On this last day of January, as winter tightens it's frigid grip on much of our country, just wanted to offer you something to transport you to another place. I had the occasion recently to experience a cruise ship for eleven days. It was my first -- quite possibly my last -- time on one of those peculiar vessels. But some of the most sublime moments offered the opportunity for thankful prayer and laughs at all the little joys that God affords us when we least expect...and just accept.
