Yuletide: Glad and Sad Tidings
And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people. (Luke 2:10, Darby Bible Translation) ‘Tis the season to be jolly but truth is, not everyone is jolly. This is a beautiful time of year in neighborhoods, commercial and government buildings, and city streets across the globe. Not every heart matches the... (posted by Avis 51 days 22 hours ago.)

Choosing to be Thankful and a Giver
The day is bright and sunny and the morning air is crisp and sharp. It is mid-morning and the temperature is about 51°F or 10°C. I’ve said, thank you Lord at least several dozen times aloud and in my brain. I thank Him for yet another beautiful day! Living in the South Carolina upstate at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains has sealed it for me. Fall is my favorite... (posted by Avis 78 days 1 hour ago.)

Cry A River or A Bucket of Tears
The baby of our family grew into adulthood being known as a cry baby and bucket of tears. As a girl, young woman, and full-fledged adult could cry on demand. They were real, crocodile tears. Some would settle in the pronounced dimple on her chin that was identical to our dad’s. As a child, I was just the opposite. It took a mighty move of God for me to cry. As a spiritually mature...

The Top 10 Do's & Don'ts of Business Email
Is there a need for this list? Headlines from around the world answer that question with an emphatic, “Yes!” It’s difficult to believe, well-educated business men and women haven’t plugged-in to the fact that nothing’s private about email. As much as I adore Gmail from Google, I’m always uneasy when I open an email and see the top and right side of my inbox showing ads... (posted by Avis 237 days 22 hours ago.)

My Heart Is in Heaven
It’s enchanting to watch new love in the eyes of a young man or woman. With eyes glazed over and in a distant place, you immediately know when the lovers are separated by distance. Come with me as I reminisce, please. Boarding a train in Boston to meet my then fiancé gave one such spectator an enchanting experience.

There is a Brighter Side Somewhere
We, as a people, have gone through many changes over the past few years. There have been losses and gains. The gains have been negative for a core group of people. They have gained stress, negative attitudes, weight, unparalled cynicism, and a greater load of debt they are unable to pay. Of everything you've lost, we want you to know if you are reading this, there is a brighter side... (posted by Avis 1 year 114 days ago.)
