Personal Notes: I’m grateful to live in peace. I think it’s our duty and opportunity to reach out to those in need. We ought not idle away our time in selfishness, while thousands of our spiritual brothers and sisters struggle physically and spiritually. We can make a difference by wearing out our lives to benefit those around us.
