I Must, I Must…Believe

Day 241 “No one particular religion has been able to secure the exclusive rights for the power of prayer.

You will get it if you combine desire with faith. TheContinueContinue reading “What Do You Want?”

Expect Good Things

Day 235 “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” – Abraham Lincoln Writing about the Olympic Creed reminded me of something I read long ago – an optimist’s creed. Optimism is about expectation.
