Today's Headlines: "Obama Arrives In Iraqi City of Basra"

I don't know what exactly Senator Barack Obama was doing in the Iraqi city of Basra, but one thing is for certain, it was in order to put him in good standing towards being elected as President of the United States. One thing we can learn from this is that if their is something that you really want and you have made up your mind to achieve it, you will do whatever it takes and go where ever you need to in order to accomplish your goal. There is no getting in the way of firm convictions. The Rabbi of Lubavitch encouraged some one with the words, "if you seek you will find." Indeed, that seeker did find.

Today's Headlines: "Government trying to figure out why massive crane fell"

A tragedy happened. A massive crane fell and people where hurt. We grope for answers, after all, that is human nature. There exists a level of maturity in which we do not need to search for answers. One who arrives at this level of maturity is able to accept that not every question needs an answer and not every problem needs to be solved. This level of maturity embraces silence and accepts that there are times when the best solution is to give a heartfelt sigh from deep within. It would be wise of us to acknowledge this level of maturity and set it as a goal for ourselves.

Today's Headlines: "World's most expensive house sold in French Riviera"

Today somebody bought a beautiful home on the French Riviera for 500 million dollars. That's allot of dollars. I live in a beautiful home for a fraction of the cost (much less than a million). I have a beautiful view. My home is perched on a mountainside. The air is fresh. It would seem to me that rather than spending 500 million on a home, we would be wise to live someplace that is worth 500 million dollars to us, even if the real estate assessors say differently. As far as I'm concerned, the view from my porch is worth 500 million.

Today's Headlines: "Pope to apologize for abuse by priests in Australia

This just goes to show (and to remind us) that know matter how successful, powerful, or prestigious a person is, we are never beyond making amends and saying that two word spiritual formula: "I'm sorry."

Today's Headline's: Barak Obama forgets one detail for Hillary Rodham Clinton

After delivering a speak, asking people to help cover the cost of Hillary Clinton's campaign, Obama forgot to make the request that money be given. Upon remembering, he walked back on stage and sheepishly made the request. It was serve us well to learn from Obama that friendship and camaraderie is possible and doable even amongst former antagonists (or running mates). Let us take a moment to identify people in our lives who where former adversaries to whom we can now lend a helping hand--doing so is a spiritual step.

Today's Headlines: "Paradise regained? Fire crews gaining on California blaze

Although when hit with difficult times, we may not be able to restore our assets to what they might have been before "fire," that does not exempt us from fighting those flames. Our assets may increase after the "disaster" or the paradise after the disaster might simply be a different kind of paradise after the disaster. An example of this is Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. The active volcanoes are constantly changing the scenic beauty of the park so that todays beauty is always different from yesterday's beauty. Nevertheless, we must actively fight those fires as they crop up in our lives. How do we do that? The answer: Self-empowerment.
