| Article Title :: What Would You Do If It Was You? |
| |
| You are the architect of a goal that you are passionate about. You have just designed the most beautiful structure you have ever seen. It has consumed your waking and sleeping hours for months now. It is your baby and you can see it, taste it, almost touch it, but your contractor doesn’t believe that he can build it.It is too fantastic he says and out of his league. There is no way that a building like that could maintain its integrity built on a slope like that. How can you even get men over there when there is no road or bridge?
It is impossible to build it the way you want. Can you change it? Make it less grand?No said the architect, I want it this way. This is what (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How I Learned to Give |
| |
| I learned what it means to give when I was 22. Sure, I thought I knew before then. My parents had raised my brother and I with the philosophy that the first 10-percent of any money we made went to the church, the second 10-percent went to savings, and the rest of the money was ours to spend or give away accordingly.But when I was 22, I met a homeless man named Fred who taught me what giving really means. Fred trudged through the glass double doors of the church where I worked one cold and snowy day in rural Pennsylvania. He was thin; his beard and hair were scraggly and unkempt. His face, hands, and ears were a wind-chapped red. His denim jacket had ripped-out elbows and he wore it (read full article) |

We both seem to have gotten contemplative on where our lives are leading – and if we really want to pursue that direction!For me – I am 32 years old. I feel like an “ old soul” sometimes. I’ve been through a lot in my life. I am so blessed and thankful to be where I am today, with a loving husband and beautiful, precious children.

| Article Title :: Will the World Be a Better Place for You Having Lived? |
| |
| There is no doubt that there have been some wonderful people in this world who have given so much. They have made (and continue to make) it such a better place for them having lived. Those still living and those deceased give so much. The quality of their contributions to the human race enriches us all. Will that apply to you?People such as writers John Steinbeck, Agatha Christie, Nelson deMille, Lee Child, Dean Koontz, the Bronte sisters and so many others enrich our lives with their words. Entertainers like John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Jon Fogarty, Dean Martin, Barry White, Nana Moskouri, Judith Durham, Yanni and, again, so many others, also enrich us.

| Article Title :: Turning "Ho-Ho's" Into "Oh-Oh's" |
| |
| Do you remember when, as a child, you were promised something…whether literally or your interpretation…and it never came to pass? Remember how disappointed and perhaps very angry you were. And remember how the same thing happened over and over and how you began to think that there was something wrong with you…that you weren’t good enough. And remember how you began to believe that same thing coming into your adulthood to one extent or another.Your expectations of yourself and of others began to take on a very problematic tone. It seemed that nothing ever worked out for you the way that you thought or wished it would. You may have come to believe that you just needed to (read full article) |

| Article Title :: It Only Takes a Spark |
| |
| "The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion
and the will to help others." Albert SchweitzerTo get a fire going. Ahhh! We know that only too well. One poorly-timed word, sideways glance or accusatory question to a teenager...and sparks go flying. Before you know it, voices start running up an octave or two, muscles start tensing and words start spewing forth for the impending, unavoidable flare-up. A veritable bonfire could be in the works before you know it! Ha! No one ever told you this parenting thing would be easy. Call for such stamina, nerves of steel and worn-out knees.On the flip side, it only takes the spark of one individual, one heroic voice, on (read full article) |
