God and man and time.

Man and God and ‘Leap Second’

The difference between man and God is time. We cannot escape it, and sooner or later we all run out of it. For God there has never been an hour or a moment or a second, no beginning, no end, no time.

My Dog, My Inspiration, Your Prayers

Edward Grinnan’s golden retriever, Millie, has been the recipient of a flood of loving messages and prayers as she undergoes cancer treatment. In gratitude, Edward invites everyone to post their prayers here for all beloved animals and pets.

What Dogs Can Teach Us

What amazes me about all the dogs I’ve been blessed to love and write about, especially Millie, is not so much their cleverness but their uncanny emotional intelligence, this profound sense of intuition about us.

Get Inspired, Start Writing

Every two years Guideposts holds an inspirational writing contest. I hate calling it a contest becomes it implies losers and winners and almost everyone who enters has something important and brave and honest to say in their story.

Happy Birthday, Millie!

I am grateful for all God has blessed me with, and never more so than the dogs that have brought so much meaning and comfort and companionship to my life.
