  • Reader‘s Comments about Glory Stories
  • I am moved and excited by your marvelous portrayal of the experiences of flying angels, even the angel who did a surprise somersault. Your understanding of people involved from the story of The Bread Lady to the Tower Lady were full of compassion, wisdom, and heartfelt humor. The Maundy Thursday story of Is it I Lord, Is it I? was especially meaningful to me as the word of our Lord on Forgiveness, a constant strugglein our own lives to attain.
