Live Your Life! 5/6/2005
When I was 17, I read a biography on the late actor Marlon
Brando. While struggling to make a name in the theatre early
in his career, his friends recalled a quote he kept on his
wall: "You ain't living if you don't know
it!"

Going through the posts of some of the other members who
feel ill-at-ease because their single status, that quote

Is it a Sin to Celebrate Easter? 3/25/2005
A few churches teach that Easter is a pagan holiday. They
frown on the idea of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus
on Easter Sunday morning. Christians are not celebrating
Jesus, they say, but an ancient pagan deity when they participate
in such activities as Easter sunrise services.
But this is based on several misunderstandings. The New
Testament gives no grounds for limiting ...
