  • UK Holiday Entertainment is Like No Other - Well we all know that the entertainment in the UK is by far one of the best in the world, from live concerts to kids acts, to television entertainment such as Britain's got Talent.

  • New Age Spirituality - Inspirational Stories ( Part 34 ) - From the subjective standpoint we may see that certain acts have a tendency to exalt and ennoble us, while certain other acts have a tendency to degrade and to brutalise us. But it is not possible to make out with certainty which acts have which kind of tendency in relation to all persons, of all sorts and conditions.

  • Getting Dressed Takes Patience - I have an odd sort of confession: it takes me forever to get dressed in the morning. I’m not talking about my jeans, sweater and socks. Those things only take a minute to throw on (unless my jeans shrunk in the dryer!). What I mean is getting dressed with the items God instructs me to put on in Colossians 3:12.

And when my kids dilly-dally around before school in the morning, being gentle with them doesn’t even cross my mind. I deal with putting on kindness and gentleness occasionally (of course, my kids might claim otherwise) but, overall, I don’t struggle with them every day.

In my world there is one more level, and you find it very rarely, it transcends the 'great' designation, A Place To Belong, belongs in that place!
