There are times I find myself looking for something that had eluded me. In childhood, one of my favorite Saturday morning shows was “The Land of the Lost.” In the story line, humans fell through a crack in space and time to the period and place where they had to exist with dinosaurs. I am […]
That’s a line from a comedy skit I heard so many times, I can still sing it by heart from the long-running TV show – “Hee Haw.” “Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I’d found true love. You met another and th… you were gone.” February […]
Whenever I find myself facing an uncertain future, whether it’s in work or my personal life, ultimately, I always find myself praying for Divine intervention. I ask for guidance. I ask for forgiveness. I ask for patience. I ask for inspiration. It always seems I am asking Him for something. But seldom am I thanking […]
