Organizing your Retreat Group

October 12, 2010 - "Organizing your Retreat Group" By Joseph Parish. Few of us have the financial resources to incorporate and support a vast number of people in our retreat groups.

The Political Ox

October 9, 2010 - "The Political Ox" By Joseph Parish. I watch the television and see all the political commercials and have to wonder what our political system has evolved into these days.

Reading between the lines

September 24, 2010 - "Reading between the lines" By Joseph Parish.

Your Choice Stun Guns or Tasers

September 17, 2010 - "Your Choice Stun Guns or Tasers" By Joseph Parish. No one wants to kill another human being even in the line of self defense unless they are psychologically unstable.

This puts us on the verge of possibly causing another’s untimely death. Click here
