“Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.” MenHeartKidsFatherGamesLostParentTeacherPlayerInfluenceTeachingTaughtNeededMy HeartBasketballBiggerImpactIncrediblesCoachesGreat MenMentorStaffAlways There For MeUnc Author:Michael Jordan
“I loved my father, but I was not like him. I never needed to believe the best of people. I took them as they were: two-faced, desperate, kind - perhaps all at once. But to Pa, they were all children of god, poor troubled sheep, who only needed love and an even break. He needed the world to back up what his religion told him about people. And when it came down to a choice between reason and faith, he let go of reason.” PeopleWorldBelieveKindChildrenTwoReasonChoicesFatherPoorBreakNeededLetting GoDesperateSheepChild Of GodNeeded Love Book:Far North Source: Far North
“Does religion fill a much needed gap? It is often said that there is a God-shaped gap in the brain which needs to be filled: we have a psychological need for God -- imaginary friend, father, big brother, confessor, confidant -- and the need has to be satisfied whether God really exists or not. But could it be that God clutters up a gap that we'd be better off filling with something else? Science, perhaps? Art? Human friendship? Humanism? Love of this life in the real world, giving no credence to other lives beyond the grave?” WorldNeedsGivingHumansDoeArtSaidRealBigsReligionFatherBrainBrotherNeededFilledHumanismGravesSatisfiedPsychologicalThis LifeGapsReal WorldImaginaryBetter OffFillingClutterCredenceImaginary FriendConfidantPsychological Needs Author:Richard Dawkins

“Prayer is a supernal gift of our Father in Heaven to every soul. Think of it: the absolute Supreme Being, the most all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful personage, encourages you and me, as insignificant as we are, to converse with Him as our Father. Our supplication can be brief or can occupy all the time needed. It can be an extended expression of love and gratitude or an urgent plea for help. He has created numberless cosmos and populated them with worlds, yet you and I can talk with Him personally, and He will ever answer.” ThinkingWorldI CanSoulHelpingFatherHeavenPrayerAnswersPowerfulKnowingSeeingExpressionNeededGratitudeAbsolutesSupremeCosmosInsignificantUrgentOur FatherConversesSupreme BeingFather In HeavenLove And GratitudeSupplicationExpressions Of Love Author:Richard G.
