An Elephant Never Forgets

Gosh! What Reason Or Season?

As we celebrate Christmas today, clearly the reason for the season is lost, in the frenzy of gift buying, turkey and over indulgence. Yet there is a deeper meaning, that is life changing and an eternal promise, money cannot buy. Continue reading

Memories, Moments

It all seems like a film, a replay of an old flickering reel that someone is winding in a dark room. Its you, it happened but somehow its intangible, surreal……It all happened, eternity never takes that away,…….. Continue reading

Hell In Paradise

I remember though, in the midst of this HELL, laughter as I peer through the window from the comfort of a chauffeured car. Teasing, pleasantries, animated chatter, the play of children and camaraderie Continue reading
