The Realm of Love

I read of a Saintly man who reported: “When I took the [...]

Be like the night in covering the faults of others.
Be like the dead in anger and nervousness.
Be [...]

Congratulations to the People of the Gaza Strip

  I wonder what’s God’s going to do to the perpetrators of the horrific events happening every day in the Gaza Strip Concentration Camp. No, on second thought, I don’t want to think of an eternity in The Fire.  Instead I’d rather place my mind in the glorious eternal home of those innocent men, woman [...]
