He created all the worlds
With a single gracious breath
A Word dripping with mercy
The Giver of Life!

Manifested everywhere
Greater in His beauty still
The reason I roam speechless
The One who captivates!

A burning thirst embedded
In the depths of every soul
Satisfied with nothing but
The most Perfect One!

The reason I dance in joy
The reason I feel this peace
The reason I love what’s His
My One everything!

Goran Hadzic

A significant war crimes case at the Hague against Goran Hadzic has last week Thursday 3 July reached its defence stage.

In June alone, over 42 million posts were made here on WordPress.  Yet hundreds of you check in here each week, some of you daily, and give me a gift – the gift of your time and attention.  Your time is something you cannot retrieve once it is spent, and for that, I’d honestly and sincerely like to say “Thank you.”  It means more than you can possibly know, because it is the foundation of my dreams that you view each time you visit here.

A few weeks ago I reminded all of…

Depression is common among parents from time to time but should not define your life.

By Jackie Saulmon Ramirez | July 9, 2014

The Parents Anonymous Group I attended was much like any group in society; almost everyone experiences prolonged sadness sometimes and we were no different. Many of us dealt with complicated or stressful situations heaped on top of the difficult role of parent. When one member was suffering, the other members pitched in to help in whatever way we could. In this three-part series on depression and feeling better, the suggestions of members are incorporated into a few that may help others.

For maximum effect, newscasts are repeated throughout the day to magnify unsettling news so turn it off.

Nix the News

The person who creates a good news only channel will probably be penniless. Why? Good news does not sell as well as bad news. Bad news…
