"The fool has said in his heart that there is no God." - Psalm 14:1
One day, someone caught the comedian W.C. Fields reading the Bible and asked what he was doing. His reply was "just looking for loopholes."* There are a lot of people who read with the same intention of disregarding any evidence.
There are only three options to explain our existence, one is to believe in God, another is agnosticism which states there may be a God but I haven't found proof. The last is atheism where one will state they know God does not exist. Atheism is not just a non-belief in God but a willful denial of his existence. Agnosticism is where one admits that they do not know if God exists.

Definition of an Emotional Affair in Midlife
Emotional affairs, also called emotional infidelity or cheating, occur when one spouse has a deep attachment to someone else. Physical intimacy does not need to be present in order for an emotional affair to happen, but often this type of cheating does lead to a physical affair.

You can recover from emotional cheating, but you need to take steps to change your behavior.
Has your marriage been affected by an emotional affair? Emotional affairs have become a more common issue in midlife marriage, especially as couples redefine what infidelity is in their relationship.

Celebrating Spiritual Birthdays
BY SUSAN
One of the biggest days for parents of young children is their child’s birthday! All over the country, moms go to great lengths to celebrate in a fitting way. One mom rents a clown, another a horse and buggy, yet another a restaurant complete with games and food. Cupcakes or cakes are often spectacular and gift bags beautifully arranged. Even moms (often older, more exhausted, and wiser ones!) who do not go to great lengths still celebrate their child. It’s a rare parent who forgets or ignores this special day. And usually this day is shared with lots of friends and certainly remembered by relatives. It’s an important day. It’s a genuine celebration of one of God’s most precious gifts — our child.
But there’s an even more significant birthday celebration. It’s the day our child asks Jesus to come into his or her heart. Too often, this day is noticed and a parent rejoices, but rarely is this good news shared with others. Oh, how it needs to be!

What is Swatting? Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber and Clint Eastwood have been swatted. But what does that mean?
BY: IRENE ZUTELL
Every era has its nutty trends. From bathtub gin to raccoon coats to permanent waves to streaking and now, swatting. In case you've missed it, swatting is when some prankster calls in a fake emergency — hostage situation, explosion, something of that nature - giving the actual address of a celebrity. The payoff is watching dozens (hundreds?) of cops, firemen and SWAT (hence the term, 'swatting') teams respond to a hoax. It's really stupid and really dangerous, as it diverts personnel from genuine life-threatening situations. It is a misdemeanor or a felony in most states to report any untruth to law enforcement.
So far, celeb victims of swatting have included Justin Bieber, Tom Cruise and most recently, Clint Eastwood.

Dr. Thomas Harris, a Reported Suicide, Spikes Rumormongers: 'i'm Ok—you're in Trouble'
By Nancy Faber
Years ago there was a book on the market called I'm OK—You're OK. People said, "That's a wonderful new book—new psychology, new things to follow." Most people today don't know that the author of that book committed suicide about two years ago.
A Maryland radio preacher named Larry Tomczak allegedly imparted this information to a crowd of 8,000 at the Jesus West Coast rally in Chico, Calif. a year ago. No one was more upset at the news than Dr. Thomas Harris, the Sacramento psychiatrist who wrote the 1969 best-selling self-help book, and who was and is very much alive. Even before the rally his family had been hounded by the rumors. His daughters were questioned about him at school. His wife, Amy, a journalist and collaborator on the book, received a note of concern from a woman in Japan. A graduate seminar at a California university pondered the meaning of his death, and at least one after-dinner speaker made a joke of Harris' not-OK end. "Once, the girls heard a rumor that he had killed somebody as well," shudders Amy. "It was all so gross."
