What Is Your Identity?
As I sat in church listening to the pastor explain how meaningful names were in the Old Testament, the impact of my past hit me. The pastor used the example of Abram becoming Abraham, Father of Many Nations, yet he held that title for over 25 years before he fathered his son, Isaac. Imagine what people thought for 25 years as he called himself that. They probably laughed. I'm guessing the older he got, the louder the laughter became. After all, he was nearly 100 when he fathered Isaac. Abraham and Sarah were probably the only parents buying Depends and Pampers at the same time!

Happiness | Kathryn Crawford Wheat
I have come to the realization that our problems in life can be the very thing that ultimately bring us happiness. When we face tragedy, dig through our pain, and eventually come out of it on the other side, we are renewed. In a way, it’s the pain that helps us feel joy. I believe that sometimes God has a radical way of showing us what is important. There are millions of people in the world that have what we think we want, who are in rehab, prisons, and divorce courts. We really should be careful of what we wish for. “Good fortune” can have bad side effects.

Parenting : Today's Fathers
Are fathers playing a greater role in parenting today? Today’s fathers appear to be playing a more active role in parenting than their predecessors. Traditionally, in my culture, raising the child has been viewed as the responsibility of the mother. The father’s role was more in the domain of provider, supporter and disciplinarian. Hence, the father would provide the needs of the family, support the mother in decisions with respect to the welfare of the children and administer punishment when necessary.

The History of the Heart: The Answer to Human Suffering Part 2
Around the time that the Sage, Mencius, lived, a great stirring was occurring in the hearts of humankind. German philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) referred to this time as the Axial Age, where axial means pivotal. Masters of wisdom appeared in India and Greece, as well as his home land, China. It was the time of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Lao-Tzu, Buddha, the Indian writers of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita and Isaiah of the Old Testament, among others.

That fire which is the means of attaining the infinite worlds, and is also their foundation, is hidden in the sacred place of the heart.”

The Heart of Love
Where does love come from? Contemporary science tells us that love is built into us. As the great researcher, Allan Schore, proves, we enter the world pre-wired to love the first person who takes care of us. Once an infant is born it works like this. When an infant sees his mother gazing at him with love in her eyes, happy neuro-chemicals flood the infant's brain. The child feels happy. He or she likes this feeling and wants more of it. This sets up an attachment to the source of this good feeling. Since the good feeling comes from mom, the kid starts to love mom.

Why Grown Ups Need to Read Fairy Tales (Part One)
When people say, “That’s just a fairy tale!” they mean that what the person believes is a naive illusion, a lie told to the self. But this is the opposite of the truth. Fairy tales succeed because they wear the clothing of simplicity and innocence, when they are in actuality deadly serious. Fairy tales are ironic. In many tales there is a character with a name like “Dummling” who turns out to be the hero. The stories themselves wear the guise of such foolishness. They do this because telling the truth can be dangerous.

The first time I saw the advert, I was struck by how elegantly it compares with the way so many of us live our lives. (A compariso I’m quite sure the fast foods chain is totally oblivious of.)

“Hey, dude, I’m a teenager. Whaddya expect from me? Kids my age tend to be a little raunchy at times. We like to hang with our buds and make fun of people. And video games . . . man, I live for video games! Pops says they make me angry — some of the games are a little violent, you know? But pops doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He says that I should fill my head with positive stuff and that I should start treating people with respect. He says what goes around comes around. He says stuff like you are who you associate with, and you get from the world what you put into the world.

Improving Personal Relationships
The richness of life comes from our interactions with other living things. But many of us don’t interact with living things as much as we used to. For example, as I write this article it is appearing on my monitor, but on my companion monitor there is a screensaver. The screensaver image is of a beautiful green rolling meadow lying under a blue sky dotted with white fluffy clouds. The grass in the meadow seems to be leaning a bit, so I believe that there is a gentle breeze pushing at the grass. I see a few yellow dots in the foreground of the screen.

Lessons from my Adopted Son
Parenting is one of the few times in life when we see our true self. When I was talking with our pediatrician about my conce s of my son being overly aggressive and stubborn, she smiled and asked me if I had earned a PhD, two Masters, and started a business before I turned 40 by being non-confrontational. I had to laugh, but every day I know the most honest mirror of my own personality is not the number of followers I have in my blog or what I accomplish, it is how my son treats others.

It is how we see (with William Blake) …‘the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of our hand and ete ity in an hour’. It is the ultimate self-love. 'Self-love' is often mis-read as arrogance or narcissism. The phrase ‘being very full of yourself’ is not a compliment.
