Witness

"Fill me with an over-flowing ocean of compassion,
the reign of love my motive,
the law of love my rule.

..................

O Give me repentance unto life;
Cement my oneness with my blessed Lord
that faith may adhere to Him more immovable,
that love may entwine itself round Him more tightly,
that his Spirit may pervade every fibre of my being.

Then send me out to make Him known to my fellow-men."

from Valley of Vision "Humility in Service"

I just love God's colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...ad nauseum right up to the present.
Primary and secondary (even tertiary) families do not mix, do they?
They surely make chaos out of already challenging primary families, don't they?
