My PenPal Pastor – The Power of Prayer
Posted by Dan Joyce on
Prayer is often seen as a gateway to miracles, a spiritual lifeline that taps into the supernatural. It's credited with moving mountains, healing the sick, and transforming impossible situations. But the true power of prayer, at least in my experience, goes beyond these dramatic moments. For many, prayer serves as a personal affirmation, a declaration of intent—a commitment to positive change in our lives. Whether it’s quitting smoking, shedding those extra pounds, or breaking free from the chains of addiction, prayer can be the spark that lights the path to success. When you say a prayer, you’re not just asking...
Smoker’s Journal – Counting the Days
Posted by Dan Joyce on
So, here I am—one week in and officially counting the days. Seven days. It feels a bit strange to count the days in a place where I can’t smoke anyway. It’s not like I’ll get a shiny chip for this, and there’s definitely no 12-step program in my future. I’m over that scene.

This relationship is with Jacki, someone who’s chosen to be by my side in a charitable, encouraging way. There’s no ancient myth or predefined script for what we have. It’s about seeing if this connection is strong enough...
Revelations Through Meditations: Unveiling the Still, Soft Silence
Posted by Dan Joyce on
There is a still, soft silence to the earth,A quiet calm that echoes beneath the hum of our hurried lives,Beneath the roar of reason, and the rise of restless thoughts,It whispers: There is love, there is light, there is life. Beneath man’s most maddening monsters—The fear, the fury, the fractures of the soul—There is a deeper layer, a place untouched by chaos,Where serenity waits, wrapped in the warmth of wonder. Where do your meditations take you?Do they dive into the darkness, only to find light breaking through?Do they linger in the labyrinth of your mind,Only to lead you to a...
