kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth
Reflecting on life, faith, and the prayers we pray in the Church of England
A couple of week’s ago, I posted something from Fr. Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations that had really struck a chord with me. Today, I want to post another one. This actually dropped into my inbox on Saturday.
I’ve been having a tough time of things with my health recently, as many regular readers of the [...]

Where do the beliefs you hold about yourself originate from? In the post I put on here from Lou Tice at the Winners Circle last week, Lou talked a little about where the negative beliefs we hold about ourselves may have come from. In this week’s he expands on that, and gives us some great [...]

How do you deal with temptation? Do you yield to it, or resist it? We’re all tempted at sometime or other, even Jesus was. Here’s a thought-provoking little story about one salesman’s failure to resist a temptation set before him. Would you fare better in this test? I’d like to think I would, but can’t [...]
We have a saying here, “What goes around, comes around”. I expect most parts of the world have something like it. This inspirational and heart-warming story illustrates just what it means very well. I expect it’s fictional; but would like to think the idea, at least, is based on actual events.
