I still think that is so amazing since I don't sing well. But I try. God wants us as we are and He wants us to give him our best! He asks us for our first fruits, not our leftovers. Acts 2:47 says that the church is "praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved" (NKJV). Isn't that amazing! Our worship is such a witness to others around us that they t...

The success came with a cost. - The Washington Post Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:54 AM PST There's just one problem: everyone hates that character.

At first glance, Mr. Game & Watch may seem a curious target for ire. He resembles a squat stick figure more and is an homage to some of Nintendo's earliest releases: a series of 59 handheld consoles, each pre-loaded with a single game. G...

By adulthood, we are prolific. We lie to our employers, our partners and, most of all, one study has found, to our mothers . The average person hears up to 200 lies a day, according to research by Jerry Jellison, a psychologist at the University of Southern California. The majority of the lies we tell are "white", the inconsequential niceties – "I love your dress!" – that grease the wheels of human interaction. But most people tell one or two "big" lies a day, says Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. We lie to promote ourselves, protect ourselves and to hurt or avoid hurting others. The mystery is how we keep g...
