Soul Healing

From Chabad.org's Daily Dose:

People think that if they are not well, they must sacrifice all meaning in their life in order to take care of their physical situation. In fact, the opposite is true: You cannot separate the healing of the body from the healing of the soul. As you treat the body, you must also increase in nourishing the soul. Doctors know this very well, but they should make better use of the fact.

Self-Evident As Light

"God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light."

The Day the Iron Horse Stopped Running

Lou Gehrig's massive 2,130 game playing streak ended on 2 May 1939 when he decided, as Captain of the New York Yakees, to take himself out of the line-up. Said Gehrig:

"I haven't been a bit of good to the team since the season started. It would not be fair to the boys, to Joe, or to the baseball public for me to try going on. In fact, it would not be fair to myself, and I'm the last consideration."

When the news was announced to the crowd of fans in Detroit's Briggs Stadium they gave Lou a rousing ovation.
