What is love? In reading Rick Warren's book 'The Purpose Driven Life' there's a chapter that has something to ponder-Life is all about Love. Is it? We are all in various kinds of relationships some good, some bad and some we just know yet. It is also a way of showing and doing good for someone as one of my favorite Bible verses which is 'Love Thy Neighbor as you do yourself'' or something like that. I was never that good at memorizing verses of any kind. So, to show love one still must be forgiving, honest and family oriented.

Genogram
I am reading a textbook entitles 'Genogram'. This is one of the textbooks that I had to read when I thought I wanted to be a Family therapist. Now I am re-reading it and still it is a good book even reading about historical families from all eras. The reason that I am re-reading this is one is in the hopes of writing a few articles for an educational magazine that I have has a few articles published a few years ago. The main objective of the textbook is to see the reasons why some family issues occur over time.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

beautiful piece
Forgiveness and honesty, totally agree with them being the key
Very nice. I believe forgiveness and love go hand-in-hand - you can't have one without the other.
I agree with you. I don't have that good of a memory when it comes to bible verses either, but God will help us. I loved your thoughts on this, I always think of that scripture before I do anything 'love thy neighbour as yourself' I always think, how would I want to be treated. Although I am not always perfect in this area, I do try, even if it is to see what happens. Very well written as always.
Love this one, nice work.
