A Christmas to Remember - MTL Magazine
by Lauren Scruggs
When church was over that evening, we headed to Mike and Shannon’s, friends of ours who had invited us over for a casual dinner. Some other friends came over too. We all ate chili and salad around the long wooden table in their dining room. Christmas music floated in from the sound system.
“Hey, Mike, you mind if I borrow your plane?” one of Mike’s friends asked.
“Help yourself,” Mike said. “You know what to do.” Mike and his friend, I knew, both had their pilot’s licenses.
“Who wants to go flying?” the friend asked. “The Christmas lights are going to be great tonight.” A bunch of people waved their hands.
I don’t know how or why I got to go for a ride first. Everyone else must have been feeling generous. I followed Mike’s friend out through the backyard and into the hangar that’s directly behind the house.
I was helped into the plane and slid into the seat behind the pilot. It was a small plane with only two seats. We put on headphones so we could talk to each other. The pilot went through his checklist, started the plane and warmed it up, and we taxied out.
The night was dark and rainy. Shadowy clouds were thick above us in a starless sky. For some reason I began to feel cold. The heater was on in the tiny plane, but it wasn’t that type of cold. It was more a tingle. A shiver. I took a deep breath and looked out the window.
“Nice lights,” the pilot said.
“Uh huh.”
The feeling shot up my spine again. Unmistakable fear. This is stupid, I thought. Completely stupid. Not the experience of flying but this definite feeling of dread coursing through my body. Mike had vouched for his friend as a strong pilot who was qualified on several levels and owned his own plane. Get a grip, Lo, I told myself. You need to relax.
Up in the air, the atmosphere grew calmer. The rain let up and turned into a slight mist. There was no thunder or lightening. No strong winds. All I heard was the friendly drone of the plane’s engine and the occasional crackle over the microphone’s earpiece. But I still couldn’t shake this crazy fear.
My body grew tense, and my breathing became shallow. My heart thumped in my chest. It wasn’t like me to be afraid. I’m the type of girl who loves an adventure, particularly a tame adventure like we were having tonight. I like to ride bikes and go snow skiing and slalom water-skiing.
I gripped both sides of the plane’s seat harder. And then it hit me. We’re going to crash. I thought my heart was going to explode. Jesus, I prayed. This plane’s going down and we’re all going to die. Oh Lord, my parents and sister. Please watch over them. Whatever happens, God, my life is in your hands.
The Christmas lights were pretty, but I couldn’t really concentrate on them. I don’t remember anything about them. The plane flew in a big circle.
And then we landed.
The air went out of me like a rush from a leaky tire. My fear went along with it. We were safe. Completely safe. The plane taxied back to Mike’s house and pulled up facing into the wind and parked on the tarmac, all set for whoever was going to fly next. Hmmm, maybe I’m cracking up, I thought. I wonder what that was all about?
I don’t remember the pilot saying anything directly to me. I don’t remember anything he said at all. He might have said something. I don’t remember. It was hard to hear him without my speaker on. It’s still pretty loud with the plane’s engine running, sitting on the tarmac.
I remember sliding out of the plane.
I remember my feet touching the tarmac.
I remember the sky was black; we were on the dark side of the plane.
Those three memories took place in a split second, about the time it takes to walk two steps.
It was December 3, 2011, and after that split second, I remember absolutely nothing.

Legacy of Hope - MTL Magazine
Legacy of Hope - MTL Magazine
by Casey Schutrop
Christmas, the season of hope and good will. It is when a dark world pauses to consider the ‘why’ of our past year and the ‘what’ of our future. It is when we seek a glimmer of hope to refresh us. This is the true gift most seek. ‘Peace on earth and good will toward men’…the true Father of Christmas, our Heavenly Father wills this for us, just as a good father is compelled by compassion to gift a blessing of inheritance to his children.
And as an inheritance is given, it is a legacy we are to leave…
As seen in the Word of God, genealogies—the blessing of the father and the Covenant of Peace—show clear that the forming of heritage is gifted by the Father to extend from generation to generation. Just as the Israelites, young and old, gathered to celebrate yearly the Passover meal, traditions can serve as a bridge to teach spiritual heritage from one generation to the next, passing our values, identity and purpose. For it is here we learn values and thus find our value. It is here we learn ‘who we are and to whom we belong’.
Yet now, many families and cultures, rather than leaving a legacy, are leaving this very call. With these bridges fallen, this heritage is not passed. And in the same way, a culture without identity fails. “For without vision the people perish…” KJV Proverbs 29:18. The secret strength of God’s chosen people was their understanding of who they were called to be, along with a unified mission to pass-on a spiritual legacy, and so it is to be ours. For what is the very essence of a generational blessing? To gift…hope.
Framework to families in shifting times…
However, these shaking and shifting times in our culture reflect losses for many—causing the very foundation of our families to be shaken, then in turn, the shifting of personal identities. Therefore, family identities are challenged. Families are made, not from the sharing of mere DNA, but from times together, love given and memories made. Family is how and where we learn to love. Traditions help these memories to take form, providing a strong framework to remind us that we are family. This is the gift we share with one another. For as an inheritance is given, it is a legacy we are to leave.
This is the clarion call: to impart a legacy of HOPE. Yet, how can we pass this hope to the next generation—the very hope of the Church? With traditions that teach, like the grandmother gave within the story, Grandma’s Christmas Legacy, the Testimony of the Tree.
Late one Christmas Eve, a loving grandmother, knowing it may be her last, sat wrapped by the warmth of the fire and within the faint glow of the Christmas tree. It was then she bowed her head and asked God for a gift: that they may know all they need to know of all they are to be. It was then, she looked up and there it was—glistening and adorned in all its glory. And it was then she knew what she was to do. So as the months passed, before she weakened, she penned the pages of a book and prepared the contents of a mysterious old trunk. The story opens almost a full year later under the snowy tufts of winter as the family gathers for the annual decorating of the tree. Here the family makes an amazing discovery.
As an allegory, the Testimony of the Tree message brings rich meaning to our lives as we celebrate Christmas. Here the Lord decorates our lives, adorning us with the ornaments of the beauty of the Lord—the fruit of the Spirit—and crowning us with his purpose that we may leave the ‘why’ of our past to know the ‘what’ of our future; and finally, to stand as a glimmer of hope in a dark world. Perhaps it takes a grandmother’s heart to reveal how the Christmas tree stands to tell the greatest story of all.
“Instead of the thorn bush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.” NIV Isaiah 55:13
For the wonder of Christmas is this…As the babe in the manger came—salvation has come. As the angels announced—hope is ours. As the wise-men bowed—we are invited to do the same. For as an inheritance is given, it is a legacy we are to leave—just as that star which shone over Bethlehem for all to see, that we may stand adorned in strength and beauty, as symbols of hope in a dark world, pointing others to God. For this is our testimony. This is the testimony of the tree—that all would see and know Jesus, the Christ child, the light and HOPE of the world. “For a life devoted to things is a dead life— a stump; but a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.” Start a tradition…Leave a legacy.

Coping with Cancer - MTL Magazine
Coping with Cancer - MTL Magazine
by Michael King
I was thirty-five, married with three little girls at home, and the doctor was telling me I had colon cancer. He didn’t know how far advanced it was, more testing would show that. I had no idea what the future held, how deep the valley would become. I went home and that evening my wife and I argued. She didn’t understand why I wasn’t more upset; I didn’t understand why she was so upset.
Over the next year I learned what it was to suffer, what it was to watch my body waste away, to battle depression, nausea, weakness, more depression, what it was like to feel abandoned and stranded on an island of uncertainty and fear. But I also learned to know God on a whole different level. I learned to rely on Him like I never had before.

For years this disconnect had me convinced I was adopted, because I always felt like I didn’t belong.
Every now and then something would drive that powerful feeling to the surface and I’d go on a rampage. I remember one time in my teens when I frantically searched the house for a piece of evidence— anything that would confirm I was adopted. I had convinced myself my birth mother was somewhere out there. Maybe she was even looking for me.
I threw open every cupboard in the kitchen, rattling the glasses and china like an aftershock. I opened and slammed shut desk and dresser drawers throughout the house. There had to be something somewhere. Just one measly document. I rummaged through closets, tossing aside old shoes, musty sweaters, and dusty boxes of God-knows-what. I turned the house upside down that day like a narc looking for drugs.
With an unexplained desperation, I finally cried to my mom, “I know I’m adopted! Stop lying to me. Just tell me where the papers are. I know it’s true.”
My mom must have thought I was nuts. “Stop it,” she begged. “What are you talking about?” She grabbed a pair of photos and shoved them in my face, comparing our baby pictures side by side. “You look just like me! Why would you even think you’re adopted?” But I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And I couldn’t calm down. Something in me was still convinced I didn’t belong. This was not my home. She was not my mother.
Damaging feelings don’t just show up out of nowhere. They’re birthed from experiences, from moments that wield the power to shape us. Sometimes we can’t even recognize the magnitude of those pivotal events until years later.
When my dad left us, it ripped a hole in my heart—one that began filling with thoughts and feelings that would challenge and ultimately damage my identity and self-worth. The wound of being abandoned travels deep and forever changes you.
Even today I can still close my eyes and feel the emotional chaos that marked my heart when he walked out. I was only two when my dad left, but I still remember it vividly, as if it happened yesterday. In fact, it’s my earliest childhood memory.
Pattie Mallette, known to most of the world as Justin Bieber’s mom, is more than just the mother of a world-renowned pop sensation. Pattie walks a rarely traveled road parenting her son through the unpredictable journey of fame. As a young woman and a single mom, she fought hard to rise above her painful past of abuse, shame, and poverty. Pattie hopes to encourage troubled youth, struggling single moms, and the broken-hearted through her story. She continues to expand her outreach to young women and youth (including her 1.3 million followers on Twitter) while overseeing the management of Justin and his team.

I was a 26 year old in love with Jesus, desperately searching for direction in life and in faith when it all just clicked. With one depth-filled quote, questions that I didn’t even know I’d asked found answers in the depths of my mind.
What is truly important in life?
Where does Jesus fit into it all?
Several years ago I had the awesome opportunity to sit under the teaching of beloved Chuck Colson. A visionary, Chuck unabashedly embedded himself into culture and set out to teach others to do the same –– to live out their faith at work, at home, in politics –– every area of life. Chuck started off his teaching with this profound quote that forever changed my view of life and faith.

Who Will You Trust? by Max Lucado - MTL Magazine
Who Will You Trust? - MTL Magazine
The voices yanked her out of bed.
“Get up, you harlot.”
“What kind of woman do you think you are?”
Priests slammed open the bedroom door, threw back the window curtains, and pulled off the covers. Before she felt the warmth of the morning sun, she felt the heat of their scorn.
“Shame on you.”
“Pathetic.”
“Disgusting.”
She scarcely had time to cover her body before they marched her through the narrow streets. Dogs yelped. Roosters ran. Women leaned out their windows. Mothers snatched children off the path.
Merchants peered out the doors of their shops. Jerusalem became a jury and rendered its verdict with glares and crossed arms.
And as if the bedroom raid and parade of shame were inadequate, the men thrust her into the middle of a morning Bible class.
Early the next morning [Jesus] was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” (John 8:2–5 NLT)
Stunned students stood on one side of her. Pious plaintiffs on the other. They had their questions and convictions; she had her dangling negligee and smeared lipstick. “This woman was caught in the very act of adultery,” her accusers crowed. Caught in the very act. In the moment. In the arms. In the passion.
Caught in the very act by the Jerusalem Council on Decency and Conduct. “The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
The woman had no exit. Deny the accusation? She had been caught. Plead for mercy? From whom? From God? His spokesmen were squeezing stones and snarling their lips. No one would speak for her.
But someone would stoop for her.
Jesus “stooped down and wrote in the dust” (v. 6 NLT). We would expect him to stand up, step forward, or even ascend a stair and speak. But instead he leaned over. He descended lower than anyone else—beneath the priests, the people, even beneath the woman. The accusers looked down on her. To see Jesus, they had to look down even farther.
He’s prone to stoop. He stooped to wash feet, to embrace children. Stooped to pull Peter out of the sea, to pray in the garden. He stooped before the Roman whipping post. Stooped to carry the cross. Grace is a God who stoops. Here he stooped to write in the sand.
The posse grew impatient with the silent, stooping Jesus. “They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up” (v. 7 NLT).
He stood, not to preach, for his words would be few. Not for long, for he would soon stoop again. Not to instruct his followers; he didn’t address them. He stood on behalf of the woman. He placed himself between her and the lynch mob and said, “‘All right, stone her. But let those who have never sinned throw the first stones!’ Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust” (vv. 7–8 NLT).
Name-callers shut their mouths. Rocks fell to the ground. “When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman” (v. 9 NLT).
Jesus wasn’t finished. He stood one final time and asked the woman, “Where are your accusers?” (v. 10 NLT).
My, my, my. What a question—not just for her but for us.
Voices of condemnation awaken us as well.
“You aren’t good enough.”
“You’ll never improve.”
“You failed—again.”
The voices in our world.
And the voices in our heads! Who is this morality patrolman who issues a citation at every stumble? Who reminds us of every mistake? Does he ever shut up?
No. Because Satan never shuts up. The apostle John called him the Accuser.
Day after day, hour after hour. Relentless, tireless. The Accuser makes a career out of accusing. Unlike the conviction of the Holy Spirit, Satan’s condemnation brings no repentance or resolve, just regret. He has one aim: “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). Steal your peace, kill your dreams, and destroy your future.
Condemnation—the preferred commodity of Satan. He will repeat the adulterous woman scenario as often as you permit him to do so, marching you through the city streets and dragging your name through the mud.
But he will not have the last word. Jesus has acted on your behalf.
He stooped. Low enough to sleep in a manger, work in a carpentry shop, sleep in a fishing boat. Low enough to be spat upon, slapped, nailed, and speared. Low. Low enough to be buried.
And then he stood. Up from the slab of death. Upright in Joseph’s tomb and right in Satan’s face. Tall. High. He stood up for the woman and silenced her accusers, and he does the same for you. He stands up.
He “is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us” (Rom. 8:34 MSG). Let this sink in for a moment. In the presence of God, in defiance of Satan, Jesus Christ rises to your defense.
When God looks at you, he sees Jesus first. In the Chinese language the word for righteousness is a combination of two characters, the figure of a lamb and a person. The lamb is on top, covering the person. Whenever God looks down at you, this is what he sees: the perfect Lamb of God covering you. It boils down to this choice: Do you trust your Advocate or your Accuser?

The voices yanked her out of bed.
“Get up, you harlot.”
“What kind of woman do you think you are?”
Priests slammed open the bedroom door, threw back the window curtains, and pulled off the covers. Before she felt the warmth of the morning sun, she felt the heat of their scorn.
“Shame on you.”
“Pathetic.”
“Disgusting.”
She scarcely had time to cover her body before they marched her through the narrow streets. Dogs yelped. Roosters ran. Women leaned out their windows. Mothers snatched children off the path.
Merchants peered out the doors of their shops. Jerusalem became a jury and rendered its verdict with glares and crossed arms.
And as if the bedroom raid and parade of shame were inadequate, the men thrust her into the middle of a morning Bible class.
Early the next morning [Jesus] was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” (John 8:2–5 NLT)
Stunned students stood on one side of her. Pious plaintiffs on the other. They had their questions and convictions; she had her dangling negligee and smeared lipstick. “This woman was caught in the very act of adultery,” her accusers crowed. Caught in the very act. In the moment. In the arms. In the passion.
Caught in the very act by the Jerusalem Council on Decency and Conduct. “The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
The woman had no exit. Deny the accusation? She had been caught. Plead for mercy? From whom? From God? His spokesmen were squeezing stones and snarling their lips. No one would speak for her.
But someone would stoop for her.
Jesus “stooped down and wrote in the dust” (v. 6 NLT). We would expect him to stand up, step forward, or even ascend a stair and speak. But instead he leaned over. He descended lower than anyone else—beneath the priests, the people, even beneath the woman. The accusers looked down on her. To see Jesus, they had to look down even farther.
He’s prone to stoop. He stooped to wash feet, to embrace children. Stooped to pull Peter out of the sea, to pray in the garden. He stooped before the Roman whipping post. Stooped to carry the cross. Grace is a God who stoops. Here he stooped to write in the sand.
The posse grew impatient with the silent, stooping Jesus. “They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up” (v. 7 NLT).
He stood, not to preach, for his words would be few. Not for long, for he would soon stoop again. Not to instruct his followers; he didn’t address them. He stood on behalf of the woman. He placed himself between her and the lynch mob and said, “‘All right, stone her. But let those who have never sinned throw the first stones!’ Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust” (vv. 7–8 NLT).
Name-callers shut their mouths. Rocks fell to the ground. “When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman” (v. 9 NLT).
Jesus wasn’t finished. He stood one final time and asked the woman, “Where are your accusers?” (v. 10 NLT).
My, my, my. What a question—not just for her but for us.
Voices of condemnation awaken us as well.
“You aren’t good enough.”
“You’ll never improve.”
“You failed—again.”
The voices in our world.
And the voices in our heads! Who is this morality patrolman who issues a citation at every stumble? Who reminds us of every mistake? Does he ever shut up?
No. Because Satan never shuts up. The apostle John called him the Accuser.

Why Do We Suffer? - MTL Magazine
Why Do We Suffer? - MTL Magazine By Tullian Tchividjian
We were on I-95 heading south when I got the call. Up to that point the drive had been ecstatic. After two years living in Knoxville, TN, my family and I were returning home to sunny South Florida to plant a church, and we were excited. It was not going to be easy, but it was going to be a lot easier there than it would be anywhere else. You see, in my hometown I was more than an anonymous pastor. I was a Tchividjian. My parents were well established in the community, my mother as a nationally renowned speaker and author, the daughter of Billy Graham, my father as the sophisticated European psychologist whose practice had helped countless people in the area, not to mention the country. My pedigree would be a huge boost. So when I heard my father’s voice on the line, telling me that he and my mother were separating after 41 years of marriage, I didn’t know what to say. Little did I know that it was just the beginning of a painful journey that would turn my life and faith upside down.

Looking for Joy - MTL Magazine
Looking for Joy - MTL Magazine by Rick and Kay Warren
You made the team!
You’ve been awarded a scholarship!
We’d like to hire you!
Will you marry me?
Great job on closing that deal!
You’ve just won an all-expense-paid vacation!
There’s no sign of cancer!
These are some of life’s sweetest moments—when all is right with the world, all your fondest hopes and wildest dreams come true, and your heart nearly explodes with happiness. You could make your own personal “it doesn’t get any better than this” commercial.
But there are also other moments when nothing seems to go your way, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, and your fondest hopes and wildest dreams lie in shattered pieces at your feet. Those are the moment when your heart aches with the bitterness of unfulfilled longings, broken promises, or grief so powerful it threatens to take you to your knees.
Where does joy fit into these scenes from your life?
Sharing meaningful time with family and friends, having a great job, enjoying good health, being financially secure—aren’t these the building blocks for a happy life? Most of us would say these happy moments create joy, don’t they? Probably everyone would agree that feelings of happiness are sometimes tough to come by so you better grab them when you can. Isn’t that enough?

Pray for Your Enemies
MTL MAGAZINE : BRINGING WOMEN MORE TO LIFE : DH
Pray for your enemies
by June Hunt
Have you noticed an assortment of difficult people to be in your life? If so, I understand! Many years ago, I felt deeply hurt by a family member whose tongue and tartness were consistently cruel. I simply prayed, "God, I don't know what to do."
A short time later, I saw a Scripture I'd never noticed before: I Samuel 12:23, "As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you."
The truth is, I had not been praying for her—nor had that thought even crossed my mind. Yet, motivated by this verse, I began praying... and eventually healing began, both in our relationship and in my heart.
If I were to pick a "companion verse," it would have to be the often-quoted, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44). While most people feel drawn to these merciful words of Jesus, many feel resistant when challenged to actually do it. "You want me to do what? Pray for the person who hurt me? That's asking too much!"
I understand that rationale. I once would have chafed against the very notion. It runs counter to our nature. From a human standpoint, genuinely praying for our enemies seems impossible. But we realize that the Bible says, "With God, nothing is impossible" (Luke 1:37) and God often asks us to do things that go against our natural way of thinking and feeling.
Praying for your enemy is not optional—it is commanded by Christ. But what did He really mean by these words?

I’m sorry. You were waiting for the car to get out of the parking place so you could back in. I slid in frontward–I had to do this because I was desperate to get into the store so I could use the men’s room, and there were no other spaces. My apologies. I hope you read this and understand.

Improving Your Marriage Not Your Husband - MTL Magazine

Would you like a stronger, more intimate marriage? Most women see room for improvement in their marriage, but few seldom get the results they desire. One reason? Many try to improve their marriage by changing their husband. This strategy NEVER works! If you engaged in any sort of pre-marital counseling, you were told you can’t change your spouse, but knowing that fact hasn’t stopped the vast majority of women from trying.

You and I are “drawn” to seek out relationships with others. We have an internal drive that propels us toward others. In fact, we have lots of other drives as well: we go online when we are information-driven. We walk to the kitchen when we are hunger-driven. We go shopping when we are clothing-driven. And we talk to people when we are relationship-driven. This isn’t really an option. We are simply designed this way by God.

FlourishSweets.com Mango Key Lime Pie
If you are like me then you have access to lots and lost of fresh mangoes this time of the year. My neighbor has a couple of trees that are producing tons of fruit right now. And don’t get me wrong, I am VERY appreciative of the generous gift. But I am running out of ideas of what to do with all of these mangoes. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Here is the list of mango desserts I have tried:
■Mango fritters – Recipe and Post forthcoming!
■Mango ice cream
■mango bread pudding
■Mango smoothie
■Mango Key Lime pie
Speaking of Mango Key Lime pie – I had to make it. Not just because we are fans of Key Lime Pie in my house but because I had a pie when we were in the Keys that was called Mango Pie. It was the consistency of Key Lime Pie, just full of rich mango flavor. I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to try and make it ever since that vacation 2 years ago.

School Days, Special Days - MTL Magazine Welcome back to school.
sat in the car and watched my little first-grader run up the steps. Her backpack swayed from side to side, too light to stay down. How heavy could a new pencil and small pad of lined paper be?
She had gotten out of the car almost before the wheels stopped turning, shouted a quick “Bye, Mom!” over her shoulder, and never looked back.
I, on the other hand, sat in the car with my mouth half open, a big tear threatening to escape one eye as I watched this monumental event in her life. I was only slightly aware that the carpool line now had a big gap where the car in front of me had long ago reached the corner traffic light. The driver behind me was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel wondering if I was ever going to move. And I was not going anywhere until I saw my daughter safely through the door of the school.

Many of them were authors and speakers like me, only most of them were far more successful. I immediately felt sabotaged by internal questions, “Why was I invited to this party?” “Am I wearing the right clothes?” “God, why am I not more successful like these other authors?” As soon as that last thought travelled through my mind, I realized I was doing it again – I was playing the comparison game.

The Journey Into Manhood - MTL Magazine
The Journey Into Manhood - MTL Magazine
by Shawn Brower
Louis L’Amour once said, “The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast and you miss all you are traveling for.”
From an early age, most boys have a strong and earnest desire to be like the men in their lives. Road-trip shouts from the backseat of “are we there yet” become all too relevant for young men in their pursuit of manhood. Sadly, as time passes, the lack of clarity, a deliberate vision, and a strong guide to follow leaves young men fearful, anxious and uncertain. Spend much time with high school guys, and if they are transparent, you will find this to be shockingly true. In time, their youthful sense of adventure and risk that would reveal more of who they are and uncover who they can become, defaults to calculated, safe steps to bring about life’s security and comfort as grown men. To the observer, “success” appears to have been achieved. But is this a man? Is this what we are aiming for? Is this the life of which boys once dreamed? Is this what a man was designed by God to do? Isn’t there more? For many men, such questions haunt and reverberate through their hearts and minds.

Book of the Year
Nearing Home
Billy Graham
Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 9780849948329
In Nearing Home this man of faith—now in his nineties—explores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. “When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice,” says the author. “Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well. www.mtlmagazine.com

Pricing you home correctly is the key to selling it quickly in today’s market. The truth is many properties never sell, and the listings “expire” without attracting a buyer, because they’re priced beyond the market.

Don't blame the 1% for America's pay gap - The Term Sheet: Fortune's deals blog Term Sheet
Thank you for your recent article in defense of the 1%. While I am not in the one percent I do agree with everything in the article. The facts about one parent homes being more likely to not be in the 1% is message that should be spread.
I feel one factor contributing to the rally against the one percent is liberal education. We should be teaching more economics with an emphasis on the free market system and the benefits of the system.

Hill, Grace Livingston
There are few writers that have been able to combine such a strong passion for God and a wonderful ability to decorate the written page with an endless supply of beautiful texts as hasGrace Livingston Hill. Known as the pioneer of Inspirational Romance, Grace was born in 1865. Her first book, "The Chautauqau Idyl", was published when she was a teenager. Grace went on to write more than one hundred books before her death in 1947.
Review Quotes
This book was simply stunning, one minute I had opened the book and before I knew it I was out of breath and half way through the entire story. I couldn't wait to go to bed the following night to finish it off! Grace Livingston Hill wrote this book in such a way that you will be thrust into the life of Sherrill and her sweet old aunt, Pat and taken along for a ride that you won't quite believe is happening!
Quite seriously, these two characters have more energy, more shenanigan's, and more love in their hearts than anyone I have read about lately. This is a story about faith, hope and trust with a whole lot of fun thrown in!

Your Church Is Too Safe: Why Following Christ Turns the World Upside-Down
Your Church Is Too Safe: Why Following Christ Turns the World Upside-Down by Mark Buchanan published by Zondervan.
Your Church is Too Safe is a biblical reflection and roadmap to making the earthly church more like the heavenly Kingdom it is called to represent. Part celebration and part manifesto, this pull-no-punches book by veteran pastor Mark Buchanan is a plea for churches to return to their roots: to be both good news and bad news, an aroma and a stench ... a disruptive force to whoever or whatever opposes the Kingdom of God.
Looking forward to reading this.
