We hear these stories from time to time about radical transformations that take place in people’s lives because they had an experience with God. We’re not too sure of what to make of these experiences at first glance. Sadly we often secretly wait for these who claim they have had such an experience to return…
I remember in the 80’s when something went terribly wrong in a person’s life they would often use the expression, “It’s the pits.” I’m sure at one time or another we’ve all felt like we’ve been thrown into a pit, I know I have. It happens everyday to thousands of people from every walk of…
One can make the case that we are never as close to our Creator than in the first moments of conception when in the stillness and darkness of our mother’s womb God breathes life into our yet to be formed lungs. I’ve often thought, being so close to God, what message would this new life…
