One day she realizes she can levitate and...the story continues...

The God Memorandum from The Greatest Miracle in the World by OG Mandino

THE GOD MEMORANDUM

To: You

From: God

Take counsel.

I hear your cry.

It passes through the darkness, filters through the clouds, mingles with starlight, and finds its way to my heart on the path of a sunbeam.

I have anguished over the cry of a hare choked in the noose of a snare, a sparrow tumbled from the nest of its mother, a child trashing helplessly in a pond, and a son shedding his blood on a cross.

Interesting “Dialogue”?

THEM: Let me ask you a question, ANDRE, what good would believing in no god do for me answer me that, then we can talk..?

ME: To answer your question, I can't tell you what is good for you. So, if you want to have a true meaningful conversation about beliefs, I have to ask you to clarify what does it mean to believe. To follow up, truth must be proved. Theories and beliefs are not truth, no matter how much faith or fear one has. Truth can only be verified mathematically, if it doesn't…

Discipline violence and the African American Child

Introduction

Discipline today is a paramount social problem among people of Afrikan descent. Large numbers of school officials, parents, caretakers, the courts and other related parties are grasping for answers to a series of social concerns being posed and experienced by Afrikan American children and youth. The floodgates have been opened. Increasing acts of violence are being committed by the young who are now shocking the nation. Punishment misconstrued as discipline contributes…

Some Real History

Addiction in America: The Root of the Problem

Long before opium and heroin addiction became a law enforcement problem, it was a major cause for social concern in the United States. By the late 1800s Americans were taking opium-based drugs with the same alarming frequency as they now consume tranquilizers, pain killers, and diet pills. Even popular…

THE KNOWLEDGE OF SELF

THE GREATEST POWER IN MAN



It is the conclusion of modern psychology that the powers and the possibilities inherent

in man are practically unbounded. And this conclusion is based upon two great facts. First, that no

limit has been found to anything in human nature; and second, that everything in human nature

contains a latent capacity for perpetual development. The discovery of these two facts -- and no

discovery of greater importance has appeared in any age -- gives…
