We’ve all heard the phrase, “You can’t take it with you.” That usually refers to not being able to take any of the material possessions we’ve acquired in life with us when we head off into the next world. Since the world’s religions mostly agree the soul does have an eternal journey ahead of it when it leaves this earth, it seems fair to ask: is there anything that the soul can take with it? Here are some possibilities to... Read more
I knew that from somewhere deep in my belly there was a glowing cord tying me to Cathy, a cord that could not be destroyed by death because it was eternal. Read more
“You wouldn’t disown me or anything if I joined a fraternity, right?” my son, a college sophomore, called to ask. “I wouldn’t disown you, but I sure would wonder how that came to seem like a good idea.” “Okay, cool. Here’s what’s going on ……” My kind, feminist, pacifist son is considering joining a fraternity. The miracle here is that he wanted to talk to me about it.

The excerpts below are taken from Jane Via’s, Janice Sevre-Duszynska’s and Roy Bourgeois’ account of what occurred on Holy Thursday: Holy Thursday Vatican Embassy Witness:... Read more
These are not recently deceased relatives, nor are they disembodied and troubled souls. Tingling through me like raindrops on dry soil, they carry the warm heft of angels and the fragrance of pure love. Read more
