Life is a gift...and my being is not chance. It is so important that I do all...but faith tells me that in this life, it will not be accomplished, but by believing and knowing the truth of life, all will be done. Why am I so afraid?

The end of life, and the continuity of it...the assurance of meaning and purpose accomplished, if only because I yearn for it.</div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
