A Chance Encounter

Thursday, December 18th, 2008
!--paging_filter--pI was driving across the barren plains of west Texas, growing tired as the sun set behind shadowed buttes and flat cattle land. /p p Stopping at a roadside cafe for a cup of coffee, I settled into a corner booth and glanced at the newspaper headlines. It was Veterans Day, I realized with surprise.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;/p pLooking up, I saw an elderly couple sitting quietly at a table in front of me. The man wore a faded jean jacket and a blue baseball cap with gold letters that read, WORLD WAR II VETERAN.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;/p pa href=http://www.guideposts.com/story/veterans-day-thanksread more/a/p

The Power of Kindness

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

!–paging_filter–pI am an author and a speaker, a minister of a dynamic congregation in New York City./p
pIn other words, my life revolves around people, and people are very interesting creatures. They can be friendly or standoffish, impatient, angry, generous, compassionate, funny. Yet each and every one of us has at our disposal one of the greatest powers on earthmdash;kindness./p
pYears ago I holed up for 10 days at an inn in the Shenandoah Valley to do some writing. I was glad to be away from the phone, the long meetings, the countless appointments. Nothing to do but finish my book./p

Hooked

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

!–paging_filter–pWhen you’re 94 years old and living in a retirement home where everything is done for you, there is a lot of time for you to wonder what you’re going to do with all that time. One thing I do is read GUIDEPOSTS. And it usually gets me thinking about all the miracles I’ve seen in my life, the little ones as well as the big. So here’s one that happened to me a few years back, and it taught me never to be afraid to ask God for what we need./p
