Why not Make the Trip Worthwhile provides both humorous and serious "snapshots" of a typical journey through life, given its ups and downs. These enliven us and become the overriding vehicles of our souls - enlarging our interconnectedness with God and with others. In this way, the trip - which includes the happenings of yesterday, today and tomorrow - becomes most fully worthwhile when we realize that God is present, wanting to speak to our souls. By listening, we become more true to ourselves, our thoughts, emotions and beliefs. We become cognizant of what it is that we are reaching for as we make daily decisions. We read and hear Holy Writ, yes, while also evaluating and valuing the vitality of truth that can come to us through the thoughts of others, through nature, music, books and many other life occurrences. With these, plus plumbing the depths of our inner "wells, " we seek what it is that we want most to be and do in this great experience called "life." Why Not Make the Trip Worthwhile points to a deeper, wider way of being in which there is a blessed guidance and a greater sense of gratitude to be enjoyed each day.

Through this hearing and seeing we open ourselves to a peace, a hope and a joy not otherwise experienced.Readers will be encouraged to know God takes us where we are, forgiving the past and helping us "let it all go."
