mittens

"Revelation is hot stuff! Like a pot of boiling water on a stove, it can burn you if you mishandle it. Always put on your "mittens" of wisdom before trying to carry your cargo of revelation to its place of usefulness and purpose. Otherwise, it might spill on you!"

peace work

"It is essential to know that to be a happy person, a happy family, a happy society, it is very crucial to have a good heart. World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the absence of violence, but the manifestation of human compassion."
~Dalai Lama

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."
~Mother Theresa

"If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work."
~Thich Nhat Hanh




grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
