I once heard a saying: “There are more people who have heard of a Bible than have one. There are more people who have a Bible than read it. There are more people who read their Bible than understand it. And there are more people who read it than actually live it.”
We take it for granted that we have easy access to a Bible...

You probably want to fly away for a vacation soon. When you book a flight, a few inches of extra comfort could cost you thousands of extra dollars. We desire more and more comfort that of course comes at a very high cost...

Wouldn’t you love to be a Saint?
We sometimes say: “This person is a saint” or when someone passes away: “That person was a saint.”
The word saint comes from the Latin word Sanctus, which means holy.
Today is the Sunday of all the Saints, that is all the Holy Ones and all that is Holy.
But what does this word mean?

On August 22, 1485, King Richard III died in the Battle of Bosworth Field. This was one of the most important battles in British history as it marked the end of the dynasty of the House of York and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. King Richard III lost the York dynasty when he lost his life, he lost his life when he lost the battle, and he lost the battle when he lost his horse. In William Shakespeare’s play “Richard III” King Richard shouts as he is dying “A Horse! A Horse! My Kingdom for a Horse!” (Act V, Scene 4).
 
 People also remember this battle with another verse: “Because of the nail the shoe was lost, because of the shoe the horse was lost, because of the horse the battle was lost, because of the battle the kingdom was lost; all was lost because of one horseshoe nail”...
