To all the moms and dads out there, you may be pleased to hear that they had done a research recently and found that marriage makes a person happier than having tonnes of money with no partners. So, if ever you are tired of each other, taking care of small babies, bearing the brunt of juggling career, babies and the demands of a spouse, remember to smile! It is still a better and more workable option than being rich.
Well, I can’t vouch if the study is truly unbiased. All the while I thought money rules. But then, one can be poor and very satisfied with a loving family but one can be a lonely soul with too much money to burn and no one to spend on, isn’t it?However, as I read further down the report, it says that rich couples are happier than poor couples. Well of course, we need money all the time but don’t have too much of it or else the wandering testosterone may find ways and means to splurge it on some other sweet young things, eh?

At the height of the David Koresh disaster in 1993, when some of the media were connecting the Waco cult with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and some Adventists were writing disclaimers, a letter to the editor appeared in the New York Times from a professor in a Pennsylvania college. In essence he said, I don't know the historical or theological connections between Adventists and Koresh. But I know Adventists. I met them in Vietnam. They were medics, most of them rural youths with simple faith and basic beliefs. I watched them under pressure during battle. Refusing even to carry sidearms, they were the bravest men I knew. They were consistent in practicing Christian values. I would trust any one of them with my life. And I want the world to see Seventh-day Adventists like I do: as genuine Christians who care for people and are worthy of society's deepest respect and trust.
