St. Valentine’s Day is a mere week away. The history of this holiday is debated a bit, but it all boils down to St. Valentine, who was martyred for love. One legend speaks that he wrote the very first valentine to his jailer’s daughter and signed it,...
Tonight, as prayer service at my church was about to end, I looked up at the candle in the middle of our small circle of prayer. That candle represents me.The candle is beautiful; it is white–apparently left from a wedding the church had some time...
