  • The Nun Who Kissed Elvis

    All my coworkers know I’m an Elvis fan, so one of them left a neat newspaper article on my desk this morning. It’s about a 73-year-old Benedictine nun who plans to attend the Academy Awards ceremony this weekend. Not only that—she’s been to the Oscars before, in 1959, when she was the young starlet who gave Elvis Presley his first kiss onscreen! Imagine!

  • Inspiration from "Little Angels"

    I got a sneak preview at the Guideposts March cover story by Roma Downey. Years of watching her play an angel named Monica on Touched by an Angel forever put Roma’s voice—and beautiful Irish accent—in my head.

    As I read her story, I heard her telling it to me herself. Turns out, she’s as good a storyteller as she is an actress, and angels remain close to her heart even if she’s no longer playing one on TV.

  • An Unexpected Earth Angel

    It’s early in the day, but I’ve already had an encounter with an earth angel!
