For Such a Time as This - March 12, 2017

Happiness comes when we understand our good is tied with and to the good of others, when we understand ourselves as part of a larger whole. Happiness is based in the faith that the power of love and life, what I call God, flows within and among us and our world even when sometimes we can’t see it. " ... Read More
