What is the Meaning of Life?

I have been an atheist, a new age spiritualist and a Christian, and I’ve been drawn to different teachings and philosophies from around the world at different times in my life. I spent a good deal of my adult life searching painfully and desperately for truth. My life has taken on a different meaning since I became… Continue reading

May God Grant us Peace!

As I sit alone in my bedroom, I am aware of how quiet this house is at the moment. It’s a five bedroom property, but three tenants have moved out in recent months and have not yet been replaced. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of a near-empty house,… Continue reading
