I made it the rhythm of my 'walk'..." January 2013 was teeming with promises... We set up early morning meetings, worked out on invitations for article submissions, redesigned our website, prepared our financial statements...  Our mind is set on being indexed this year (do pray with us)...  26th of January, one of my Saturdates received the Sacrament of Baptism together with her baby brother... "I must receive this magic of the passing moment as grace..." ~ Henri Boulad, Ch.2 The Depth of the Present. All is Grace: God and the Mystery of Time. (NY:Crossroad Publishing Company), p. 19.

I have romanticized love relationships ... based on what I've watched... ...what I felt... ...
