My grandmother’s grave sits atop a very steep hill. As we helped my 83 year old grandfather up the hill with his can, some people said it wasn’t a very good idea. I was the only one who heard him say he would crawl to her grave if he had to. His love gives me hope :)

I’m not sure why it’s considered as “Feminine” or “weak” for a lot of guys to express themselves passionately. I mean, our passion is the only truth we have. What is it like to lie to yourself all the time?

Last month, we visited my grandmother. She has a strange case of Alzheimer’s. When she denied being married, my grandfather looked up. We could tell this killed him inside. Instead of getting angry, he stood up, walked over to her bed and asked her out again. His love for her GMH.

I saw an old Catholic priest being helped up the church steps by a young man. At the top he turned to the young man and said “God bless you.” The young man smiled nervously and said “I’m Muslim.” The priest smiled back and said “Allah bless you then.” Their religious tolerance GMH.

Does God exist? (you have to read this!)
-------
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.
Barber: I don't believe that God exists.
Customer: Why do you say that?
Barber: Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.
-------
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.
Customer: You know what? Barbers don't exist.
Barber: How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!
Customer: No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.
Barber: Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.
Customer: Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.
