“INSIDE EWTN” PRAYER:Dear God, help me to find your purpose for my life today just by being awake and aware of the people and events you place in my life. Help me to be aware of the needs of others in my life.
Repentance is turning from sin and back to obedience toward God. As such, anyone and everyone can and should repent. Repentance is for all people! Every single man, woman, and child has areas of disobedience in their life which they can repent of, that is, turn away from and turn back ...
As I prepare to defend my dissertation proposal and confront the rigors of the final milestone of my PhD, it seems fitting that I should once again post this passage by Mary Shelley, born on this day in 1797. I cannot describe to you my sensations on the near prospect of my undertaking...
Not every bird is an eagle, and if you’re a crow, it’s foolhardiness or hubris even to aspire to eagleship (crows are clever enough to have figured this out). If you’re a lark, you should sing. If you’re a goldfinch, you should shine. If you’re a sparrow, you should ...
