Here is my story it is completely true, yet when I tell the story to my family or other people they look at me as if I'm crazy. I was at a real low time in my life. I had tried to commit suicide. 2 days later I was asleep at home, when in my dreams a voice came to me and called me by my name. I don't remember being able to see the person the voice was coming from, but in my heart I knew it was Jesus. He told me that I still had things to do. To be strong. And then he kissed my forhead and the most beautiful light engulfed me. During this I fell so much love. It was so pure and enlightening. But I tell you everytime I see a beautiful sunset it reminds me of that light that surrrounded me, not as brilliant but close. 4 years after this I received custody of my grandson and a year later

A movie with no conventional plot: merely a collection of expertly photographed scenes. Subject matter has a highly environmental theme. Without words, cameras show us the world, with an emphasis not on "where," but on "what's there." It begins with morning, natural landscapes and people at prayer: volcanoes, water falls, veldts, and forests; several hundred monks do a monkey chant. Indigenous peoples apply body paint; whole villages dance. The film moves to destruction of nature via logging, blasting, and strip mining. Images of poverty, rapid urban life, and factories give way to war, concentration camps, and mass graves. Ancient ruins come into view, and then a sacred river where pilgrims bathe and funeral pyres burn. Prayer and nature return. A monk rings a huge bell; stars wheel acros

  Another World    By Hank EdsonIf from birth to hear music, one were transported: Another world; if from life, from the conception One were surrounded in melody As the only expression; If music hung in the air, like notes of oxygen, Their breath to mean survival? If until death even in your soul you could never Speak no, read no, hear no evil But only paint only one image, One thousand words for all; If your humanity sat perched upon an easel, You would inspire. If in time your dance should lose its sense of balance, Effortlessly you may float in the magnitudes higher Over life, through the heavens Of creation's desire; If you unburden your thoughts of time's tightwire: Oh, Angelic Vision!

What Happened to Family Time?We have become so focused on having our kids participate in sports that we have lost sight of what's important. By Frank P. Cotter The other day I saw a father, mother and two sons on the line in front of me at Dunkin Donuts. It was obvious that they had just come from a soccer game. The two young boys were dressed in thin shorts and tee shirts, while their parents were dressed warmly in jeans and thick jackets. The two boys never stopped shivering the entire five minutes we were in line together.What is going on in society when we are making our kids play sports, in every kind of foul weather, including rain, snow and icy winds just for the pleasure of watching them participate in some kind of sport? It seems that we are living vicariously through our kids
