It bothers me that the average fan, the average sportswriter for that matter, pays so much attention to what's in a box score.

To avoid the hard necessity of either obeying or rejecting the plain instructions of our Lord in the New Testament we take refuge in a liberal interpretation of them. We evangelicals also know how to avoid the sharp point of obedience by means of fine and intricate explanations. These are tailor-made for the flesh. They excuse disobedience, comfort carnality and make the words of Christ of none effect. And the essence of it all is that Christ simply could not have meant what He said. His teachings are accepted even theoretically only after they have been weakened by interpretation.

Chris Christie

A retired teacher paid $62,000 towards her pension and nothing, yes nothing, for full family medical, dental and vision coverage over her entire career. What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215,000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime.

Rather it is a tradition of human warrior-ship that has existed in many cultures at many times throughout history.

Chogyam Trungpa

Chogyam Trungpa

The basics teachings of Buddha are about understanding what we are, who we are, why we are.

We begin to realize that our ideas of security and our concept of freedom have been purely phantom experiences.
