I want to make clear, I am no theologian, I do not even attend church anymore. I am no better, and no worse than anyone. .
The Bible commands us to feed the hungry, and help the oppressed. I know, without a doubt, Jesus, would never let a person die because he didn't "plan ahead" and have health insurance. Jesus would have compassion and understanding. He would consider factories close, people die, spouses run out, plans change, and feeding your kids, comes above heath insurance for yourself. He commands us to help each other
I think we should focus on that, and not worry about gays getting married or girls getting an abortion. That's between them and God. Work out your own salvation with fear, and trembling, right? The Bible commands us to worry about getting them some food. We will not be judged for what they do, we will be judged for what we did, or did not do. It says many many times, feed the hungry, take care of the sick. Help each other.
I guess my point is don't use the Bible

As told to Leigh Newman

Living on purpose, as I define it, is to become aware that we were all created to serve some specific function in life. Some of these purposes might be lofty, attracting the accolades of the world. Some of these purposes may be down-to-earth, such as raising a child, teaching or engaging in some other activity that may not be as acknowledged by society but is still significant.

The pursuit of your life is to come into that purpose. And the waste of your life is to miss that purpose. The problem, though, for most of us is discovering what our purpose is. Here are a few mistakes we make while looking for it, ones that can distract or misdirect us.

1. The "But I Love It" Mistake
For a few years, I was involved in music. I was a choir director, and I played the piano. I noticed that when our choir got ready to sing, people got more blessed out of me introducing the song and talking about the song

First, there were "gateway drugs." Now, the danger, apparently, is gateway sex.

On first read, a sensible person would assume that the phrase refers to an interesting place to have sex, for those who like a little variety. But no, the term refers to unspecified sexual activity that might lead to actual sexual intercourse. So squeamish are actual adults about even talking about this behavior, the Washington Post reports, that the measure has been dubbed the "holding hands" law.

Now, there's some value in getting kids not to try things that lead to no good. And it can be remarkably effective: When I was in seventh grade, we were inundated with such a relentless antismoking message-not just in health class, but in many other classes-that virtually no one I knew in my grade smoked. Not only that, but we harassed our parents (most of whom had started smoking before we all understood how very bad for you it is) to stop as well. Where the school fell down was

Save hundreds of dollars over the course of a year with these common household products that do the same job as your pricey favorites for much less.

1. Swap: Shaving cream for hair conditioner
Save: About $4
Why? Shaving cream creates a layer between the razor and your skin while protecting from nicks and cuts. But conditioners work just as well, and they moisturize while you shave.

2. Swap: Dry shampoo for baby powder
Save: About $8
Why? If you don't have enough time to wash your locks, rub baby powder into your roots. Massage it in well, then brush it out. This trick also gives flat, greasy hair more oomph.

3. Swap: Body scrub for epsom salts
Save: About $10
Why? A bath with Epsom salts can help ease stress and tension, but did you know that these salts also can give you smooth, radiant skin? Simply mix a handful into your body wash (or a spoonful into your face wash). It sloughs off dead skin and revives your complexion instantly.

4. Swap: Styling cream for

8 Core Beliefs of Extraordinary BossesA few years back, I interviewed some of the most successful CEOs in the world in order to discover their management secrets. I learned that the "best of the best" tend to share the following eight core beliefs.

1. Business is an ecosystem, not a battlefield.

Average bosses see business as a conflict between companies, departments and groups. They build huge armies of "troops" to order about, demonize competitors as "enemies," and treat customers as "territory" to be conquered.

Extraordinary bosses see business as a symbiosis where the most diverse firm is most likely to survive and thrive. They naturally create teams that adapt easily to new markets and can quickly form partnerships with other companies, customers ... and even competitors.

2. A company is a community, not a machine.

Average bosses consider their company to be a machine with employees as cogs. They create rigid structures with rigid rules and then try to maintain control by "pulling levers"

Getting To Know You

Let's face it, many Americans cannot even name the 9 Supreme Court Justices, much less really make a connection between their lofty positions and our day to day lives. The Supreme Court decisions that get the most publicity tend to be the ones surrounding ethical issues (Roe V Wade, for example) but today's ruling is a great reminder of the role the highest court in the land plays in your financial future. Not only does today's ruling affect the cost and
