    I am grateful for the surprise gift that sits waiting for Journal readers’ to unwrap each day. Every meditation offers a blessing with an invitation to live Love. In response to your question I am tempted to say “Comfort Movies” because of the mutual connection we find in the bigger than life stories that they represent. I so enjoyed all the comments posted by readers. Yet, Randy Pausch’s lecture in “A Dying Professor’s Last Message” receives my vote. I was moved by his courageous gift of Love. “Early Autumn” and “Avoiding Love” led me towards introspection and the vulnerability of being alive and living in the shadow of death. Also, to reflection about how meditation is my inner path to God.
    I guess I found a different value in each meditation and all were enriching. What could enhance the richness contained in these pages is if more readers would join this unique circle of caring by posting a comment.
    “Let us be concerned with one another, to help one another to show Love and do good. Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are prone to do. Let us encourage one another.” ~ Hebrews 10:24-25

    This is not an easy question. I think I will pass on saying which one was my favorite. I agree with what Liz said in terms of finding meaning in each one AND how other folks responses definitely add to the richness of these meditations. I remain very grateful for the Journal of Sacred Work.
