I am currently working on novels and shorter works in the speculative fiction genre ...more

Quotes by Paul Sofranko (?)

“An aspect of being receptive to God’s will for you is trust. In trusting that He who knows you better than you know yourself, you will be guided to where you need to go and He will provide for you what you need to have. Trusting that His will for you is the reason why He placed you on this Earth.”
― Paul Sofranko, The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts
