My child, When he walked on the earth, my son suffered temptation. He was perfect in every way. His spirit was absolutely in tune with mine and with my will. When temptation came his way, he did not give in. However, he did suffer when experiencing temptation. You see, he was so perfect and so […]
As I write this, the snow is falling gently. Work is cancelled, the house is warm and I have no need to go out. There are no big decisions to be made today, no pressing business, either personal or work related. Perhaps this is a rare day, but a wonderful one nonetheless, when I do not […]
My son, Will you serve me when there is no fanfare? Will you serve me when you are passed over and others you deem less qualified are chosen and you are left behind? Will you serve me where there are no normal comforts you are so accustomed to enjoying? Will you still do good works […]
