I can’t believe “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is over. I picked up an interest in the romantics about this time last year, and toward the beginning of this one started reading Lady C a few pages at a time as my computer boots up. I walked out to the...

I’ve just returned from Miracles in the Mountains where I got The Elvis Cup. Miracles in the Mountains was a conference that took place in Cañon City, Colorado. It was beautiful, lovely, convened with precision by Kathy Scott Perry and graced by the presence of one...

Yesterday, I received one of those forwarded emails that we have all come to know and dread. Some I quickly delete without thought. It would be interesting to know the criteria by which each of us do that. Mine is if it sounds “cute.” Anyway, this one was about...

I saw this in my reading the other day and thought to post it with no commentary. It really moved me. (It is slightly edited.) 8.1 What you give you will receive in truth. What you do not receive is a measure of what you withhold. Your heart is...
