Believing

I have been believing God for the past year and a half, for healing of a terrible condition known as "Trigeminal neuralgia". I do not write this for sympathy, but to be of encouragement. Pain will drive people to do things they otherwise would not do. It also deeply influences how a person interacts with other people. It can be hard to believe for healing when pain is racking your body, because th

I came across these twice in the past few days - once on a pf site which i can't remember for the life of me, and the other in this month's Money Magazine - so I'm taking it as a sign to share :) Some of these i've fell for, and others are brand spankin' new (and interesting) to me.While i usually don't know what to believe out there, I'm sure these "experts" know what they're talking about. That'

Under the title “How is believing in miracles helpful in one’s spiritual growth? () by Anjali Gadiraju one reads the following:- “Once Bhagavan said to an old man, “Today is the death anniversary of your wife.” Bhagavan even told him more details. He may have met so many people in between. Yet He remebers everything and [...]

This is a fun little image that I found online. It has been so long since, I found it that I have no clue where I got it from, hence no credits [Website - TheLostGirl’s Blog]. The picture is an optical illusion with a cross in the centre and dots, where one disappears, then the next [...]

If you’ve ever tried to stop smoking on your own, no doubt you’ve faced horrible failure. This is to be expected because the human condition will set up lies for itself in order to stay in its comfort zone, and you’ve set cigarettes up as a comfort zone!

Nearly 2,000 Nears ago the apostle Peter had a dramatic visit from a heavenly messenger. Even today some: people tell of receiving help from angels.A small child named Pat lost her leg in an accident and bled profusely. At the hospital she overheard a doctor tell her mother, "She won't last until morning." A short time later. Pat felt a gentle hand on her forehead and heard someone say, "Go to sle

A letter from Jonah SI don't know exactly who or what is God or Godess but do believe that there could be a high being or creator. Maybe as many you say there might not be, but my question to you people is this: Why do you come so strongly against people believing in God?Why attack people who believe different than you? Science is just as factual as many religions. I mean both evolution and Islam

Ok, what you do is watch the video. Listen to what he is saying. "Da, da, da". Right? Ok, now listen to the video with your eyes closed. Hear anything different? "Ba, ba, ba". Are you confused? So was I, so I'll explain to you what is happening. The guy is actually saying "ga, ga, ga", but is recorded over by the guy saying "ba, ba, ba". Since you see "ga, ga, ga" and hear "ba, ba, ba", your

As I’ve said before, I’m not a reader nor fan of fantasy preferring MY fiction to be rooted in reality.  Hmmm . . . Allegory, like the Narnia series,  majors on plot: it’s a representative fiction with the story employing symbolic events and characters along the way.  Prince Caspian, like the others, is specifically and unabashedly Christian [...]

I know that the media is very convincing that the sky is falling.  Some are you are believing it and are going to hold out no matter what the numbers say.  For those of you who just need a boost of confidence this should do it.  I have outlined 3 of the largest communities in Ashburn 20147.   These numbers [...]

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself” Franklin Delano Roosevelt “An unpleasant and often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. . . Fear is completely natural and helps people to recognize and respond to dangerous situations and threats. However, healthy fear–or fear which has a protective function–can evolve into unhealthy [...]

So, we’re just a few minutes away from brand new episodes of CBS’ Monday night comedies and I had kind of forgotten how excited I get about my favorite shows until this moment. It feels like forever since I’ve spent time with Barney and Ted. It won’t matter how good or bad this episode is, [...]

Can you imagine the feeling of being let known about one's future? How would you react when someone tells you that you will live for 100 years? How would you respond when someone sees your palm and forecasts the upcoming events in your life? I bet most of you would simply ignore the predictions thinking that you are being fooled. But then this also depends on 2 cases. The first case - If you are

Experiencing the Reality of Christ in a Spiritually Blind WorldLast night I was watching a program from the History Channel called “The Naked Archaeologist.” It’s hosted by an Israeli-born Canadian Simcha Jacobivichi, who is one of the professors of archaeology at the University of Toronto. Simcha is a bit of a comedian and his off beat approach to the sometimes dreary subject of archaeology is very entertaining. In fact, I think that he is so good at it that we’re going to be discussing a few of his programs at the Monday Night Bible Study group starting tomorrow night. So, if you’d like to come along and be educated and entertained by Biblical Archaeology, then you’re welcome to join us tomorrow in the parlor at 7.15pm.Enough with the church commercials, the reason I started

Friends at work indulging me with you're better offs and a glass of red with my lunch. My mom insisting that even though she liked him, he wasn't the one for me. My sister calling him a fool when she said she'd watch TheDog for the night. I know they were all trying to make me feel better, but I'd rather just not think about it. Which is why I neglected the work I should have caught up on over

Believing in your own wordsI just finished watching a movie called Stardust and I loved it! Now I know why Nurul kept babbling about this movie. Haha! I was having difficulty following the beginning of the show since its all magical and some things just do not make sense, but halfway it was so exciting. Love it and yes I love the ending too!Its the chinese new year and we are having 2 days public holiday. Yay! This means that this weekend is 4 days long and who does not love holidays right? Yesterday the family and me went to East Coast for picnic. Well, a picnic in our family means that an eat-all-you-can fiesta. Haha! Actually I was not sure whether I was going since I had a follow up appointment on the same day and knowing me, I will never cancel out on an appointment for leisure. But t

Yes I know I haven’t posted in awhile but between getting ready for Christmas, prepping for our Disney World vacation in two days, and the 5 birthday parties (3 in one day!) we’ve been to in the last week alone -- their isn’t much time for anything else.The most interesting birthday party of the bunch was a Scooby Doo themed one in "the hills" with a Scooby and Shaggy impersonator.During their whole comedy routine about 99% of the parents (entertainment-types) were standing in a nearby tennis court networking while this one mom and I were sitting near our scared kids. They were pretty frightened of the Scooby Doo -- I think maybe because his costume looked like it had a rough night in Tijuana, or maybe because he was holding his tail like a baton and would start hitting kids on the h

One of the major benefits of online dating is the ability to remain anonymous. As we all know there is something about an air of mystery that excites many of us. The less a person reveals about themselves, the more we want to know about them. That is human nature and its something online dating exploits quite effectively. Being anonymous also seems to liberate many of us. People become less inhibited about sharing their inner thoughts online with people they really don't know. And that brings us to the flip side of being anonymous online; the power to deceive. Whether it's exaggerating a dating profile or putting up a fake picture, online dating comes with built in pitfalls. Even if you are with a dating service that does a great job of screening prospective suitors, there is no one hundred percent guarantee. Many people that lie are quite good at it and being anonymous only sharpens their skills. Are you being misled? Here are some ways you can find out. 1. Good Answer. Maybe Too

Believing the words of those you trustLook at the picture above. Isnt it lovely? I have always have a thing for beaches and I simply love the feeling of walking along the beach, especially during sunset. The atmostphere is so serene to me and to be able to walk along the beach on a daily basis with my loved one, shall for now remain a dream, but I shall achieve this soon enough.Anyway, this picture above represents many things. You can interpret yourself.This week has been filled with so many fulfilling events and news. I am excited to share with you, with the hope that you will find your own inspiration from daily events.

A Faith Worth Believing: Finding New Life Beyond the Rules of ReligionNon-fiction, by Tom Stella Retail: $14.95Published March 2005A clear-sighted and much improved approach to religious faith. I no longer believe that I must, by adhering to the rules of religion, strive to win God's favor. Rather, I must learn to be attuned to God present within all creation, writes the author. An excellent book!

I got some disconcerting news for any Catholics who believe this is a miraculous appearance of Pope John Paul. If this is he trying to communicate from the beyond....portraying himself as a fiery being emerging from the earth....he ain't in Heaven. Sorry about that.

It's easy to get caught up in the past. For most people, its unfathomable how bad the Chargers, Saints, Bears and Bengals are. On the same note, it's hard to believe how good the Browns, Packers, Raiders and Lions are. The first step of grief is denial, which seems to be the word of the day around the ESPN offices in Bristol. Looking at their latest power rankings, they have the Chargers (1-3)

It's amazing to me that when things get tough for some of us; our vision become obscured and we have to step back to gather our wits. Nobody likes to admit this so it's okay if this has only happened to me and a few others. One day, I received a letter in the mail and I needed to have a certain amount of money by a certain date. I didn't panic, I just said: "Lord, that's Yours." That kind of faith came from a reservoir of studying the Word of God and walking it out.The Bible says in Hebrews 11: 5, 6: By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. I really want to focus in on faith. I want to focus in on your ability to believe God. Faith isn't something that comes

FM: Tips for those wannabe thieves. If you're caught stealing, just say that you own the supermarket. Check out the story below:PENANG: He was charged in a magistrate’s court with shoplifting two bottles of gin worth RM91.98 from a supermarket but the 53-year-old man was under the delusion that the supermarket belonged to him.“I didn’t steal. I heard voices telling me to go and take the bottles. The supermarket is mine, how can that be considered stealing?” claimed Teoh Cheng Peng.He said this when he was called up Tuesday at a magistrate’s court after a psychiatric report on him was tendered.Teoh, however, insisted that he wished to plead guilty to the charge of stealing two bottles of Rose Mary Churchill Dry Gin from the Giant supermarket in Penang Plaza, Burmah Road, at 12.35pm on July 2.This prompted the court to explain to him that his psychiatric report had established he was of unsound mind and unaware of his offence and that he would be sent to stay at the psychiatri

It might have taken Thomas Friedman too long to realize that the Iraq war was a foolish mistake, but at least he is not going to be fooled by claims that the surge has been a success: There’s only one thing at this stage that would truly impress me, and it is this: proof that there is an Iraq, proof that there is a coalition of Iraqi Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds who share our vision of a unified, multiparty, power-sharing, democratizing Iraq and who are willing to forge a social contract that will allow them to maintain such an Iraq — without U.S. troops. Because if that is not the case, even if U.S. troops create more pockets of security via the surge, they will have no one to hand these pockets to who can maintain them without us. In other words, the only people who can prove that the surge is working are the Iraqis, and the way they prove that is by showing that violence is down in areas where there are no U.S. troops or where U.S. troops have come and gone. Because many Americans

I remember heavy summer evenings when the tired sun would sink into the shadows of the horizon. When the last remnants of day would meet to mingle with the evening for a few moments before parting to say goodbye. The stars would begin to appear in the lavender twilight that gently gave way to the deep purple of the night. Laughter and voices of my parents and neighbors chatting mixed with the sounds of crickets carried through the air on a hot evening breeze; as the other children on the block and I played just out of reach of their shadows.A childhood melody that still plays in my mind. Barefoot in the grass and cautious of the slimy slugs that seemed to find their way beneath our feet. We would watch as the night came alive. One by one they seem to materialize out of the darkness filling it with the flickering dance of fireflies. Bright green glimmers of light lasting only for a moment before fading back into the darkness from which they emerged. Shrieks of surprise and laug

If it bleeds it leads is one reason we are all too well aware of as to why the news has more good then bad; even when more good than bad may have happened. Watch any local newscast and the coverage is wall to wall crime, accidents and anything that might bring in the viewers hoping for some action and car chases. In Iraq, from Abu Ghraib, Fallujah to Haditha, the truth isn’t nearly as important as the story; much like the Duke Lacrosse players in their travails and tribulation facing prison time for a rape they did not commit nor even happened. All this is unfortunate for us in that it leads to an acceptance of what isn’t as those it is, which brings us to all the horror stories of our soldiers in Vietnam as baby killers and presently our heartless “killers” in Iraq. Perhaps if the media wasn’t so starved or easily self-mislead toward the worst in us in a war they disagree with we might have a true picture of what exactly is going on. Mackubin Thomas Owens, cont

Getting ready for work the other day, my 12 year old developed an ear ache. I knew it was nothing serious given her age and the fact that only minutes before she was fine. Yet, the temptation was too great to not take a quick peek. That is the blessing and curse of being a doctor-mom! So, peering in I confirmed what I already knew: nothing was going on. True, she had a tad of fluid from allergies but I didn't need an otoscope to know that since she was a known hay fever sufferer and the pollen count was through the roof that week. A touch of over the counter ibuprofen and allergy meds later, she was on the road to feeling better and without a real doctor's visit. It occurred to me as I was driving to work that my day would likely be filled with similar complaints, as typical. Despite the fact that most kids truly are well, parents often have times believing in that wellness and come in very quickly at the first sign of trouble, or perceived trouble. You may think that

Journey - “Don’t stop believing”  Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin anywhere Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit He took the midnight train goin anywhere A singer in a smokey room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill Payin anything to roll the dice, Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on (chorus) Dont stop believin Hold on to the feelin Streetlight people

Faithful readers of this blog know what a hero and inspiration Jim Henson continues to be to me (I lobbied unsuccessfully for each of my kids to have "Henson" as a middle name. Hmpf.) Anyway, I want to share some marvelous wild Henson geniusness I've come across recently: Jim Henson video collection at the University of Maryland . I am especially excited about watching the "Experimental Films", some of which I have read about many times but never thought I'd get to actually see. The Cube. Henson's wild film about a man trapped in a cube that others can enter and leave, but he has to figure out how to get out himself. Thanks to my super-wonderful brother, I now have my own copy of this. You can actually download it, it's in the public domain now. Or just watch it. (About an hour long.) Timepiece. The Oscar-nominated short. Watch Jim Henson paint an elephant lavender, among other things. (About 9 minutes.) Wilkins Coffee commercials. We've said "A house just isn't a home w

INTRODUCTION: Craig has been studying and researching the human mind, the "last unexplored frontier" for the past decade and he is currently "working" on the connection (overlap) between mind and spirit, the relationship between psychology (science of the mind) and the spiritual world, God. A fascinating subject!

Several years ago, a small farming community was experiencing a terrible drought. The leaders of the community called a prayer meeting in hope of everyone attending and holding a group prayer for rain.One man was in attendance with his small son. As everyone was praying, the small boy reached up and tugged his father's shirt to ask, "Daddy, what is everyone doing?" The man explained that
