    Would you be interested as yo having a contributor to your blog? I have blogged since 2017 but stopped a year ago. My subject matter was Christianity with an emphasis on Catholicism. What I have been doing now is studying Thomas Kempis, "Imitation of Christ" which has helped me tremendously. If interested direct message me on Twitter: @KempisStudent.

  (Yuck. Look at that picture. If I wore that I'd have to kick my own butt!)  Okay, let's get serious. "HE WHO follows Me, walks not in darkness," says the Lord (John 8:12). Imitation of Christ  is a book, composed of 4 books. Book 1 is titled,  THOUGHTS HELPFUL IN THE LIFE OF THE SOUL.

A nuclear family who know how to take care of each other. The husband, Amitesh and his wife work, while the grandparents stay home and the kids go to school.  in 2021 when my uncle Frank died these neighbors brought cases of water, and food to my aunts house on a couple occasions. And they never stopped saying "is there anything we can do for you?" Maybe it was because my aunt always made sure to give them some of the bread that we made every year for Saint Joseph's day, or her Italian cookies that everyone loved. But I think it is also that they are caring and neighborly people.  When my aunt was getting sicker this family never hesitated to ask about ...
