God Is Coming Like The Niagara Falls by Kathie Walters Web: www.goodnews.netministries.org/kathie.htm Email: Kathiewalters@mindspring.com THIS COMING MOVE OF GOD may be not as you think. Several years ago I was in a meeting in Orlando. During the worship I was asking the Lord what to preach about, and He told me "Romans 6 - you WERE crucified with Christ." Almost immediately I was taken up in the Spirit and wasn't able to move in any way, and I couldn't even open my eyelids. I could hear the music of the pianist, and the next thing I felt was something strongly...

Parenting: You only get one chance to do it right My family recently returned from one of our legendary Hagelin road trips: Two adults, six children (three of them friends), a dog, a van and 20 hours of highway. Both ways. We get a lot of camaraderie out of such trips. We rinse off a lot of sand. We go through a lot of suntan lotion. And we eat a lot of food you won't find on the surgeon general's recommended list anytime soon. Sometimes, we nearly kill each other – but, all in all, these family trips are loads...

THE perfume diet may be the next big thing after researchers found men think women weigh less if they smell of flowers than if they smell of pizza. In fact, a 10-year US study has found that pleasant, floral-spice perfume makes women appear 5kg lighter in the eyes of the opposite sex. Other odours, including butterscotch, cigarette smoke, grapefruit and pepperoni pizza don't have the same effect. The floral-spice scent acted as "the olfactory equivalent to vertical lines", said Chicago neurologist and psychiatrist Alan Hirsch, who presented his findings at a meeting of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences in Florida....

Female cheetahs at New York's Bronx Zoo prefer men's cologne (Pic: S. Durant, WCS)  Female cheetahs at the Bronx Zoo just love Calvin Klein perfumes. But these New York cats don't dab it behind their ears - they just enjoy rubbing up against tree stumps sprayed with it. This is no New Age experiment in aromatherapy, but part of a program of the Wildlife Conservation Society, which operates New York City's zoos and aquariums, to keep animals healthy and happy. "We want to enrich the daily lives of the animals, both physically and psychologically," said Dr Diana Reiss, a...
