Pollyanna

Do you murder the good in your life? I tend to go through my world expecting things to turn out right. I expect the sun to shine on party days. I expect the service people in the shop to want to help me. I expect the flowers to be blooming enthusiastically. I expect you to find something to take away and think about each time I write.

I received the Holy Spirit when I was 10 years old and I speak three angelic languages purportedly associated with that experience.

The Christian teachings were… Continue
