The BEST RESPONSE to my situation was to GET RID of the BITTERNESS and ANGER. Let God handle the rest.  

As Kelly Minter says, we live in a time "when the word LOVE means just about anything under the sun, and therefore almost nothing." So how can we know what love really is? Answer: look at Jesus. He SHOWS us what love is...and much of what He demonstrates is having a servant-heart and putting others first. To enter the contest, email Janet your definition of love.

Winston Churchill, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”  What can you do to make a bigger difference?  How rich is your life?   Feeling like you have nothing to give?

I was gifted a Bible when I was in my 20s, but after reading the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, I heaved the book across the room, not to pick it up again until almost a decade later. Finally, when I realized God was calling me, I read the entire Bible in one year (that's easy if you'll read 4 chapters/day, skipping 1 day/wk to go to church). As I learned more about God and His love for us, and His will for us, I realized my behavior wasn't matching up very well with that of a good Christian. I decided to dig deep. I asked myself questions like: if God is really speaking, was I listening the way I...
