I have found a cure for all that ails our hearts. It’s called living with a broken heart. Give me a minute of your time -- it gets better. The History of Your Broken Heart Anyone who is living wisely will have their heart broken -- regularly, routinely, effectively....
(audio file below) The world is very dark where I live this time of year. By 4:30, it’s nighttime. The sun doesn’t begin yawning its way up until close to 8:30 the next morning. It’s disconcerting to live this way all winter -- It’s a sudden blanket thrown on the day...
