This is the secret of the universe: God IS!
Knowing this is one thing; knowing what it means and why it is important is quite another.
In future posts, I will share my thoughts on this subject. Feel free to comment, I would love to hear other opinions and thoughts on the matter.

Hunger in America
Have you heard the public service spots on TV or the radio that say that 1 in 6 children in America go to bed hungry. We do not even know what hunger is in this country. All I can say to this is Bullshit!!! Bullshit!! Bullshit!! I do not know what their game is, but this kind of propaganda is just pure nonsense. If any of this is true, then we should start prosecuting the parents for child neglect -- and their children should be put into foster care.

Advice for the newly weds
Look! If someone tells you that a marriage requires hard work, don't you believe it. If it requires any kind of work at all, I'm afraid you married the wrong person. Soul-mates are forever -- and when you find your soul-mate it is magical. It is like you've known each other all of your lives and anything before that time is just a distant dream. I learned this from my cousin Jaye. She said, "Marriage should be easy - it shouldn't be hard." After marrying two losers, number three turned out to be her soul-mate.
The secret to a happy marriage is this: Be Happy!!! If you both choose to be happy you will have a long and happy marriage. No one (and I mean NO ONE) can make you happy or sad. Happiness is your choice alone and you have a moral imperative to BE happy. Remember that you are personally responsible for your own happiness.
It is true that misery loves company -- but do not fall into the trap of commiserating. Stay away from miserable people. If you are around people who are criticising their spouses, walk (make that RUN) away.
Always be honest - and keep no secrets. True love cannot exist in the absence of honesty. (Read Greg Baer's "Real Love") No secret is worth keeping from the one you love. Do not be afraid to be vulnerable, because honesty will make you vulnerable.
Openness and open dialogue will serve you well. Never (and I mean NEVER) judge another (especially your spouse). There is only one judge in the universe. Pirkei Avot 2:5 Says, Never judge another until you reach his place. Another of the sages commenting on this passage added: "and you will never reach his place."
