Prunes | Amazing Health Benefits

Prunes – Amazing Health Benefits In the last fifty years, prunes have earned a reputation more related to power pooping than all the rest of their amazing health benefits. But it was not always so. Prunes have been enjoyed for thousands of years, but it was only recently that some of the benefits were acknowledged by science. Now the dried …

Being There Says More Than All The Words In The World

There was once an elderly, despondent woman who lived in a nursing home. She wouldn’t speak to anyone, nor did she ever request anything. She merely existed – rocking in her creaky old rocking chair. The old woman didn’t have any visitors, however, every couple of mornings, a concerned and wise young nurse would come into her room. She didn’t …

Idiot Plays Roulette With Family Lives | By Colin Black

Why do some parents seem to have such little regard for the safety of their kids? Last Saturday, after an early finish at work, I was up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 9:30 am. The sky was clear and the sun was shining, so a trip to ‘the hills’ was called for. We hooked the caravan (trailer) up, and headed off …

Natural Beauty | By Mrs Usha

To me being beautiful is not a touch of facial makeup, wearing clothes to the taste of modern trends, or wearing high heels on a catwalk.

The Man Who Saved Two Million Children

When James Harrison, from Australia, first started giving blood about 56 years ago, he never thought he would end up saving the lives of over 2 million children.

Will’s Thoughts | I’m Sorry Senior Citizens

Will’s Thought’s – I’m sorry for things that I have not done for senior citizens. I drove past the cemetery on a cold, gray blustery day, and saw an old woman kneeling beside a grave. As the wind whipped her scarf, her concentration never faltered, her gaze was fixed far beyond our world. For a brief second, empathy flooded my …

Will’s Thoughts | War On Drugs Lost

Will’s Thoughts – War On Drugs And Thugs Is A Limp Wristed Action In my opinion, Canada either needs to declare ‘war’ on illegal drugs, or give them to users as legal prescriptions. For decades we’ve heard about what is called a war on drugs, but really, all it has been is a limp wristed ‘military action’ on minor thugs. …
