one of my favorite authors

Have you ever read anything from Henri Nouwen? If not, be sure to check out his books on Amazon...or go to your local church/public library. You can't go wrong with any of his writing.

"It is sad to see that, in our highly competitive and greedy world, we have lost touch with the joy of giving. We often live as if our happiness depended on having. But I don't know anyone who is really happy because of what he or she has. True joy, happiness, and inner peace come from the giving of ourselves to others. A happy life is a life for others." - Henri Nouwen Life of the Beloved.
