Is Obama Winning the Hearts and Minds of the Arab and Muslim World? by Larry Elder

“It’s conceivable,” said then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008, “that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, ‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein, and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush.’” A 2008 Zogby International poll surveyed those in the “friendly” Arab countries of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Eighty-three percent viewed the United States “somewhat” or “very” unfavorably...

Real Love Marriage Vows, by Greg Baer, M.D.

...What we all want more than anything else is to feel loved, but not just any kind of love will do. We want to feel loved unconditionally. We want the kind of love we don’t have to earn by pleasing people. We want...

Thankless Job? No Worries!!  by Christy McGlothlin

...That’s not such a bad place to be after all. The lesson we may learn from those moments is just how valuable we really are, despite the fact that we don’t receive the positive reinforcement moment by moment, especially when we are dealing with a toddler’s fits or an angry teenager. We may feel more empty, more alone, and wonder why we spend the time doing tasks that seem to be so easily undone...

Overcoming the Fear of Failure, by Michael Trillo

At the core of the fear of failure was an assumption that perfection was the means that I would find my value as a person. Perfection was the ultimate goal and purpose of life. I used to be fearful of failure. Perfection is one of the most popular and poisonous lies that Satan has taught the world today. The passionate pursuit of perfection was the means I used to try obtain and maintain the elusive love and approval of my Heavenly Father.

UN: Aid Convoys to Gaza Don't Help, by Emet Report

Aid convoys like the May 31 Gaza flotilla “are not helpful to resolving the basic economic problems in Gaza and  needlessly  carry the potential for escalation,” according to a briefing the UN under-secretary-general for political affairs presented to the Security Council on Wednesday.

B.C. and A.D. (Before Delivery and After Children), by Angela Parlin

My life can be divided into two eras: B.C. and A.D. – that’s Before Children and After Delivery. Before Children, I doubt I ever even used the words “poopy diaper,” “placenta” and “pureed peas”. After Delivery, I was able use them all in one sentence – and it would make sense. Before Children, I took for granted the ability to go to the bathroom without an audience. After Delivery, I became a master of heading to the restroom silently, delicately tip-toeing like a ballerina...

According to an article posted on World Net Daily, a staunch labor union consultant to the White House is preparing to wave an entirely new entitlement program idea in front of the President—one that creates government-mandated retirement accounts.Former Republican Colorado Congressman, Bob Beauprez, warns: "If you think ObamaCare was unconstitutional government intrusion, wait ’til you get a load of this next concept!"...

12 Parenting Esentials, by Michael Pearl

...Not just physical security—sometimes parents cannot control the circumstances—but security of soul. It is not only that parents provide food, shelter, and clothes, but that children feel their commitment to do so. This is not about what you do; it is about atmosphere, the very breath of home-life. The soul of a parent is the source of this security. Outward circumstances cannot touch that secret place where children feel their parents’ love and good will....

Stories About Corporate Storytelling, by David M. Armstrong

...Every company had people and therefore stories. So why weren’t they taking advantage of them? Well, today they are. Nowadays, corporate storytelling is—dare I say it—“hot.” The business world is now firmly in the grasp of what the National Storytelling Festival calls, “. . . an international renaissance of storytelling,” which is witnessing people around the world “. . . turning to the ancient tradition of storytelling to produce positive change in our world.”...

Selfish? Me?? by Angela Parlin

...My reaction was something like this: Does anyone really feel that way about people—who are not their spouse or their children, their family or closest friends? I had a hard time taking Paul at his word, believing he was real. And deep down, that didn’t sit well with me. Over the last year, the Lord revealed some of my self-centeredness to me. And let me tell you, it’s a whole lot easier to deal with my revelations of my husband’s selfishness or the obvious bouts of selfishness in my children. I can tell them just what they need to do to fix it, if they’ll listen...
