’s pattern and purpose for our lives, even when to us it appears meaningless, purposeless, and unattainable. Deeper levels of trust lead to an overwhelming assurance that God is the God of the future as well as the past and present; the future is in his perfect control.

Happiness
Happiness
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A craggy farmer once gave me an unsophisticated guideline for success that abounded with homespun wisdom: “Gumption,” he opined, “is partly grit and partly grin.” By “gumption” he meant willingness to grapple with a problem; “grit” implies determination in that effort. The “grin” is the anticipated satisfaction of accomplishment.
