Our Last Breaths

Today could be our last day here. Probably not, we all think, but 150,000 of us will no longer be here tomorrow. And another 150,000 will call tomorrow their last day on earth.

Smiling From The Heart

I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it's impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren't feeling twinkly yourself. A mouth-smile is different.

So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same. It's sure to be a phony.

The suffering in this world is not the failure of God's love for us; it is that love in action. Read more

Hate

If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate.
