Top Ten Movies to Rent in 2008 or Anytime: Which Changed My Life? by Terri Gillespie

Happy New Year … again!

I thought I’d switch-up this month’s Jewish Roots

column with a list of great movies that depict—fairly accurately—the Jewish culture.

Rejoice With Those by Kathi Macias

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

The New Year by Pastor Marcelene Murdock

This time of the Year has an important meaning to all people on earth, it is change. Every New Year gives us a feeling of renewal within: and this feeling brings the action of choice to change something in our lives.

When I would accept love at any price

I would always walk away feeling used

A Fathers wish at Christmas

On December 25^th a story you will tell

Of the baby born in a manger, one we know so well
