There Are No Words

It doesn’t take long to find suffering in this world.  Sudden loss can be catastrophic to an individual or family.  It’s at such a time you realize there really are no words that can express your sorrow for your friends/family/fellow man. Within the last year I’ve had...

Honoring a Mother

My earthly mother passed away over 20 years ago.  I have no doubt she is in Heaven and I will see her again.  Although I know in my head she is in glory, my heart still misses her.  No matter how old the child, when your mother leaves this world and you have no one to...
