A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. – Jesus Christ Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. – Lao Tzu Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life. – Leo Buscaglia Hatred does not […]
Thanksgiving, as the name implies, is a time to express gratitude but the problem is that we are not always feeling it! There is nothing more grating on the spirit than feeling slightly or even very resentful when your conscience and everyone around you is screaming for you to be grateful in all things. I […]
For decades everyone was concerned with their IQ as a measure of potential success and more recently their EQ or Emotional Quotient.

We all love to hear stories about the power of God. They are compelling and exciting: they make having faith seem worthwhile rather than burdensome. The trouble with faith is that much of the time it can feel like a burden. You have to psyche yourself up to believe. It all seems a little otherworldly […]
To lose everything is a frightening prospect. It’s something we naturally dread. You hear people of faith say in moments of difficulty “I’m thanking God for this.” A part of me asks, “Is that for real?” It seems kind of crazy. It doesn’t make sense. How can you maintain an attitude of gratitude in the […]
