Writing Partners
My eldest son is showing, nowadays, an explicit interest in the books written by his father. I am not saying that he is seeking closeness in the midst of forlornness. He is always close. A few days ago, he requested that I send them all to him. In the request, I was struck by his ...
Read moreTravel Has Occurred!
My wife deals with the moment. The whole life is going to the end. However, in her life, she spends herself right now, that is, at all times, to love, to all: near and far, especially these last days, to our four grandchildren. Fatigue, there is no room for fatigue in her care for them. ...

Read moreTravel in Lebanon
There are people in Lebanon who choose to tour for days in its cities or villages in order to spend vacations that relieve them of the pressures of life. Lebanon is more beautiful than any travel! Yesterday, after the Liturgy, I had the opportunity to “travel” to areas that are open to the sea, to ...

Many have written about the injustice of the shortage of medicines in Lebanon. For a sick person to writhe with his being deprived of his medication in any part of the earth, this is not news of a civilized world. There is no place for civilization in Lebanon! A few days ago, a media outlet ...
