A natural pearl begins its life inside an oyster's shell when an “intruder”; such as a grain of sand or bit of floating food, slips in between one of the two shells of the oyster. This food or grain of sand often irritates the skin and interiors of the oyster. To protect itself from further … Continue reading Pearls

The Love Way
“So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, and quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love.
