My wife and I spend most of our date nights eating out, we love it, we get to enjoy great food and have quality conversations at the same time. Recently, we went to an all you can eat restaurant where majority of their menu is deep-fried. We were excited and couldn't wait for our food to arrive. The deep -fried options were our favorite and the crispy chicken was repeatedly ordered. We ate as much as we wanted until we got full. For a moment, we were happy and satisfied but when all the cholesterol kicked in, we felt sick. Feeling guilty from what we ate, we regretted everything and learned our lesson.

I’m currently reading the Old Testament and I’m in the part where God is explaining to Moses how to set up the tabernacle. Honestly, this part is boring and tedious because it’s full of detailed measurements on h...
NEW YEAR's RESOLUTIONS Let’s talk about New Year resolutions. People always make RESOLUTIONS every new New Year symbolizing their desire to be better, to change, or to break a habit. One famous resolution I know is the “I WILL LOSE WEIGHT” resolution. We think of exercising, dieting, eating healthy... BUT somehow we forget or lose determination after a week, don't we? HOW WAS YOUR 2011? Raise your hand up if your 2011 was full of challenges and trials! Emotionally, Financially, Spiritually, Mentally, Physically... I’m raising mine. Everyone should -- we've all experienced some kind of difficulty/pain/bitterness/anger/hatred/discouragement during the past year.. These past experiences may be the VERY REASONS why you've come up with your own NEW YEAR's RESOLUTION. Others may have their "DO's and DONT's" list, Others may have their own BUCKET LIST, and whatever list of things to make 2012 all diffe...
