In Isaiah 1:14, God states that the Israelites New Moon festivals had become a burden to him and he was weary of bearing them. God refers directly to his nature of bearing burdens here. To those who suffer through Burden Bearing, do not despair, even the Lord got weary in Burden Bearing, but more on this later. In Genesis 6:5-6 we see aspects of God's heart. He was grieved and filled with pain...
I love being a redhead. Well, a Blonde Redhead (great band, by the way). Now, I don't come by it completely naturally, but I do take the natural route. I use henna powder! Henna is a great way to condition and color your hair without rinsing all those nasty chemicals down the drain, let alone applying them to your scalp! Henna powder is relatively inexpensive, especially comparatively to more...

What can make a kiss so sensational, that it is still talked about and discussed generations later, and even heatedly debated a couple thousand of years later? It makes you wonder, that must have been some kiss! and it
really was.
The kiss in question was between Jesus and his now infamous disciple Judas Iscariot, whom as you may recall, signaled to the Roman Soldiers, whom Jesus was, by...
The year was 1985. US had just carried out air strikes in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Gaddafi had survived but there were rumours that one of his infant child had been killed. Gaddafi moved from one tent house to another in the desert in the dead of the night.
It was the time we had to go to Libya. My father was a surgeon in one of the provices there. The southern province, the capital...
A perfect press release consists of 4 main parts:
NOTE 1: The much abused LEAD-IN "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE" is falling out of favor rapidly. Some Internet press release sites specifically prohibit using the phrase. When in doubt, omit it.
NOTE 2: Similarly, the concluding hash marks "# # #" or "30-30-30" that once upon a time used to denote the end of a press release have also become...
If you missed the news on the recent beef recall, you can still learn all about it by entering Mad Cow Disease in the Google search engine. The video shows employees of the Hallmark Meat Company pushing cows with a fork lift and poking them with pitch forks. The cows were old and sick, not able to keep up with the other cows.

Two machines that promised high definition gaming and multimedia functionality. Nintendo was in a rough place...
Before you go to work today remember to fill the fuel tank with water and add a bit of salt. Check the charge on the battery and you're ready to go.
Stop at the flower shop on the corner, you know, where the gas station used to be, and pick up a bouquet for the office.
Sound too good to be true...well, it could be just around the corner.
A new technology that burns salt water as...
