Drug Dependency Therapy
I wrote, last week, suggesting ways in which to deal with mischief and destruction. Titled Antidotes To Vandalism, the theme centred on the way in which the breakdown in family and community has on young lives, plus the misuse of the internet creating the sentiment that anti-social behaviour might be...

Antidotes To Vandalism
Vandalism! Is it fun? Well, it would appear to be so.
Strolling through the parks, on our usual daily walk, I pointed out to my husband a young tree that had been damaged.
'Could that have been caused by the strong winds we've had recently?' I asked, doubtfully.
We then saw two more....

A Miraculous Moment
Have you ever experienced an episode in your life that was so thrilling you'll never forget it? Perhaps it was the healing of a friend or family member whose death seemed imminent. Or the acceptance of a job application you didn't think you would receive? Or perhaps it was a...

God Has A Plan
Born with a painful intestine disease
My childhood was anything but a breeze.

Dealing With The Loss Of A Loved One
With so many young people being coerced into selling drugs, or, like Elianne Andam, being stabbed to death, I can't help but think back to the loss of my own daughter. It was some years ago, for exactly that reason, though she wasn't stabbed, but died as the result of...

The Eleventh Hour - It's Never Too Late!
Do you, or your nearest and dearest, know where they're going when end-time sets in? No, I don't mean whether they'll be buried or cremated, though that is a good subject to discuss, so you know their wishes before they die. What I'm thinking of is rather more momentous. Let...
