Saying the right encouraging word at the needed time can be the difference between someone doing something that makes the world a better place or giving up.

Christianity and Masturbation
In the movie Patch Adams, one of my favourite movies, there is a scene at the beginning of the movie where Patch is creating a stir with his fellow psych-ward patients.

Christmas Story: The Stressed Woman at Christmas Pt2
No one in Jen’s family ever really seemed to be that close to her dad, so when he passed away at the end of November it surprised her how much of a hole it caused. She’d be the first to say that he was a good man, but he was distant. Growing up, her mom had always been her cheerleader, and now … [Read more...]
