    How College Students Can Avoid Having Bad Credit
    As the cost of going to college continues to increase, many students make the mistake of taking on debt they can't handle. They may choose to take out credit cards or student loans, and end up with a lifetime of bad credit.

    The Somewhat Interested Prospect
    Some smarty coined the phase that in sales, “everything is fair game”. Actually it’s quite unfair; tilting unfairly in your favor or someone else’s. So – are you going to play the game to win? If you are here’s your first lesson: winning this game is not a one-time event: it’s a daily challenge. And the key to your success is lea
    Thumbing through Isaiah recently I was startled to find this: after a passage (in Isaiah 19) in which the prophet describes horrors that caused the hearts of the Egyptians to "melt within them," he predicts that "the people will turn to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them." The next lines describe how three bitter enemies—Egypt, Assyria, and Israel—will "worship together" and how all three will become "a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, 'Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.'" What a picture!

    Like the ancient Egyptians, those who died in Southeast Asia on December 26 (and since then) are in God's hands. But among the living amazing things have happened. Will they last? In Sri Lanka, where a decades-old conflict has killed twice as many people as died in the tsunamis, Tamil Tigers and Sinhalese have joined forces in common relief efforts. So have Hindus and Muslims in India.

    The United States has an unprecedented opportunity to embrace Muslims of many nations as the fellow humans they are, not only with disaster relief but with genuine compassion and generosity. The world has been struck; what would happen if we let God heal us? Why can't the miracle described in Isaiah 19 happen today? Why can't forgiveness and peace heal the wounds of today's wars—including the petty wars that fracture so many of our relationships?

    For Effective Decisions, Look Beyond Career Stereotypes

    What if in the USA (tell me, why can't it happen today?) the Christians put their weapons away and disarmed their enemies with love?

    What if the Laskar mujahedeen (who killed Christians on the Malukus) called on their brothers and sisters worldwide to embrace nonviolence and peace?

    Why can't it happen now (while hands are helping and hearts are hurting) that we remove all obstacles to make this and much, much more possible?

    Or will our hands and hearts and minds (united now in a common humanity) trade shovels, grief, and generosity for guns and greed and animosity?

    What if we grasped the moment that is now (now we know when; now we know how) and not put off what we can do today for tomorrow, when all could be washed away?
