What a sad mistake we sometimes make when we think that God only cares about Christians.
03914 – The Happiness of Others
By caring about the happiness of others, we find our own.
03643 – A Day Away
Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence....
