But ironic as it may seem, can you really save or invest if you are just at the point of getting back on your feet from the quagmire of financial troubles such as...more

The Louvre is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Originally the Louvre was the home of the Kings and Queens of France until the 1400's when Louis the 14th decided that the palace was not big enough, and moved the estate to Versailles. The Kings and Queens still used the Louvre to house their artwork and for a place to stay if they visited Paris. During the French Revolution in 1789, the Louvre was stormed by the French public when they found out that Louis the 16th and Marie Antoinette were hiding inside. After the revolution, the people of France opened the Louvre up to the public as the first state museum in Paris. When it first opened only 650 pieces were housed here, now there are over 400 000 (with only a small percent actually exhibited). If you were to spend one minute looking at each piece in the Louvre, it would take you over 9 months. In 1980 the Louvre underwent an aggressive renovation and expansion. The glass pyramid in the middle of the square was designed to resolve access problems, and was designed by the famous American Architect I.M. Pei.Most of the art in the Louvre is pre 1500's, so it is mostly religious...more

Can contemporary Christian music provide a worship experience as fulfilling as traditional hymns? I believe it can. I know that I love singing Shout to the Lord just as much as Amazing Grace accompanied by a church full of believers. I'm pretty sure that a number of worship leaders are missing out on a golden opportunity.Some may question whether new Christian music is okay for worship. The newer churches tend to feature this type of music regularly Unfortunately at the older churches there is a resistance to the newer Christian music. Hymns are supposed to be songs that praise and worship the Lord. I feel that modern Christian music does indeed do that.I find it hard to believe that anyone would think a song like I Can Only Imagine does not glorify God. The issue here is one of fear. People in general fear new things.Regrettably this is not just a one sided issue. Most of the modern large churches do not use the old traditional hymns as part of their worship services. Motivated by a fear of losing the young crowd these modern churches often refrain from the old God songs. It is of course okay to cater to the youth somewhat. Isn't it possible to make both the young and old happy?...more
