A series of inspirational reflections that continue my journey as a widow raising a large family in a turbulent world. As a sci-fi writer, I see extraordinary possibilities embedded in the fabric of the human race. We have been placed here on Earth for a reason. When I am uncertain or afraid, I learn what real courage looks like. When death strikes, I must choose—the hope of mysterious faith or the barren desert of disbelief. My careful or careless life says everything about who I am and what my time on this earth means—yesterday, today, and into tomorrow's forever.

This past month, I’ve been reading about the life and times of Alexander Hamilton. Beyond the fact that the man rose from being a social outcast amid poverty and uncertainty to becoming one of the most influential human beings on the planet, exists the reality that he managed to plant cornerstones of inventive genius in our government platform in a world where there was no lack of men who considered themselves the last word in reasoned thinking. It’s no wonder he died in a duel. What’s a wonder is that he lived fast and furiously enough to accomplish the startling amount of work he did.
Like the power of the sun’s rays, the innate directional sense of geese, the circus show-off of the average squirrel, and the glory of an old oak tree, so human beings reflect something quite beyond our limited nature.
I hear all sorts of rational criticisms about God and the spiritual world. I’ll not deny that our human...
