Wishing you all a heavenly day

I read this story last night and wanted to share it with you.  Even though I believe that heaven and hell are simply states of mind that we live in now, brought on by our thoughts (not places that we will go after we are no longer in physical form), I still loved this story.…

I surrender

Years ago, when I entered a 12-step program, I remember seeing a banner that read, "Let Go and Let God". It was hanging on the wall behind the speaker, and I had no idea what it meant, but thought, "What a lame philosophy! How could anything get done if we don't do it ourselves?" It…
