Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person. ln those transparent moments we know other people's joys and sorrows, and we care about their concerns as if they were our own.

How to get to Heaven from where you live.
When we die and go to Heaven, our Maker is not going to say, ''Why didn't you discover the cure for such and such?'' The only thing we're going to be asked at that precious moment is ''Why didn't you become you? ''

... For YOU:
"What if there were no Merry Christmas?"
Dear Gentle Reader,
I have been thinking recently (yes, I do think once in a while, not all the time but just enough, to keep certain people guessing) !
What if all the people who try and remove prayer in school and those who hate the words Merry Christmas, and want to think that we evolved from the slime of the earth and hate Christians, Because "Christians are, as my Grandfather use to say ‘If someone hates you it’s because you’re a reproach to their conscience or a challenge to their ego’"
What iF they had their way?
Well there would be no ACLU to fight for there would be no Christians to stand up and say "Abortion is wrong, or we want prayer in schools, or murder is against the Golden rule... Wait a minute I should start at the beginning shouldn’t I?
Well, if those who want to kick God out of their world. Then there would have been no Israel to rescue from slavery (you know Moses, the Red Sea, forty years would have been taken off the Calender (the wandering in the wilderness). In Fact there would have been no nation of Israel at all! No Nation to save. Rome would have ruled the world (which means you would have had to learn Latin). If the were no Jews then Hitler would have conquered the world and (you would have to learn German) There would have been no Pearl Harbor because America would not exist! No Christmas?
No thanksgiving, (what would we give thanks for ? Slime?) No Toys, No Children (Remember the Pro-choice platform? My body my choice! (Really?)
The winter would be darker, no morality, everybody would live anyway they wanted Murder, crime, violence, hatred, maleficent evil everywhere..... No goodness, no kindness, no compassion no recognition of beauty, no art, no music to stir the soul (Oh, that’s right no soul) just brutish animalistic creatures feeding off the weaker ... until nothing!
Aren’t you glad Gentle reader, that we can celebrate Christmas each year? That Mary wasn’t pro-choice, that there is a God who loves us and that whatever race, color or creed you may be wherever you may live whatever your situation. There is a still small voice that speaks so loud that no matter who ever they are that can scream at the top of the lungs "Be Bright"!
But I hear the Almighty Creator of the universe whispering gently "I love you".
And you know what Gentle Reader, I love you too!
Denis
