Do you want to get rid of unwelcome thoughts that won’t go away? You know—the ones you can’t get out of your mind no matter how hard you try. You pray and journal about the problem that’s at the root of those thoughts and even talk it over with a friend, but they keep coming back. Maybe it’s anger over something that’s unfair. Maybe your recurring thought is one of shame, fear, or regret. Maybe you can’t stop thinking about eating fattening “goodies” or doing something else that’s not good for you.
Still Waiting
By Keisha Bass
Thirty-four years old, never married, no children. Does God really have a plan? His Word says that man is not meant to be alone. Doesn’t that mean I was meant for some man? I cannot tell you how many times I have had this conversation with myself. No, I’m not crazy, just lonesome sometimes. But however lonely I am, or think I am, that is no reason to rush into something that will leave me with a broken heart. I have been saved from potential heartache many times over. Each time I think it’s a good idea to settle for a man I am not equally yoked with, I am reminded God does have a good plan for my life. Although the temptation to compromise my values to satisfy my flesh is there, I do not need to act on my feelings because that can lead to issues later.

When I think of Independence Day, I think of hot dogs, parades, fireworks, watermelon, and apple pie. Images and memories of days gone by bring a smile to my lips and joy to my heart. Memories of friends and family, bicycle parades, watermelon by the swimming pool, homemade ice-cream in the backyard, fireworks over the lake, lying on a blanket with my kids, awed by the magnificence of a firework display, are memories that I will hold for a lifetime.

Fire up the grills. Summer is here! Some of summer’s most memorable moments involve food. Whether you plan on feeding your entire extended family at a reunion, a gourmet dutch-oven meal in the woods, or a romantic dinner for two, don’t let food poisoning get in your way.
A Time to Live
By Bob Kaku
During the waning days of World War II, there lived a young girl in Kokura, a city on the island of Kyushu in southwestern Japan. B-29s rumbled overhead, dropping bombs in her neighborhood. In one particular raid, explosives ripped holes into the street right in front of her house. Little did she know that Kokura was singled out for an even more horrific weapon. It was the primary target for the world’s second atomic bomb because of a large ammunition arsenal located there.
