On a recent trip to London I had the experience of visiting the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall. It is the largest Sikh temple outside of India. It is a massive structure to say the least! According to the brochure I collected at the temple, “Sikhism is a progressive, monotheistic religion founded by Guru [...]
Well, it has happened yet again. This time Cleveland, OH is the scene of more school violence. It seems we only go weeks as opposed to years in between incidents. The once unspeakable is now the new norm. Quite honestly I do not know of anyone who likes this sort of thing going on at [...]
I have learned over the years that one sure way to see what is in a person’s heart is to observe the type bumper stickers they have on their automobiles.

The word commitment is not an unusual word to our vocabulary. Most people have a fairly solid understanding of what it means. It is used in the context of many different things from marriage, to jobs, to paying our bills. It is what keeps a spouse from packing a bag and leaving after a fight. [...]
