Instagram users have taken to issuing “weekiversary posts,” where they diligently mark the duration of their romances. An article in The New York Times explained how weekiversary posts have the unintended – or very much intended – consequence of shaming people who are not in love. The article also noted that this phenomenon makes some doubt the intensity of their own relationship. They wonder why their partners are not similarly starry-eyed and gushing online. Some even admitted that this phenomenon prompted them to stay in relationships longer than they should have: they go on celebrating their weekiversaries, just to keep…

My Dear Daughter, A good friend of our family and an elder statesman said this often, “Let’s live our simple lives.” My dear this is a good phrase to bear in mind as you live your life; keep it simple and avoid complications. You are aware that your father is a student of the Mammy Wagon Philosophers. One of the philosophies they espouse on the back of a lorry says, “No Hurry In Life.” My dear, please, also bear this in mind and take your time to chase your dreams and aspirations with no great hurry to achieve them as…
Dear Dorothy, I was 21 when I married a man of 36. I had just graduated from University when we met and after a year of courtship, he proposed to me and I accepted. When I married him, he was very caring and loving towards me. In fact, he was protective and possessive. I put his possessiveness down to his love for me but over time, I have become quite uncomfortable with his possessiveness. It got to the point that he now wants to know everything I have been up to when I am not with him. I am a…
Holy Humour Grant me, forbearance Lord Pastor John and his council president, Mr Segun ended up in a heated argument over a seemingly minor worship detail. “I suggest we go home and pray to God to grant us peaceful hearts,” said Pastor John as Segun stormed past him into the churchyard. After worship the next Sunday morning, Segun greeted Pastor John warmly. “I took your advice,” he said. “I went home and said a prayer.” “Great!” said Pastor John. “So did I! I prayed that God would grant us both peaceful hearts and a fresh start.” “That’s not what I…
Longing and cravings of the heart Oh! The sweet feel within Veiling thought and reason Enticing my very being with affection – so pristine Lust and infatuation some say it is Young – naïve, but soon to learn they say; Fools are those Entangled in its intricate web of Emotion and passion, they advised – but Love is what I call it; and I’m loving the feel; even Now, so sensuous; so Good Poem by Stephen Wholesomexosotin chelseathông tin chuyển nhượngcâu lạc bộ bóng đá arsenalbóng đá atalantabundesligacầu thủ haalandUEFAevertonxosokeonhacaiketquabongdalichthidau7m.newskqbdtysokeobongdabongdalufutebol ao vivofutemaxmulticanaisonbethttps://bsport.fithttps://onbet88.ooohttps://i9bet.bizhttps://hi88.ooohttps://okvip.athttps://f8bet.athttps://fb88.cashhttps://vn88.cashhttps://shbet.atbóng đá world cupbóng đá inter milantin juventusbenzemala…
Reading 1 Gn 23:1-4, 19; 24:1-8, 62-67 The span of Sarah’s life was one hundred and twenty-seven years. She died in Kiriatharba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham performed the customary mourning rites for her. Then he left the side of his dead one and addressed the Hittites: “Although I am a resident alien among you, sell me from your holdings a piece of property for a burial ground, that I may bury my dead wife.” After the transaction, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah, facing Mamre (that is,…
Jean Twenge, San Diego State University As someone who researches generational differences, I find one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “What generation am I in?” If you were born before 1980, that’s a relatively easy question to answer: the Silent Generation was born between 1925 and 1945; baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X followed (born between 1965 and 1979). Next come millennials, born after 1980. But where do millennials end, and when does the next generation begin? Until recently, I (and many others) thought the last millennial birth year would be 1999 –…
Steve Allsop, Curtin University; Eveline Lensvelt, Curtin University, and Tanya Chikritzhs, Curtin University In Australia, almost 6,000 deaths a year can be attributed to alcohol, as well as around 400 hospitalisations a day. While drinking has declined in some segments of the population, with related stabilising of rates of death and illness, these numbers are far too high. Similar reports are emerging in other countries. Many people remain unaware, blissfully or otherwise, of long-term risks, which aren’t just restricted to “heavy drinkers”. Alcohol is one of the largest risk factors for avoidable death and illness. The growing list of alcohol-related…
