Never Lose Heart: Endurance
What would you like to achieve by the age of 100? Fauja Singh, at the age of 100, finished Toronto’s waterfront marathon in 2011, securing his place in the Guinness World Records as the oldest person – and the first centenarian – to ever accomplish a run of that distance.

Never Lose Heart: Mother’s Day
You are here because of your mom. Perhaps you have heard the saying, “There’s no love like a mother’s love.” Who do the kids go to when they need love, food, and affection?

Easter Sunday
What is your earliest memory of Easter? Was it waiting to see if you received more chocolate bunnies than you did the year before? Was it a competition to gather the most chocolate eggs that were hidden around the house? Was it getting all dressed up in new clothes to go to church? Or maybe you did not celebrate Easter at all?

Sabbath Rest
Are any of you busy, stressed, or tired? Life has many demands on our lives. Often times we need more than 24 hours in a day to get work done, study for an exam, or finish a house project. It is hard to slow down when the pace of life is racing at lightning speed. What if we were to stop and rest? Sounds foreign doesn’t it? Not just for a moment, but for a whole…
