The Chicken Little Problem
By Ed Crumley
One day Chicken Little was walking through the forest when an acorn fell on her head. “Oh my, oh my!” she exclaimed. “The sky is falling! I must run and tell the king!” You know the rest of the story. On the way to see the king, Chicken and her equally scared bird friends, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Loosey ran into Foxy Loxy who slyly told them that only he knew the way to the king but would gladly show them. Of course, he only wanted to trick them into his den so they could become items on his menu.
Prayer Reflections
By Roberta Ley
"Please, God, give me this one thing and I'll never ask you for anything else again.” Does that sound familiar? Have you ever prayed that prayer? Did it get answered? I would hazard to guess that it did not. One reason why, I think, may surprise you. First of all, why are you in a situation that such a prayer is necessary? Have you reduced God to being your last resort? So many people, Christians included, have put God in the same classification as that little glass box you see on the wall in office buildings; you know the one that has the fire hose and says "In case of emergency, break glass.” He is only there to help us once we have gotten ourselves in so deep that it will take divine intervention to get out.

If you have ever struggled with weight or with a health issue like high cholesterol or diabetes, you have most likely been on a diet. My experience is that, overall, diets don’t work, especially the long-term diet. During your diet you feel confined and restricted. You feel as if there is no hope for appetite satisfaction, ever again. Failure after failure gives you the feeling that losing weight is impossible. Take heart, my friends, there is a solution.
Tempting Offer
By Bob Kaku
During Silicon Valley’s “red hot” job market, I inter¬viewed with a few companies and landed a couple of job offers. The first offer came from a high-flying software company, a quintessential Silicon Valley success story, which offered me a good salary and attractive benefits with stock options. The hiring manager eased back in his chair and flashed a roguish grin. “You’ll become very rich in a few years.” The company’s stock soared to record highs, turning regular employees into multimillionaires overnight. Fortune Magazine ranked this company as one of the best to work for. The financial incen¬tives enchanted me.
