  • In Truth There Is Only Light

    This morning I asked God how I could live my life this day as a walking prayer.  Just as I asked this I looked out of the window at the Sun and the words came to, “confess to the Light”.  So that is what I am trying to do here. But rather than use my…

  • Preparation I – For Those Illusion Flare ups

    As you may have noticed from the video, I’m still developing my language skills when it comes to speaking about “the illusion” of separation. The way I see it, the most honest thing I can do to express The Truth of the Oneness of Being is to be silent. However, because I am engaged in…

  • Thank God for the Devil

    Are you one of those people who needs someone to blame? When something goes “wrong” does your mind start racing looking for “who’s the cause of your disappointment”? Do you think, ” Why me?” Well have you ever thought, ” Why not me?” What makes so many of us think that we are so special…

  • Don’t Hate Me Because I Love You

    It has been my experience that when people do not love themselves, they will secretly hate the people that love them.  Seriously.  I’ve seen it and experienced it too many times for it to be a coincidence.  I’ve literally had people tell me that they hate me for loving them.  They essentially are saying, “Something…

  • Originally posted on The Roofless Church: Don’t Make Me Angry In Ephesians 4:26, 27 it says “‘Be angry, and do not sin’:do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.”  This is a verse that I have had to remind myself of more frequently in the past few…

  • Happiness Is Overrated

    Turn up the VOLUME on this one.  I recorded on low and since I don’t edit these you’ll have to put in some extra effort to hear it.  I figure the unintentional stuff is part of the message too so get out of it what you will. So, let’s start with a question: How many of you…

  • God–The Fulfillment of All Relationships

    Humans are notorious for trying to seek fulfillment in their interpersonal relationships.  However, in my experience with people, no relationship matches exactly what we expect from it and even if they did get close, the hard reality is that every relationship on earth is temporary.  And yet, there is something within us that has a…

  • If You Don’t Have My Back, Get Out of My Face

    So I was talking to my surrogate daughter the other day about life.  She was asking about why it is that we often get bothered when we see people doing the very things that we excuse ourselves for.  The conversation reminded me of a talk I had with my good friend, Jensen Yensen, which he…

  • Originally posted on The Roofless Church: I’m fat.  I’m skinny.  I’m pretty.  I’m ugly.  I’m in style. I’m out of style.  No one is looking at me.  Everyone is looking at me.  I’m special.  I’m just like everyone else. I’m popular.  I’m unpopular. And the list goes on and on. In fact, it’s been said…

  • God Is Beyond Belief

    It has been my experience that God is more than my thoughts and beliefs about God.  There was once a time where I thought that I did pretty much everything God wanted me to do.  I thought God would give me an “A” on my report card.  Then one day I hit a wall.  It…
