If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. ~ Mother Teresa

Careful intention is a winning world of hosts.  It encapsulates our inner views and wonders about ourselves and where we are headed.  Preparations are a critical factor in this life mission of most high consequences and should not be entered into an agreement with lightheartedness.  If you’ve ever wondered about your sanctity, it would behoove […]

I heard a wonderful sermon today discussing one of our most common weaknesses as human beings. The explanation was that we believe that we can find peace by controlling our circumstances. Meaning, we think that if we change our circumstances that are not so good in our lives, we will find peace. “How interesting,” I […]

Today we celebrate the greatest event in human history. It has become the most significant day in my life.
