Many people try to hold a raging fire within themselves, but it restlessly and relentlessly gnaws at their core.

3). How Do You Deal With Adversity By : Deanna Mascle
"We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival." ~ Winston Churchill I remember reading some time ago about a study of longevity in humans. There has been a large body of scientific research into the reasons why some people are long-lived but of course while various diets, health regimes, and regional or ethnic differences are often linked to living long it is a very difficult cause and effect relationship to determine because there are so many other variables involved.

5). The 5 important life lessons I learned from my dog By : Deanna Mascle
The 5 important life lessons I learned from my dog Our son has been on a long, arduous campaign for our family to adopt a dog. I have to admit we are weakening. I have always loved dogs and I can well remember my own beloved childhood friends as well as that desperate desire for my very own canine companion. Plus he is an active child who loves the outdoors and he is an only child with no children his age living nearby so a dog could be a wonderful playmate and friend.

6). Lessons We Can Learn From Jonah and the Whale By : Deanna Mascle
Our church has charged all parents of young children to read a Bible story each day to our children so reading from my son Noah's children's Bible has become a part of our regular bedtime routine. Sometimes I try to hit stories that relate to the current holiday in the Christian calendar and other times we simply pick stories that look interesting to him (there are pictures to help with the choice).

7). Is your fireplace keeping you warm and cosy? - Tips for better heat. By : Richard Banks
With the growing trend in restoring to use those fireplaces that have been bricked or boarded up, it is important that these restored fireplaces and chimneys are working efficiently. For wood or coal burning fires to burn well, a good supply of air is required along with a chimney to expel the hot exhaust gases and smoke. Also the fuel should be held in a grate clear of the hearth floor allowing full circulation of the air and waste ash to fall through, so as not to stifle the fire.

12). Would you rather fly or be invisible? By : Deanna Mascle
Recently one of my son's favorite TV stations conducted a survey of children. They asked kids which superpower they would rather have: the ability to fly or to be invisible? To me it seemed to be a no-brainer--to fly most definitely! First of all, I think the ability to fly offers a lot more opportunity for fun, adventure, and freedom. Just think.

This is a question that most people grapple with from time to time and it has largely been on my mind this past week.

14). Fireplace Design - A real burning issue. By : Richard Banks
Mantlepiece and grate styles have altered but the basic structural elements of a fireplace have not radically changed for hundreds of years. The early combination of a large stone or brick opening with a chimney built over it evolved from the obvious fact that smoke rises, rather than from a scientific understanding of how a well-designed flue system works.

15). I Enjoy A Nice Fire By : Triston Huntsmin
Summer is here, and that means only one thing if you have the privilege of living on or near water, like I do. It means that it is time for being on the water, in the water, and near the water. The hours you spend near the water should have one element in common: a great fire. There is nothing that compares to spending an entire day at the beach and staying as the sun sets to enjoy time around the fire.
