From Where I Stand, I am sharing the inspirational story of Chris, son of missionary parent. When exposed to the prophetic anointing, he stepped into his calling. Through prophetic teaching, Chris cooperated and moved with the Holy Spirit delivering a prophetic word in the corporate gathering for the first time. In essence, through the corporate message, every individual receives a prophetic word and so does the...

A Beautiful Day

By Babrak EHSAS on February 12, 2015 / 3,907 views

February 12, 2015 A glorious mountain is trying to show me its face through the dusty fog, the sun is also trying to help mountain in its efforts to come out from the fog. I kept open my office window to breathe dusty air of Kabul, capital of Afghanistan and witnessed the struggle of the sun trying to shattered the fog and appear its golden face and make a smile to the city, a pleasing struggle. Every day in...

The Distillation Of Life

By George Burgin on February 12, 2015 / 4,291 views

There was a television broadcasting CNN in the corner. Interestingly, none of the thirty or so people gathered in clusters across the room even noticed Anderson Cooper talking about Manti Te’o and the alleged hoax involving something about a fake girlfriend who recently died. None of that stuff mattered. In fact, in that room and at that moment only one thing mattered. I learned a great life lesson while...

Available

By Kay on February 11, 2015 / 4,327 views

When I made the choice to become a Christian, I told the Lord I wanted to be "available" whenever and wherever He needed me. Being "available" has taken me to some unusual places. One such place was an old, white-framed, two-story, nursing home. Every Thursday evening at 7:00 I would find myself "available" to visit at this nursing home. I always brought a basket full of wrapped regular and sugar free candy each...

We Got This!

By David Musser on February 10, 2015 / 4,922 views

It seems like there are days when life gives us moments that make us question our self-worth. It's in these moments that we have to take a step back, take a deep breath and realize that a few bad moments doesn't mean we have a bad life. A few bad moments doesn't mean we are a bad people. A few bad moments does not determine our future. I hope you can see in yourself the absolutely amazing person that you are. And...

The Conditions From Which My Life Emerged

By Ryan on February 10, 2015 / 4,099 views

In May of 2000 I graduated medical school and drove 3000 miles across the country to start my residency training in Family Medicine. In July of 2003 I started my 1st job as a newly board certified family doctor. My clinic was owned by a local hospital, the largest employer in the county if I remember correctly. By July of 2009, I knew that my career was coming to an end. After spending 4 years critically...

Pure Peace

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 09, 2015 / 4,832 views

I was driving home the other day after taking my son to the sheltered workshop where he works part time. The clouds had parted and the newly freed sun was slowly warming the Earth. The radio was playing and Louis Armstrong was singing, "What a Wonderful World." I was joining in with my scratchy voice. I rounded a curve and saw the distant mountains alight with golden sunshine. It was so beautiful. In that second the...

What I Learned From Five Months Of Travel

By Cliff Hsia on February 09, 2015 / 2,270 views

Five months of extended, slow travel taught me valuable life lessons that I never could have learned from a one week vacation or a weekend getaway. Once I got past the initial lure of traveling to new places (including Guatemala, Taiwan, Australia, and Ethiopia), seeing new things, and doing different activities, the time spent traveling really became a deeper, personal experience; travel became introspective and a...

The American Flag: 13 Folds Of Honor

By Coach Muller on February 09, 2015 / 7,361 views

The history, rituals, and the customs of the United States Military has always fascinated and intrigues me. I hold in highest esteem and respect, all people who has sacrificed their time and/or their lives for their country. A military tradition that has always been deeply moving to me, is watching the person of a fallen spouse or child, receive the folded American flag during a funeral ceremony. I often...

How To Make Now A Good Place To Be

By Sandra Hughes on February 08, 2015 / 2,379 views

All we have is this one single moment. The moment before has gone. The next moment is yet to be. We have no idea if we will even be here for one more moment. There is only now. If we can make now, this moment, a good place to be then we pretty much have things sorted. Our life is lived in moments. It's no mistake that 'now' is known as 'the present'. It's only by being present, by being mindful of this...

One Dollar And Eleven Cents

By Coach Muller on February 06, 2015 / 9,531 views

Every once in a while, I come across a story that renews my faith in miracles. The following true story is an example of how miracles just “don’t happen” but come from a higher being. ------------- Tess was a precocious eight year old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an...

Two Sisters Have A Bake-Sale To Save Local Barn Cats

By Lily Morgan And Laney Brind on February 05, 2015 / 4,244 views

In the summer we were told by our friends, that the barn next to their house was full of cats and the barn was closing down. We felt very bad for those poor cats. A couple week later we went for a family walk, my sister and me rode our bikes while our mom pushed our baby sister in the stroller, my sister heard a noise in the bush next to her. We all stop to listen and sure enough there was a faint cry in the bush....

The Sisters

By Kay on February 05, 2015 / 4,185 views

Over the years I have met some very interesting people. Two of the most interesting were two elderly sisters, Joan and Bernice, who lived in Dover. I'm not really sure how I became acquainted with them to be honest, but their way of talking about people inspired me. It was always a pleasure to visit these two sisters. Just being greeted at the door was a joy. I remember well how happy they were when I came to...

Connected

By Chris on February 03, 2015 / 5,877 views

"Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t...

The Snowsuit

"Can you tell me if anyone in our store does community service?" Bill asked. A person spoke up and said," I know that Rose does. She helps the homeless at her church." Bill, my husband, had recently been transferred to this store as the Store Manager. Bill liked to recognize employees who worked in community service. He met with Rose and found out about the outreach program operating out of her inner-city church....
