Can they be so unaware of the pain they cause that they do not recognise themselves as a bully? Perhaps the following will create a lightbulb moment for one workp... Thu, 19 Jun 2013 11:21 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=788 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "Be still, and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10, NKJV) So many people today find themselves caught up in the day-to-day busyness of life, driven to do more in less time. It seems people constantly strive to find ways to cram more into their already overcrowded schedules. ... Thu, 19 Jun 2013 09:12 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=787 "Dadda gaan dalk nou na Jesus toe+hellip;" So het Joost van der Westhuizen onlangs in"n hartroerende onderhoud die uitwerking van sy siekte aan sy twee kinders verduidelik. Joost ly aan motor neuron siekte (MNS) en hy is reeds in die tweede fase van die siekte. Hy sukkel om te praat, maak v... Wed, 18 Jun 2013 11:06 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=786 There's still one religious fraternity in the US still actively engaged in polygamy. Despite being against the law and societal norms, they've never been put away. Perhaps one reason they've been left in peace is that, save for the bed hopping (a harmless exercise to outsiders), they're an honest... Wed, 18 Jun 2013 08:26 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=785 Taal is"n wonderlike ding. Op die oog af lyk dit of hy, of seker eerder sy (want dis mos"n moedertaal) altyd dieselfde bly, maar dan sluip veranderinge in en gaandeweg kan mens glad nie meer"n woord gebruik soos vroeer nie. So is dit met die woord "poef". Dit was altyd my gunsteling woord as ek v... Thu, 12 Jun 2013 12:17 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=784 Whenever the wife invites me to watch an episode of her favourite soapy it's one of three reasons: she either wants me to cry, laugh out load, or raise my hackles. The recent one did the latter. A hospital scene in which a pretty little girl is wheeled in suffering a serious affliction that could...

That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there's going to be a life after tennis that's a lot longer than your tennis life. - Chris Evert...

Canon's method uses the same 'electrowetting' principle as exist...

After coming across an article that says our mop carries thousands of bugs, some good, others bad, I've had the itches. Scratch. The article goes on to describe the various diseases of the scalp. The common one is folliculitus. Sounds like some d...

Fri, 6 Jun 2013 11:07 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=778 Dreams are of past and present people, places, events and imagination stuck on the brain. Sounds about right, because you often dream of people and places you're familiar with. But there are times when you don't know the characters in your dream from a bar of soap, and places you've never visited. T... Thu, 29 May 2013 08:25 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=777 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "..it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32, ASV) As a father, there's no one I'd rather bless than my own children. There's no one I'd rather see increase and rise higher in life. It's the same way with our heavenly Father. It gives Him pleasur... Thu, 29 May 2013 08:02 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=776 Koerantredakteurs moet gereeld besluit of hulle sekere inligting as deel van 'n berig gaan weergee of weglaat. Soms is dit maklik, soms is dit moeilik en soms is dit omtrent onmoontlik om te besluit. Lesers is dikwels puntenerig oor wat hulle lees en 'n mens het soms 'n goeie skoot van oom Siener va... Wed, 28 May 2013 13:45 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=775 (Met dank aan Joan Didion) Mense met my tipe samestelling wroeg nogal maklik oor ontboesemings. Jy weet, daardie goed wat jou soms wil laat"oeps!' uitroep nadat jy iets onverhoeds verklap het. Sodra daardie woorde oor jou tong marsjeer en die Rubicon van jou lippe oorsteek, voel jy behoorlik asof... Wed, 28 May 2013 11:57 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=774 Life is life's greatest gift. Guard the life of another creature as you would your own because it is your own. On life's scale of values, the smallest is no less precious to the creature who owns it than the largest. - Lloyd Biggle Jr. This quote sums up, in a nutshell, my sentiments. This wee... Tue, 27 May 2013 08:35 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=773 "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart." (Psalm 37:4, AMP) In the Psalms, it talks about the secret petitions of our heart. These are the hidden dreams that you haven't told anybody about. One way you know they're from God is that ...

Whoever came up with the idea for the subscription model, and everyone at Adobe who supports it, are going to run the... Thu, 22 May 2013 18:10 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=771 Other than my favourite UK comics like Dandy and Beano, I enjoyed the Readers' Digest. During puberty in the last millennium. In the latter I came across and article with the scary intro: "You are born to die". I didn't dwell on the subject as death was still a long way off. So it was back to ... Wed, 21 May 2013 08:02 GMT http://www.georgeherald.com/viewblog.aspx?bid=770 Ek begin dink ons as mense kan nie funksioneer buite"n polisiestaat nie. Ons het die vermoe om onsself te reguleer (en nee ek praat nie van spysvertering nie) skynbaar totaal verloor. Verlede week vra ek"n man hoekom hy op"n parkeerplek vir gestremdes parkeer. Sy antwoord, terwyl hy met"n armsw... Sat, 17 May 2013 10:41 GMT
