Finish never is by Samuel Frauenstein

Finish never is by Samuel Frauenstein “Finish never is…” – Hansie Cronje These words echoed in my mind as I was lying in hospital a week after surgery on my legs. Between the pain of tearing all the muscles in both quads, ripping off all the ligaments and tendons on both knees and breaking both kneecaps and the fear of never being able to train, let alone compete again, I had very little keeping me going. The stench of failure and disappointment mixed with the piercing smell of disinfectant. The only visible movement was my finger on the “call” button

Make A Different New Year’s Resolution Author: Dr. Noelle Nelson You know your usual litany of New Year’s resolutions: “This year I’m gonna lose 5 – 10 -50 pounds. This year I swear I’ll get to the gym at least twice a week. This year I absolutely positively will not spend past my credit limit. This year I swear I’ll never have another ginger Martini (given the consequences of your last bout with said delectable beverage). It’s your standard January 1 list most years – and it’s a great list! But how about if instead of – or in addition

Keeping the family intact through family fitness Author: Daven With the rise of different food variations and preparations today, the status of family fitness is at risk of being driven away because of these mouth watering yet unhealthy choices of foods. Amplifying the situation, family activities today are less active and children now prefer to play computer games rather than engaging in different outdoor activities. If we compare the health status of families today versus the families’ decades ago, we can find that family’s today do not have so much time with each other. Parents are more likely to spend

How Overcoming Fear Can Make The World a Better Place Author: Steve M Nash Fear is everywhere! It’s in our own lives; it’s in the lives of others; and it’s in our children’s lives and our parents’ lives. And, to a large extent, how successful we are in overcoming fears – fear of commitment, rejection, intimacy, fear of failure and even fear of success – is how successful (and happy) we are in life. So learning how to overcome fear is very important. To us all. So how to do so? Well, overcoming fear is actually very simple. It only

Why You Should Eat Organic Food; A Look at the Fruits & Vegetables with the Most Pesticides Author: Mark Gold If you have been considering purchasing organic foods but have reservations about the benefits vs. the cost, here are several compelling reasons you should eat organic food.

Christmas by Mindy Karuk

Growing up we always used to have Christmas at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house. All the family would make the trip in from the city and beyond, and slowly everyone would arrive in due time. This was the time of year that it was guaranteed we would all be reunited with one another, and catch up on the year gone by. I would wait in anticipation for all of my Aunts and Uncles to arrive, and I’d greet them with huge hugs at the door and welcome them inside. Once all the family got settled in, all of us cousins

My Christmas Eve Story by Tracie Rene

“Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” (Hebrews 13:2 NLT) I attended the candle light Christmas eve service at my church. I was caught up in my own little world and in a hurry to get home to go visit family. On my drive home I was driving down this dark 2 lane highway. The hillsides were about 5 feet off to the side of the road. I had my high beams on and off to the side of the road I saw what appeared to be a

The Healing Began on Kalalau Beach

The Healing Began on Kalalau Beach Christmas time for me is a time to celebrate Gods amazing gift to us of the birth of His son Jesus Christ, who died for each and every one of our sins to wash us clean! I know this personally deep down in my soul as I was caught up in the greedy end of the marketing of Christmas- buy, buy, buy, buy people through gifts; which is a distraction to the true meaning and true gift of what this amazing day is all about. God sent a man to clean us of all

Christmas Time by Reverend Dino

Its Christmas time and holiday season, and a lot of time we can get lost in the holiday hustle and bustle of life, presents, travel, family so on and so on… and it is easy to take our eyes, hearts and minds off the reason for the season, the birth of a little baby who was sent from heaven above to redeem us from this crazy world. Who knew that this little baby, born in a manger born to a carpenter, Joseph and his wife Mary on a cold winter night would be the reason for a celebration of life,

“The boy who would be king” by Samuel Frauenstein

The boy who would be king Whenever I think of Christmas I’m reminded of a story. I share it every year with someone special, usually one person, this year you are that one person. A couple of years ago there was this kid, Jimmy. His one dream was to play rugby for South Africa’s most elite rugby school. He had all the drive in the world, all the passion, problem was, thats all he had. He had no skill and zero feel for the game. He was a joke. he had never played single game. He would show up for
