Inviting Christ into your everyday life The Representative, October 21, 2005 By Grant McDowell
	Laura Nash shares in her book, Church on Sunday, Work on Monday about a man who was in the midst of an ugly lawsuit against his company. It felt like a threat against his life, until he remembered, through prayer and Bible study, where his real treasures were, and how Jesus had posed an example of unconditional love and sacrifice. This knowledge caused him to keep his head and his heart in the proceedings, and actually initiate a meeting that led to reconciliation.

HAT TRICK An excerpt from "Why Bother?" by Sam Smith Progressive Review, October 14, 2005
	In a world dominated by dichotomies, debate, definition and deconstruction, existentialism suggests not a result but a way, not a solution but an approach, not goal but a far and misty horizon. It is, says Robert Solomon "a sensibility .... an attitude towards oneself, an attitude towards one's world, an attitude towards one's behavior."
