So often I am asked by Men and Women, "what can I do to feel more connected to God in my life and to feel more peaceful?"
I often share my rule of life with others. It isn't that I always follow this rule, but when I don't, I lose focus and different aspects of my life suffer because of it. Time after time, when I return to the rule (guide), my life regains balance and my inner peace returns.
