...about the spelling or punctuation. Let God take care of the little details. If we simply talk and act out of love, God is right there and will bring about an amazing good. Alleluia, Alleluia!

different chapters. The plot is the same: we are born, we grow, we live, we love, we journey, and we die. In some way or another we try and make our story more important than the next persons, but in reality we are all equal. If we only shared our chapters more freely with others the book would be an easy and enjoyable read. Alleluia, Alleluia!

No two are the same. Some are filled more with good while others are filled more with bad. But they are ours, and are meant to be shared. We don't have to be theologians or philosophers. We just need to be ourselves - children of God on a journey to life. Alleluia, Alleluia!

If it is truly worth having, then it is truly worth working for! If nothing in life is free, then is life itself free? No, of course not... We are called to participate in God's plan, not sit back and watch. We're not spectators in our lives and the lives of others. That is why Jesus told us we have to pick p our cross and follow him.

We sin and we sin a lot because we inherited it. With God's graces we can change and reduce our sins, but it can't be eliminated completely in this life. God is all loving and merciful; and He calls us to be the same, including to ourselves. Alleluia, Alleluia!

As Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sunday quickly approach, we read Jesus' words explaining very clearly what we are to do, how we are to do it, and what our foundation is. Can we hear it through the rhetoric of this world? And make ourselves heard? Alleluia, Alleluia!

Nobody I know enjoys the constant ups and downs of life. The majority of comments during conversations are negative and cover a broad range of others persons, situations and circumstances. A common factor for almost all is they don't turn to God first and immediately. And that is the answer every time.
