Book excerpt: Goodwill towards others has never felt better… Noelle Cameron won’t let being basically homeless in a new state dampen her Christmas spirit. Thanks to her coworker, she has a temporary housing possibility. However, her new potential roommate is about as welcoming as the Grinch. But Noelle refuses to let scowls and snide remarks about her festive attire steal her joy. Winning over the cranky Lennox will be a victory sweeter than sugar cookies. Lennox Sutton doesn’t want to live with anyone. Unfortunately, one well delivered guilt trip from her sister means taking in the woman wearing a reindeer headband and an attitude that goes past glass half full to it completely spilling over. Now she’s stuck with a person who embodies everything Lennox dislikes about the holiday season. But beneath the ugly sweaters shines someone whose company Lennox could enjoy. A meddling sister and a dash of Christmas magic might have these two polar opposites finding new ways to enjoy the season of giving.
Download or read book A Right to Be Merry written by Mother Mary Francis and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÊCan life really be "merry" inside a Poor Clare cloister? This happy book reveals the challenges, cares and joys of that cloistered life from an "insiders" view. The poet's cry, "O world, I cannot hold you close enough!" is the heart's cry of the enclosed contemplative. No one who has not lived in a cloister can fully understand just how intertwined are the lives of cloistered nuns. Their hearts may be wide as the universe and bottomless as eternity, but the practical details of their living are boxed up into the small area within the enclosure walls. Cloistered nuns rub souls as well as elbows all their lives, and if they do not step out of themselves to get a true perspective, they can become small-souled and petty and remain immature children all their lives long. But, as Mother Mary Francis points out, they also have "as great a right to be merry as any lady in the world." Nor is merriment all. "Hidden away from the glare and noise of worldly living," Mother Mary Francis writes, "we are enclosed in the womb of holy Church. I walk down the cloisters, and my heart moves to a single tune: Lord, it is good, so good to be here!"

They deal with the exhaustion of the Western Christian tradition and its need to `cross boundaries` if it is to find renewal; why the North should be interested in development; how to respond to highly divergent views about the effects of the global economy; advice to Christian campaigners and demonstrators; differences and similarities between those who set out to reform the global economy and those who reject it wholesale; ways of doing social theology or social ethics; and some of the challenges made by faith traditions in the `South` to the mainstream development tradition. Many recurring themes in the book arise from the continuing tradition of Christian Realism, requiring us to take full of account of the worst as well as the best in human nature.

Book excerpt: No wonder. How often have you felt whipsawed by the experts, confused by conflicting advice, or torn with guilt over what you eat, drink, think? Prepare yourself for a shock: You can relax, enjoy life, and still be healthy. Renowned for candid straight talk on radio and television, Dr. Dean Edell applies his unique common-sense perspective to America's growing obsession with health. Frank and iconoclastic, Dr. Edell walks readers through a lifetime of experience from deep inside twin worlds of media and medicine. As one of the first media doctors, he knows better than anyone the dangers of distorted medical reporting. With colorful detail, he shows how medical consumers are made neurotic at a time when people are healthier than ever before. Dr. Edell sorts through the morass of research, distinguishing documentable fact from panic-inducing fiction. With trademark humor, grace, and style, he shares with us the essential reassuring facts about our health: you can be fatter than you think; too much exercise might kill you; and yes, sex will add years to your life! Did You Know That... People who crave ice chips may have a nutritional deficiency? Saturated fat may reduce the risk of stroke? Dementia appears to be less common among those who eat more fish? You can lose weight by fidgeting, chewing on a pencil, or drinking coffee? Sex can cure headaches? Playing an instrument is not only good for your mental health, it burns 160 calories an hour?
Download or read book Getting Justice and Getting Even written by Sally Engle Merry and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-05-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary Americans often bring family and neighborhood problems to court, seeking justice or revenge. The litigants in these local squabbles encounter law at its boundaries in the corridors of busy city courthouses, in the offices of court clerks, and in the church parlors used by mediation programs. Getting Justice and Getting Even concerns the legal consciousness of working class Americans and their experiences with court and mediation. Following cases into and through the courts, Sally Engle Merry provides an ethnographic study of local law and of the people who use it in a New England city. The litigants, primarily white, native-born, and working class, go to court because as part of mainstream America they feel entitled to use its legal system. Although neither powerful nor highly educated, they expect the law's support when they face intolerable infringements of their rights, privacy, and safety. Yet as personal problems enter the legal system and move through mediation sessions, clerk's hearings, and prosecutor's conferences, the citizen plaintiff rapidly loses control of the process. Court officials and mediators interpret and characterize the meaning of these experiences, reframing and categorizing them in different discourses. Some plaintiffs yield to these interpretations, but others resist, struggling to assert their own version of the problem. Ultimately, Merry exposes the paradox of legal entitlement. While going to court allows an individual to dominate domestic relationships, the litigant must increasingly yield control of the situation to the court that supplies that power.

Book excerpt: Wine and beer are an integral part of the socio-cultural landscape from the most sacred rituals to everyday use. Drink and Be Merry: Wine and Beer in Ancient Times, on view at The Jewish Museum from July 30 to November 5, 2000, presents 5,000 years of drinking culture in the eastern Mediterranean and Near East through an exhibition of over 180 objects including art, artifacts and paraphernalia of the trade. Organized by the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, this exhibition explores two of the oldest known beverages, valued throughout time for their abilities to lift spirits, inspire religious fervor, deaden pain and cure illness. It examines the subject of wine and beer in antiquity from methods of production to drinking customs and presents the central role of these two beverages in religious and secular contexts, on special occasions and in everyday use. Drink and Be Merry focuses on the wine regions of Rome, Greece and Israel and the grain-rich lands of Mesopotamia and Egypt, from the fourth millennium BCE until the decline in the consumption of alcoholic beverages with the spread of Islam in the seventh century CE. Drink and Be Merry: Wine and Beer in Ancient Times is sponsored by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc. with support from other generous funders.

The love of a good man. The hope of a new family. The promise of a fantasy fulfilled. This soulful collection of holiday stories proves there's more than one reason for gettin' merry...and they all lead straight to the heart.
