Our Bread from Heaven

"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. I am the bread of life… Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from

A Caregiver

Taking care of an aging parent can cause fatigue, stress, even depression. But you can find help -- if you know where to look.


Ten years ago, Margo Aparicio rescued her widowed mother, Genevieve, from near death because of a neglectful aide. Although she did it out of love, Aparicio never imagined the toll caregiving would take on her health and emotions.


Genevieve suffered not only from diabetes, incontinence, and dementia but also

My husband is a messy slob and it is driving me mad

My husband's messiness is driving me insane. I have been married for 17 years and known him for 23. We have three children from 11 to 16 and live abroad, both working in demanding jobs. My husband travels a lot; I hardly travel at all. I went back to full-time work six years ago, having done some consultancy work while bringing up our children. Between jobs, chores and children there is little quality time for each other, but we accept this and share tasks as much as possible.

A Business Is Created


Jack is a farmer, and he is interested in starting up an apple stand for the tourists who pass his place. Since Jack has fairly good credit, he got a business loan to cover the costs of set up, and he now has the ideal land for apple growing. Unfortunately Jack only set aside enough money for getting his land in shape. He forgot all about buying seeds. By a

A mom’s anger, What to do with it?

My mom has serious anger issues. What should I do?


My mom is always mad at me for some reason. (Like all other children who ask this question.) She always complains about how I never do anything at all and how I don't contribute to the family. I do, I help and clean, I do what she asks me (but I

The Elusive key to emotional mastery: Is it really that simple?

Let me steal and retell a little story from one of my favourite authors.


Two ducks float peacefully along in their pond; suddenly one crosses too far into the other duck's territory. A fight starts - fast and furious. It lasts for only for a few seconds before just as suddenly they float off in their respective directions. As they do so, they flap their wings furiously, and then they return to their peaceful floating as if the fight never

If I become a Christian, will I feel imprisoned or like I am giving up my Freedom?

Does Christianity put one in a straight jacket? Well, consider this. A fish, because it absorbs oxygen from water rather than air, is only free if it is restricted and limited to water. We argue that man without God is like a fish out of water.


Tim Keller in his book Reason for God observes that "One of the principles of love-either love for a friend or romantic love-is that you have to lose independence to attain greater intimacy.

How can I help my best friend stop snorting cocaine?

My friend admitted to me today to me that he is addicted to cocaine. We do not go to the same school anymore but never the less, were still very close. He started snorting cocaine at the end of April.


He says he loves the feeling and now gets the urge to do it in school (which he now does). I am trying to tell him as casual as I can that he should not be doing that but there is no getting through to him. His answer is "I want to tell you I would
