SAYINGS
The following are Sayings and Stories that I've been saving, some to give an uplift and some on more of religious note. Perhaps one of them will have a special meaning for you today. As some of the Stories are rather long, I have broken them down into two parts, Sayings are some what short and Stories are longer.
New items are added at the end for your convenience.
I hope you enjoy some of these and will visit again soon.
