For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.
When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to my ...

Trying to fit God into the world paradigm is virtually impossible. And that is where we as fellow earthlings struggle. Fitting a perfect God into a suffering world, I mean how can a loving God allow this suffering to continue. Some might be bound, some might be experiencing severe spiritual torment.

It is rated that 1 out of 4 people suffer from some psychiatric disorder. Torm ...

In the major centres such as Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban 60% of the crime is alcohol an ...

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the
way you are.” (Author unknown)
I rang the bell, feeling rather nervous, wondering how it would be; it’s been too long since our last
conversation, too long since we last shared a few laughs over coffee.  I don’t know why I stayed away for
so lo ...

In the Summer of 1994, I married my boyfriend after courting for two
years . For the next 13 years, my life progressively became a living hell. I was emotionally, physically, and verbally abused. I became lonely, depressed, and misunderstood.Everyone thought we were the perfect couple. On the inside however, I was an emotional wreck. For some insane reason, unknown to me, I continued to l ...

Sandra felt as low as the heels of her crocks when she pulled open the florist shop door, against a November gust of wind. Her life had been as sweet as a spring breeze and then, in the fourth month of her second pregnancy, a "minor" automobile accident stole her joy. This was Thanksgiving week and the time she should have delivered their infant son. She grieved over their loss. Troubles h ...

Dearly beloved, I thought I should write on this matter, sincerely since many people are ignorant of God’s ways.
