Live Before You Leave
JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute… They say, “The greatest risk is not taking one.” Why is it when we grow up and become adults, we stop sticking our necks out and taking chances? Yet, at the end of our life, we’ll probably regret the things we did not do more than the things we did. (more...)
A Two-Way Conversation
JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute… Do you sometimes wonder why you didn’t get what you prayed for? Does God really listen and answer our prayers? Is talking with God just something we do to make us feel good about ourselves? How should we pray? Some people sit back after they pray and wait for God to bring them what they want like a [...]
Two Little Words
JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute… A husband and wife had not spoken to each other for days. They were still angry at one another since their last fight.

Get Over It
JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute… A young mother said that she never really appreciated her parents until she had children of her own.

Live and Learn
JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute… A little boy said: “I’ve learned that if I’m in trouble at school, I’m going to be in more trouble at home.” A husband remarked: “I’ve learned I should never praise my mother’s cooking while I’m eating my wife’s cooking.” An old woman observed: “I’ve learned that 6-year-old [...]
Ride the Wild Horses
JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute… Wild horses are such beautiful, powerful animals. It’s inspiring just to watch them run—fast and free. Yet their great speed and power would be of no use for transportation or anything else to mankind, if they had not been trained. But then, we humans also have tremendous natural power and [...]
Cease-Fire
THINK a minute… In June, 1969, the countries of Honduras and El Salvador declared war against each other. Until then, these two neighboring nations in Central America had been like close cousins. For many years people from El Salvador had lived and worked as farmers in Honduras. Then suddenly things changed and the two countries became [...]
