And Now
These Three Remain
Faith, Hope, and Love.
But The Greatest
Of These Is Love
– 1 Corinthians 13:13
Whenever I say to someone I know that happiness is a choice, I usually get a little rolling of the eyes. You see, sometimes people just don’t want to be happy. Sometimes, they would rather feel angry, sad, or some other emotion other than happiness.
When you lose someone you love, of course the […]
I’m a bit light on my feet today because later tonight, the seasons will change and Spring will officially be here. Winter is gone and the warmer weather is just around the corner.
If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then I guess this is why we enjoy the start of a new season. […]

I don’t know if 14 things is all that Dave Barry actually learned in his 50 years, but I think in life, we pick up little lessons here and there. It’s interesting how comedic these lessons are, but you think deep, and it turns out to be true.

I thought I would greet everyone after Valentine’s Day. I sincerely hope that all of you out there had as wonderful a Valentine’s Day as I did. I managed to go out to dinner with a few friends, and you couldn’t imagine the number of roses and other flowers that each lady had […]

Found this in my earlier blogs, and I thought this was perfect for the previous post on waiting on the world to change. Though this actual quotation is on a different note, instead of waiting, sometimes we rush, and in our rush, we fail to see the beauty of life. We fail to […]

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
“Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom […]
