Workroom of God

A newly arrived soul in Heaven was met by St. Peter. The saint toured the soul around Heaven. Both of them walked side by side inside a large workroom filled with angels. St. Peter stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the Receiving Section. Here, all the petitions to God said in prayer are received.” The soul looked at the section, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets from all the people of the world. They walked again until they reached the 2nd section, and St....

Please Revive Us

He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, ‘One for you,...

No Hopeless Situations

Some 40 years ago, when he was only 11 years old, Morgan Rowe lost his left arm and much of the use of his right arm. It happened when he fell off a tractor at his father’s fence company in Valdosta, Georgia, and was dragged beneath the machine. Morgan’s left arm was destroyed and his right, mangled. Young Morgan was released from the hospital after three-and-a-half months. The first thing he set out to do was to help pay the bills — $30,000 worth. That was a lot of money back then as it is now. For a boy of...
