Image
Have you ever imagined being remembered 2000 years later even after you are long gone? There are people that walked this earth a long time ago and their names are still as fresh as it was in the hearts and minds of men. They are remembered for their inventions, ideas, discoveries and brilliant works. Talk of men like our Lord Jesus Christ, Shakespeare, Socrates, Charles and bd and Mary Lamb, Handel, Albert Einstein, Picasso, etc. They were all humans like you and i, who believed there was something  they could bless humanity with.

How one couple saved their marriage by asking each other a simple question

Image
For years, novelist Richard Paul Evans and his wife Keri  struggled with their marriage . Then, one day, they learned to ask each other a simple question: “How can I make your day better?” The question, which Evans wrote about in a viral  blog post , saved their marriage. The Salt Lake City, Utah couple  said their vows  when they were 21 years old. They had unreal expectations about love, says Evans. He says their relationship soon unraveled over petty power struggles. Years later, it had gotten to the point where they barely acknowledged each other, he says. “I loved her, I knew I loved her, she loved me,” Evans tells NBC Better. “We just didn’t know how to make it work.” Then, one day while  taking a shower , Evans broke down and cried.

The next morning he asked his wife a simple question: “How can I make your day better?” “It was a matter of humility,” says the 55-year...

Israel refused to comment on the reports but has indicated in the past that it has taken military action against Hezbollah and other targets inside Syria - and will continue to do so. ....This people shoul...
