by Chris Ruden You’re trying to lose weight and you’re determined to achieve a certain goal by a certain deadline. But for some reason or other your efforts didn’t pay off as expected.

by Jenn Ryan It seems like every time my fiancé and I are at the grocery store, we happen to walk past aisles that sells loaves of bread for 99 cents or a huge bag of chips for a couple dollars. We gawk at these prices—how could anything so cheap ever be healthy? Isn’t good food more expensive? A study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2013 shows that eating healthier foods cost, on average, $1.56... 1/31/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Randy Stocker Wouldn’t it be nice if we could read the mind of someone who is grieving? We know that they are hurting from their loss, but they won’t accept our help or listen to our advice? They are asking themselves, “Why did this happen? Why can’t I cry? Why did God do this to me?” We really want to help, but just don’t know how. I lost my mother, Jean, and my two daughters, Jenelle-age 19, and Amy-age 9 to a... 1/30/2023 5:00:00 AM
