Abraham Lincoln & Friendship

Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln !

We thank you for many of your ways
and many of your words -- which we
understand today.

"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships."                          -Abraham Lincoln

With the words of Lincoln I am pleased to

wish a good friend and fellow writer a 

      very Happy Birthday today . . .

Orman, when your ship comes in
know that it will sail with a full crew
of those you have helped along the
way. Your wisdom and laughter
are gentle winds that have brought
many writers to the shores of
publication.

                  Onward

February: The Passion of Our Lord

Though Lent does not begin this year
until March 1st our world is being asked
by Pope Francis to consider how we might
serve . . .

Our current Pope is fearless, often
finding the right words, inspired words, for
a particular moment in time. May God
continue to care and watch over this
"man of peace." (Amazing how many
non-Catholics love Pope Francis. He
warms the Chair of St. Peter with Love.)

You can find the Pope daily at:

 Peace.
