Chinks in the armor
By Philip C. Galanis:
It is a truism in politics that with each passing day, the governing party is one day closer to being replaced by the party in opposition. This is equally as true for the Free National Movement (FNM) as it is for the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP).

Bitterness blocks blessings
By D. Paul Reilly:
The world is alas full of a whole lot of people who are extremely bitter toward someone, a family member, friend, or perhaps former business associate, whom they perceive did them wrong in some way. Now this perceived wrong which was committed against them, in so many cases, was done many, many years ago. And yet the person who was hurt in some way, is still holding onto bitterness in their heart. How very, very sad this kind of distorted, totally unspiritual thinking is to observe being employed by so many pitiful people.

A chat with Joe Sample

Fundamentalists don't listen
By D. Paul Reilly:
I mentioned in the last article that I saw Pastor Rick Warren Author of the best-seller 'A purpose-driven Life' last Sunday on 'Meet The Press' on NBC. The interviewer was asking him about the fact, that so many people involved in religion are so very negative, and indeed destructive in so many ways. The interviewer pointed out, and quite rightly so, that religious people are presently causing a whole lot of problems throughout the entire world.

Crocodile, alligator — they look the same, and you really can't tell the difference, so why are they different animals? And what makes a tortoise different from a turtle.

Arise & Shine
By d. paul reilly:
As I have written about many times in the past, failure at some point in a person's life is inevitable. That's right, we all fail from time to time as we relentlessly travel the never-ending road to success. Indeed, many of us learn most valuable lessons from our failures in life, our mistakes if you will. However, in order to eventually be successful once again, we have to, having learnt the important lesson to be learnt from our temporary failure, from the mistake which we made; get back up on our feet, shake ourselves off, and recommence our journey toward our desired destination, toward our cherished dreams.

What's your excuse?
By D. Paul Reilly:
I asked a friend of mine some time back, how his weight reduction plan was progressing. He replied saying that unfortunately he was not doing too well in that department as he was right now grossly overweight, which was causing him all sorts of health problems, to say nothing of the fact, that he was now quite embarrassed by his actual weight. When I enquired why he was so overweight, he replied by stating that he didn't have the money to go to the Doctor to get the pills he needed to suppress his appetite, and thus lose the weight he needed to.
Hot Latin dance, spicy food and a steamy night out
By Raquel Pinder ~ Guardian Intern:
It's sultry, sexy, and infused with a pinch of passion that makes you want to trill "Ei Ei Papi." When you see people engaged in the act, you secretly wish you had the confidence to allow your partner to twirl you in the air like a Japanese umbrella before you slither down his arm while you stare intensely into each other's eyes — and not miss a step. In Grand Bahama such a spicy evening is all the rage at its recently debuted "Hot Salsa Nights."
