**********************************************************
What power's strong enough to turn the world around-- to conquer hate and apathy? Where is it found? It's love and it should dwell deep in each heart and mind. This kind of love desires the best for all mankind. If we loved others as ourselves, as God decreed, we couldn't be consumed by jealousy and greed. Then love would truly turn the entire world around and render it a place where peace and joy abound.
