Reflections

We love stories! They can teach us, convey a message, inspire, and motivate.

They are among the oldest forms of human communication and for centuries the only form of communication that passed wisdom from generation to generation, including Sacred Scriptures. The stories collected here are from multiple sources and adapted so they are not too long for your busy schedule. We hope you enjoy and benefit from them - finding meaning that applies to your life.
