Every day, I give thanks to have been born in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Our country is one of the most beautiful on Earth, with terrain ranging from blazing hot deserts, to grassy prairies, to high snow-capped mountains, to chains of beautiful blue lakes. The American people are the most generous in …
I was finding this topic pretty difficult-how do you picture Time? The original description over at The Daily Post cited Matt Haig's "Reasons To Stay Alive", and he states that a way to stop time is "Read". Aha! On my trip to University of Cambridge, we went to the Library at Gonville & Caius College, …

This is the sanctuary at St. Joseph's Polish Catholic Church in Camden, New Jersey, during their 120th Anniversary celebration in 2012. The priest is Polish, and there is a Polish-language Mass daily. My husband grew up not far from here, and went to this church, and graduated from the parochial high school here (now defunct). …
