This book is my three-year journal of Christian experience of the ups and downs of life. I hope you can relate. What is contained here was first written as blogs on my website, then, in a few cases, as short homilies for small groups. The short messages were written to inspire thought for everyday living. Each installment was written to be shared. Each is about encounters with God’s word and his people. A few friends suggested I gather them together as a book, so here goes. I hope you find it interesting and light for your faith journey. Peace, Bill+
