If all it takes to have a healthy self-image is natural physical beauty, there would be no anorexic supermodels.
Dr. Henry Morgentaler, recently awarded the "Order of Canada" and considered by many Canadians to be one of the most prolific murderers of the unborn, is a Polish Jew who survived the Auschwitz death camp. He refers to the Holocaust as the reason for his "every child a wanted child" slogan.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 60% of Americans are obese. 
For the first two years of my marriage, I used the Birth Control Pill (BCP). I really thought nothing of it. When the walk-in-clinic doctor first perscribed it to me, he said only that there was a risk of blood clots; a risk that was supposedly greater if actually pregnant. My only complaint in those two years was the evening nausea I often experienced as a side-effect of the hormones . . .
Some people have sex because they're in love. Others have sex because everyone else is; or for fear they'll lose their partner if they don't. Still others have sex to try and boost their self-esteem; to feel wanted. And some say they have sex just for fun.
In my lifetime, I've met Christians who are like waves tossed on the sea. Their walk with God lacks vitality; they do not bear much fruit because they are too busy fretting over how "weak" or "strong" their faith might be. When trials strike, they feel singled out and worry that God is punishing them for some terrible sin they must have committed. When God doesn't answer their prayers exactly as they want him to, they doubt God even hears their prayers.
Whoever it was who came up with the concept of “100 Calorie Packs” is a marketing genius. I mean seriously, this person (or persons) has hit the jack pot. With the countless diet merchandise and foods already out there, it’s impressive that someone came up with something so deceptively simple; it has already permeated every grocery and convenience store shelf out there with immediate success. Psychologically, the advertising possibilities are endless. People are falling for this hook, line and sinker. Made by Nabisco, these 100 Calorie Packs offer any one of your favorite, forbidden snack foods in a mini little package. Doritos, Oreo Cookies, Ritz Crackers, Teddy Grahams . . . whatever it is you’re craving, chances are you can find it wrapped up all pretty in a “100 Calorie” bow.
I’ve been reading through the Old Testament and it seems so shocking the way the Israelites were constantly forgetting the Lord and going back to worshipping idols made of gold. I’ve always found that hard to comprehend: If you saw God part the Red Sea with your own eyes, how could you later “forget” about him and bow down to a hand-crafted, golden calf, of all things? Yet every generation seemed to breed a new generation that had no interest in God. And of course, the children hadn’t seen the miracles of God firsthand, as their parents had, so to them, it really had no more effect on their lives than any “fairytale” might.
I debated whether or not to post this article, because, well, I do find this embarrassing: I’m sorta putting my pride on the line here by writing these things, BUT . . . here goes.
I vividly remember a time when I was young, perhaps eleven, when I was sitting with a group of boys and girls the same age, listening to a Sunday School teacher talk to us about some important spiritual lesson. Now I have no idea what that lesson was, I simply remember one split second of that night – a memory that has stayed with me ever since.
When I was sixteen, I worked on a project in high school that ended up being the first step in my research concerning the controversial issue of abortion. Since then, the subject of abortion became a deep-rooted passion within me–my heart longing to expose the truth to others . . . as well as the lies.
Do you find yourself constantly worried and stressed out about things? Are you anxious or fearful on a regular or daily basis? Do worry, fear and even paranoia consume and control your life? Do you long to be free?
Going to Africa this summer was an eye-opener in more ways than one. Things that I saw and heard that impacted my life will always be with me. Some were lessons that will bless me throughout my life, others will haunt me always. There is a lot of pain and suffering in this world and we all know this. Seeing some of this suffering first hand is a very sobering experience, to say the least.Site by: Prodigy Digital Solutions
