Come One. Come All.
Come one. Come all. I saw the Mother Teresa movie a few nights ago. It made me even more inspired about the work this wonderful saint did. She was relentless in caring for the poor. She went “against the grain” when it came to pleasing the status quo, and those who represented the status quo.…
The Last Word….And Many More
Are you one of those who has to have the last word? If so, then you, at the conclusion of singing “Happy Birthday” to someone, added the big finish….”and many more!!” I’ve come to find those words reassuring, so I always sing “and many more” under my breath in hopes that my quiet wish might…

It May Not Be Easy…But It Will Be Worth It!
