Long Lost Brother. Top Story - August 2024.
When I was told my brother was still alive, I didn't believe it. It had taken me twenty years to get over him being gone; I had very mixed feelings about seeing him again. Excitement? Yes. Anticipation? Yes. But something new that I had never felt before: fear.

216 The Loving Road Toward Eternal Reward
It's funny how we all relate to life conceptually. To some, life's cheap; to others, priceless. I suppose it has to do with which type of life one lives.

One way we should be able to do World Peace could be to once again take part could be "Hands Around the World". How should we do such a project? We could ask questions, or we could just move along as we have been. World peace a concept that should be easy but not.
