I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold...

that particular perspective.
It takes courage to look into the mirror of our souls, absent excuses.

This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.

to Thee in loving service.

or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

thinking of enslaving the other person.

brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
