1. After his death, Albert Einstein's brain was stolen by a pathologist and cut up into 240 pieces. Thomas Harvey was the pathologist on call at Princeton Hospital when Einstein died there in April 1955. Einstein wanted all of his remains to be cremated and scattered, but Harvey had other ideas. He  took the brain without permission , and eventually it was carved up into 240 pieces, preserved, and stored in Harvey's basement. 2. Time passes faster for your face than your feet. "Time dilation" is a side effect of Einstein's relativity. You might have heard about it in relation to something called the "twin paradox" – a thought experiment that involves one twin being sent up to space while the other remains on Earth. Einstein's theory says that the twin on the spaceship, traveling at high speed around the universe, ages more slowly, and when she returns is younger than her Earth-bound sibling. This has been proved true by sending cl...

The test of a man is the fight he makes. The strength that he daily shows; The way he stands on his feet and takes Fate's numerous bumps and blows. A coward can smile where there is naught to fear; When nothing his progress bars. But it takes man to stand up and cheer While some others follow stars It isn't the victory, after all. But the fight that a brother makes. The man who, driven against the wall, Still stands up erect and takes The blows of fate with his head held high. Bleeding and bruised, and pale Is the Man who'll  win in the by and by For he is the one who dares never to give up.                                                         Adapted from "Dare to fail"

One study showed that even when the sick person did not know people were praying for him/her, their health improved. As believers, we know personally what prayer has done for us in our times of sickness (Js. 5:15-16). But did you know that “praying in tongues” can actually make you healthier? Speaking in Tongues Can Boost Your Immune System A few years ago, a brain surgeon at Oral Roberts University did a study of what happens in the brain when people pray in tongues. He found that they secreted two chemicals that can boost the immune system by 35-40%! Think about the effects this can have on opportunistic diseases such as cancer. God created the immune system to be our defense against harmful invaders: bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and even malignant. It is when the immune system is weakened that such pathogens can attack and overwhelm our bodies. We all know tha...

Medical Facts About Speaking In Tongues – Carl R. Peterson, M.D Dear Friends, First a caveat, I am not a Charismatic but I am fortunate to recieve the gift of tongues even without anyone laying his or her hands on me. Secondly, this note is not only for people who do not believe in the gift of tongues but those who don’t understand why God would give such a gift as his first gift to the church and whether is it relevant today. I ask that you read it with an open mind. My intention is to bring praise to God for such a gift and pray that those of you who have recieve such a gift use it for His glory.

There is a study that has been done by Dr. Carl Peterson, M....
