Hello Pi Phis,

Is it just me feeling this way or does time seem to fly by too quickly?! Life is interesting. There are periods where itchallenges us with obstacles and unexpected happenings; and there are other occasions where it delights us withmany beautiful and meaningful moments that we can cherish for a lifetime. A dear friend emailed me this messagetitled Gods Whispers. Everyones religious beliefs are special to them in their own ways; therefore, I ask that youlook at the overall point of the message. This message certainly put how we perceive life into perspective and it is anice reminder of how we should take time to enjoy the little things that life brings us - family and friends included. Imgrateful to have you present in my lifes journey, and thank you for this wonderful experience, Pi Phis.

Gods Whispers: The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadow lark sang. But, the man did not hear. Sothe man yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen. The manlooked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see. And, the manshouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born. But, the man did not notice. So, the man cried out in

despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But,the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around usin the little and simple things that we take for granted...even in our electronic age. So I would like to add one more,The man cried, "God, I need your help!" An e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement. But, theman deleted it and continued crying. Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
