If love slips away
RELATIONSHIPS
When I was at Bible College we had a guestspeaker from the USA. Once he was asked, “Have you ever thought about divorcing your wife?” “No,” was his answer,” but sometimes I thought about shooting her.”– Relationship difficulties? Yes!

MILK
Saw this written on a milk truck today: Meadow fresh– FUEL FOR LIFE–Fresh Milk.
I was interested especially in Fuel for Life. Milk is fuel for life. What else is fuel for Life? For me the Word of God, the BIBLE, is fuel for life. When I arrived at home I remembered that milk is mentioned [...]

People who believe in the stars are actually afraid. (ANGST!)- Says an Ex-Astrology person, who is now a born again Christian.
Instead of believing in the [...]

EIN SCHLECHTES GEWISSEN
Alfred Nobel erfand das Dynamit und hatte danach ein schlechtes Gewissen. So stiftete er den Nobelpreis.
Es ist schon schlimm, ein schlechtes Gewissen zu haben. Karl May schreibt auch davon in einem seiner Buecher. Ich zitiere aus Winnetou 2. Band Seite 181 wo Old Shatterhand mit Old Death eine Unterhaltung hat. Old Death spricht:”Hoert [...]
