I’d like to look into your eyes and tell you that this nightmare will vanish in the morning or take you on an ocean cruise……in hopes that cancer couldn’t follow If I could, I would take you to the happy, carefree places of your youth…. to the hideouts where sunshine and laughter ruled the day […]

Sixty half awake parishoners were seated as the priest began his brief homily at the 6:30 Mass ‘Be attuned to the still small voice…..your guardian angel feels neglected and wants to stay in touch.’ May today be a day where you quiet yourself long enough to listen for that still small voice. […]

The boy continued to listen to his heart as they crossed the desert. He came to understand its dodges and tricks, and accept it as it was. He lost his fear, and forgot about his need to go back to the oasis, because, one afternoon, his heart told him that it was happy. “Even though […]
