Saints or Sinners? 

Most of us have at one time or another considered ourselves sinners.  How many of us can also call ourselves Saints?  Or is it perhaps more credible that we are a wonderful mixture of both?  This section is all about people who have been known, or are known, as either saints or sinners of this world. Keep in mind that these are actually relative terms as all words are. This section will provide a brief biography on many people.  Some will be famous. Others will be perhaps unknown to most of you, and yet will have an interesting life story, with a lesson for all of us.

Recently, I had the opportunity to view a CBC documentary of her life and it was very inspiring. To some, ( mostly women), she was a saint, but to others ( mostly men) of her time, she would have been considered a sinner. Click here to read more . . .
