Are We Our Brother's Keeper
Since the first Cain slew his brother, so many “Cains” have risen up to spill so much blood. The earth is awash in the blood of millions murdered because of hate, anger, greed, jealousy, revenge, and the desire to take what belongs to others. It cries out to God from the grounds of all nations. It flows from unjust wars, from fights in our streets, from evil people who get a thrill from their kill, from the abusive husband, from the vengeful wife, from parents who snuff out the lives of their children, from violent children who murder their families, from out-of-control bullies who bash the weak to death, from brothers and sisters who hate instead of love one another. –Read All

Love Is Compassion In Action
We must wonder: Why all the hate? Where has love and compassion gone?
Those who practice hate through bullying, belittling, insulting; those who teach hate, revel in hate, must also answer to God. Those who applaud, stand beside the bullies and the abusers will also answer to God. For we are not born to hate. We are taught to hate. – Read All
Thoughts About Love
In our lifetimes we come to know self-love, family love, friendship love, romantic love, husband-wife love, love for the children born of that love. Hopefully, we come to know God’s love, come to know neighborly love.
Hopefully, we come to know that love just grows and grows and grows. There is more than enough for all.
Hopefully, we choose to live by The Golden Rule that we respect others as we wish to be respected. —Read All
