Christmas is a special time of year. We celebrate Christ's birth, remembering God's gift of love to the world. What are some special traditions that you or your family have as part of celebrating Christmas?

BrianDaniel Of course we love Christmas Eve worship service. It reminds us of all the sacrifices God has made for us and how much he loves us, in order to make those sacrifices. We also have one main shopping day as a family (and several smaller ones too) where we shop...

Do designation and high pay change your attitude towards co-workers?

viju0410 @viju0410 (2286) • India 27 Jul 11

When we join a job we try to prove our best and wanted to climb up the ladder of growth and improvement. There are people who reach so high but forget about those who helped him/her reach that top position. I have interacted with...

BrianDaniel It is unfortunate to see some people change as they "climb the ladder." Of course, we are all changing all of the time. Gaining authority or wealth affects every person differently. The person who stays connected to his or her roots while using the new...

It sometimes takes the right book to enjoy reading

megamatt @megamatt (14291) • United States 26 Jul 11

I tended to enjoy to read books ever since I was a young child. For some people though, that love tends to not get cultivated until much later in life. There are many people who have been turned off by reading as children, until...

BrianDaniel I think in today's tech and mobile world, people find it harder to read for more than a few seconds. I'm concerned that in twenty years the people running the world will run it in sound bites and images alone. That's a little scary.

K31 @keihimekawa (2009) • Philippines 27 Jul 11

It just baffles me why there are a lot of people loves reading and at the same time, there are people also hates them. I also used to dislike reading. Whenever I see small printed words, I tend to sleep before finishing 2 pages :P...

BrianDaniel Reading is a gateway to life. It educates, encourages, rebukes, teaches, and mentors. Reading allows us to go places we haven't been and explore in more depth where we have already been.

Does knowledge make us happy or sad?

sashakiddo @sashakiddo (1102) • United States 20 Apr 11

I use to read a lot. I always read the required reading for class, especially for sociology. I think because of this, I tend to know more than my friends who don't really care about class. I feel like this sets me apart from them,...

BrianDaniel Both. Knowledge that benefits us can make us happy if we embrace it or it can make us sad if we don't know what to do with it or don't realize that it might benefit us. Our perspectives and attitudes influence the way knowledge affects us. Our experiences...

BrianDaniel People are lonely and looking for someone to love them. They falsely assume that this new exciting person will make the difference in their lives even though deep down they know the problem is not with others, it is with themselves, but they don't know how to...

BrianDaniel I guess it depends what you mean by collapse? Economic? Moral? Communal/social? You suggest financials so I'll keep it to that. No, I don't think we are. But I do think we will limp along for a few years. There will be an uptick at some point. But I agree with...

Do we really need God and religion?

kendedes2011 @kendedes2011 (2712) • Indonesia 3 Feb 11

Why do we seek God? why we are religious and believe in god? especially if we are religious because religion was adopted by our parents when we were born.

BrianDaniel Well, we think we are seeking after God, but we don't. No one is good or righteous, so in ourselves, we don't actually seek. We only have the ability to seek if we are given that ability. God gives the ability and he says that he approached us first. Any...

BrianDaniel Money market accounts are like savings accounts. You can add and subtract money at will. You'll have flexibility with this account but the interest rate will be low. If you'll need the money in the next year or so, use a savings or money...

BrianDaniel Possible? Yes, definitely but only after several years at least. But is it a good idea? Probably not. Christmas card contact and such would be fine but regular contact is not advisable. That means little or no social media contact and definitely no face to...

BrianDaniel I try not to pray for weather. Might it be that someone is benefitting from bad weather? Rather, I will pray for you to stay warm, for God to provide for you in amazing ways.

Husband or wife cheated! Is it the end?

calajane @calajane (1003) • Poland 17 Jan 11

BrianDaniel So far the responses have focused on the issue of "second chances" and "forgiveness." It is difficult to predict how anyone will respond in a situation like this. Obviously, forgiveness is a key issue to move forward but forgiveness should not be given easily...
