Christian Science Monitor Daily Article

The Christian Science Monitor is not a religious periodical, it's a "normal" newspaper published by a church. On request of its founder, however, one religious article is published in the paper every day. I've known this for a long time but, strangely, never bothered to read such a daily article. Today I stumbled on the 30 November article - pretty good stuff! Definitely worth reading on a (semi-)regular basis, and worth circulating among friends.
