  "Now after fifty years, it's time for Canada to stand up and cheer. Stand up and cheer everybody! The Olympics Salt Lake City, 2002, men's ice hockey gold medal: Canada!" —Bob Cole, CBC play-by-play broadcaster 
   
   
   
  There was no iconic Paul Henderson moment, nor a Sidney Crosby golden goal, but Canada's 5-2 victory against the rival United States in the men's 2002 Olympic gold medal game wiped out fifty years of frustration for the nation that invented ice hockey. 
   
   
   
  Canadians from coast to coast were whipped into a frenzy, with impromptu celebrations on streets like Granville in Vancouver, Yonge in Toronto, Ste-Catherine in Montreal, and Portage and Main in Winnipeg. 
   
   
   
  Gold is the definitive chronicle of how the men of Team Canada made history. Marking twenty years since the momentous victory, Tim Wharnsby delivers the inside story of how Gretzky built the team and Pat Quinn got them to the gold medal, featuring exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and personnel.

  St. Augustine wrestled with the conflict between living as a devout Christian and surviving in a world where violence was an all-too-familiar reality. With stirring reasoning, scenarios, and facts, Rick Barrett will help you weigh the challenges and responsibilities regarding the morality of self-defense. From sixteenth-century England to present-day America, you will see what the law states regarding whether one is permitted to stand his ground or obligated to retreat. 
    
  Sure to spark debate, The Armed Catholic answers questions such as: Should only those with legitimate authority bear firearms, or are citizens morally permitted to as well? Did the Church ever endorse pacifism? Does the Catechism of the Catholic Church support the right to self-defense? What does the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops say about gun control? 
    
  In a post-modern Church that seems more concerned with modernity than eternity, Barrett breaks open what the Catholic Church and her popes have believed about self-defense since the 1500s and the continuity of her teaching. He further lays out St. Thomas Aquinas's thoughts on self-defense and the use of force. Moreover, he examines how these principles bear some similarities with the morality of Just War principles, according to St. Augustine, and explains the intention that should never drive an individual to either.

  When God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden,   He placed a Cherubim and a Flaming Sword on the east side of the Garden of Eden to guard the way to the Tree of Life. The significance of the cherubim and the flaming sword still exists today. The song, 'Don't You Know' sung by Chey at the end of the sermon, gives the listener an opportunity to reflect on the sermon.

  Self-Discipline - The Controlled...

  Self-discipline is the cornerstone of personal development and success. It is the ability to control one’s emotions, behaviors, and actions in the face of temptations and impulses. In a world filled with distractions and instant gratification, self-discipline becomes increasingly important. It is what allows individuals to make decisions that align with their long-term goals, even when immediate desires may try to pull them off course. 
  At its core, self-discipline is about the ability to focus on what is important, not just what is easy. It involves a deep understanding of personal values and the determination to act according to those values, regardless of external influences. People who possess self-discipline are able to say "no" to short-term pleasures and distractions in favor of achieving their greater objectives. Whether it’s choosing to exercise, staying on top of work deadlines, or resisting the temptation to procrastinate, self-discipline helps maintain the balance between immediate gratification and long-term success. 
  One of the key aspects of self-discipline is understanding that it is not an inherent trait, but rather a skill that can be developed over time. While some individuals may have a natural tendency toward discipline, anyone can cultivate this ability with practice and persistence. The first step in building self-discipline is recognizing the areas in life where improvement is needed and then committing to making changes. This often involves setting clear goals, developing strategies, and following through on commitments, even when it feels difficult or inconvenient.

  Angkor Wat - Historical Facts...

  Angkor Wat, in northwest Cambodia, is the world's largest spiritual structure in the shape of a temple complex, with an acreage of 401 +344 acres. A quincunx of 4 towers surrounds a center spire that rises up to a height of 65 meters (213 feet) in the air in the temple's heart. The temple is separated into 3 rectangle-shaped galleries, each of which rises over the one before it. It's surrounded by a 3.6-kilometer-long (24-mile-long) external wall and a five-kilometer-long (three-mile-long) moat. 
  The temple was built as the state temple for the Khmer Empire at the demand of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaodharapura (, contemporary Angkor), the Khmer Empire's capital. It was constructed in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but by the end of the century, it had been changed to a Buddhist temple. 
  Angkor Wat is a fascinating structure, dating back hundreds of years, and it’s impressive how much of it has remained intact.
