If I Only Had a Heart
Most of us remember the story of “The Wizard of Oz.”
Dorothy needed a home. The Scarecrow wanted a brain. The Cowardly Lion wanted courage. And the Tin Man wanted a heart…
A Mother’s Love
There are certain sounds that stay with us all our lives. The soft voice of a mother singing beside a bed. The creak of a rocking chair in the quiet of the evening. The whisper of bedtime prayers. The sound of footsteps coming quickly when a child cries in the night.
The Sound of Silence: Silencing the Holy Ghost
