Peace Begins with You and Me
What a tumultuous world we live in. No one can dispute the fact that our world is in turmoil.

Happy Anniversary Rosary-Prayer-by-Prayer
The birth of a book is like that of a child to an author. My little books take years of research and writing to compile, and often, more years through the publishing process.
