The GIFT that brings FORGIVENESS
By Andrew Lansdown
If a Christmas carol is defined as a song that relates and celebrates the
Christmas story, then Bruce Cockburn’s song “Cry of a Tiny Babe”
is a contemporary Christmas carol, and a fine one, too.

We have machinery to repair our DNA!
Believe It or Not
By Dr Jonathan Sarfati
Our body’s information is stored on the famous DNA double helix molecule. This is so efficient that just five round pinheads full of DNA could hold all the information of the earth’s entire human population. And each of our 100 trillion cells has 3 billion DNA ‘letters’ (called nucleobases) worth of information.

Toilet Training — Part 3
Better Parenting
by David and Charissa Scotford
Toilet training is a developmental skill all children learn eventually. There is no right or wrong time to start training but on average, most children will be ready sometime between 18 and 36 months. Toilet readiness is not necessarily a sign of intelligence. The temptation, particularly with our first children, is to start too early. We encourage you to wait and look for readiness signs as it will save you lots of time and stress in the long run.
