Well that is what I was informed recently. Which is a real shame because I became rather attached to mine. :) Anger is temporary insanity. But if we are angry all the time? Well then it becomes eternal insanity. :) Anger becomes a habit. It can become our default way of reacting. Anger is often...

In my atheistic phase I used to make fun of Christians who said "Praise the Lord" Now I say it all the time. "The sun is shining today. Praise the Lord." "My dog is smiling at me. Praise the Lord." "I slept well last night. Praise the Lord." And you know what? I feel the gratitude has changed my...

We are much more comfortable in the role of adviser. I know I said it to my younger brother the other day."You really should forgive that person." But looking back now, I see that it is easier for me to say than do. I'm not in his shoes. How does it really feel to be him? I don't really know...

I can tell you what's wrong with you. Would you like to know? Well, I'll tell you anyway. You are a typical ........... You just need to ......... .If I were you, I'd confess those awful sins of yours asap. Now my sins, as few as they are in number these days are hardly serious. Fortunately I've...

I'm studying The Ten Commandments at the moment. Apparently it is also known as "The Decalogue". What our teachers are emphasising is that God gives the Commandments out of love. We should view the Commandments in the context of God's love and a Covenant. So the Covenant emphasises relationship...

You can pray for people. "I'll pray for you." Is that enough? To what extent should we care about others, on here, at work, at home, with strangers? So we obviously "care" more about our close family, our loved ones. Are you willing to go the extra mile, like the Good Samaritan? I must admit...

First reading Deuteronomy 8:2-3,14-16 © Moses said to the people: ‘Remember how the Lord your God led you for forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, to test you and know your inmost heart – whether you would keep his commandments or not. He humbled you, he made you feel hunger, he fed you...

I post for myself as well , even when I am giving advice to someone. its like I need to get it clear in my mind what I think. I want that chance to improve my communication skills. So next time I might give an even better reply. So even if the receiver of advice ignores my post, I have at least...

Do you believe that? Has God always given you exactly what you need? I'm basing this question on Exodus 16:4-5 and Exodus 16:16-21 When God provides the Israelites with manna from Heaven. Just enough for each day except on the 6th day, twice as much as usual to cover the next day, when they...

So easy to lose our focus. From God pleasing to people-pleasing It can gradually slip Until our false gods become others. We serve them instead. Start thinking, "How can I please them?" "How can I appease them?" "Better not upset them?" "Better not sedate them." Writers' occupational hazard?

Not my words. The words of Dr Tim Gray's 4 year old son. I've only recently got on to Tim Gray and the more I listen to him, the more I am impressed. Impressed by not only his biblical knowledge but his incredible faith. This clip is about improving our prayer life.

Examples: -the husband who is sole breadwinner. Who tends to see it as their right to belittle or complain to his stay at home wife about her shortcomings. -staying at a family member's house for 3 or 4 days. The family member may see it as their right to lecture you on where you are going wrong...

I don't have much talent , so it is not a big issue for me. Still I have been guilty of envy several times in my life. I remember being envious of one guy who played the guitar so much better than me. I realised how primitive were my skills compared to him. It actually discouraged me from going...

Exodus Chapter 11 "At about midnight I will go through Egypt and every first born son in Egypt will die, from the king's son who is the heir to the throne, to the son of the slave woman who grinds grain." My question is what about the families with all daughters? Do they go unpunished?

[extract from Catechism of the Catholic Church] 1221 But above all, the crossing of the Red Sea, literally the liberation of Israel from the slavery of Egypt, announces the liberation wrought by Baptism: You freed the children of Abraham from the slavery of Pharaoh, bringing them dry-shod...

So when I arrive home you say..... "Babe, its been so lonely without you. Every second I spend with you is golden, every second you are absent is an utter waste." And then when I wash the dishes you say.. "You are the best husband any wife could wish for. I'm so blessed." And then when I change...

Acts 4:31 "They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness." I'm guessing that a lot of people read this to mean "we have to spread the Word strongly, whether people want to hear it or not." It is certainly an evangelising context. Being raised a Catholic...

We are paid for our efficiency. But don't you get the feeling sometimes, that work is closer to frenzy than sanity? I feel controlled by the clock. "I must get this done by 10.00am. I must get this done by 11.00am" Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. Oh and your boss reminds you of how important...

Do you ever worry that your friends or family will read what you've written here on CF? That's why I take myopic licence here to disguise it. 9 boys. Can you believe it? No girls. And I am the 4th. I grabbed the "middle child" trophy and use it to make all kinds of excuses. Lack of identity...

I can remember times in my twenties and even thirties when I was in incredibly good physical shape. I could jog 10 km after work and also go to the gym. There were natural highs from exercise and fitness. I can remember times when I just felt so good to be alive. At these times it was easy to...
