  Friday Tale - The Weight of Prayer   L ouise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.           John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store.

Friday Tale: Into Your Dreams S ome stepping stones to dreams are small, Others are large and slick. Some have rough and ragged edges, For your weary feet to grip. S ome are spaced so far apart Your legs will hardly reach. Others nest atop each other, Like pebbles on a beach. F or some you'll need to leap with faith, On others, move with balance.
