Featured Comment by Margot E. ::: “Listening to the song “Defying Gravity” I begin to think that accepting my Higher Power is very like flying. Sometimes I make the mistake of trying to explain that which is inexplicable – the infinity which is, by definition, that which cannot be comprehended.

My faith says I will be guided – not always given the results I expect. I am guaranteed lessons in this life and unconditional love.”
