PEOPLE AND CRAYONS
We are people of different colors, but all the same, because, if you sliced your finger, you will get red blood. It is the same red blood Jesus Christ shed for all. So too, like the crayons in the box, different colors, but all the same, because, the substance of wax is in each one. People and crayons, different colors, but each was created to contribute, to perform a task set forth by it’s designer. A crayon used wisely, draws colorful pictures. A person using his life wisely, obeys the Commandments. People and crayons. Each life span will end. The crayon will be discarded. The soul of a person, lives forever.

About the Author
Inspirational writings. Open your eyes and see things. Open your heart and feel things. Answering the call.
The Lord calls and waits for the inner-spirit of oneself to respond. It is I, who heard this call through a near-death experience. A journey which has taken me to the light, the way, and the truth—a journey of faith, of the Cross. With the guidance from my spiritual director, and also a small wooden cross I had in my pocket I gave to another person as a compassionate gesture in petition, opens the door to spiritual gifts, and spiritual writing—encounters of spiritual inspirations, reflections and experiences that touch the heart and soul. I have recorded and documented the on-going events in my life as they happened. I have put forth my complete trust in the Lord, and have written the words that come into my heart and soul. These thoughts and actions are not of myself, but inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I have shared my writings with others across the world touching hearts and souls in response to my calling, to glorify the work of the Lord.
My wife and I reside in Connecticut and have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

ISAIAH 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying:
“Whom shall I send? Who will be my
messenger?”
I answered, “Here I am, send me.”
