  • Life Is an Infinite Journey

    Whenever my wife and travel or go on road trips they turn into these grand philosophical journeys where we discuss the meaning of life, spirituality, the nature of reality, and how to create an ideal life together.  Then we get into an argument over something silly just to see if we can practice what we…

  • We’re All Invisible

    When I was meditating the other morning, I was listening for guidance from the Holy Spirit on what I should pay attention to that day.  In my form of meditation I mostly just pray and then just sit still for a long time afterward just listening as thoughts come up.  I don’t follow the thoughts. …

  • We’re Better Than That

    We’re Better Than That Back in the day I used to shine my light everywhere I went.  I didn’t care what anyone thought, because I was so certain that I was doing what God put in my heart to do in every moment.  I wasn’t bound by the burdens of society’s approval and I did…

  • Give Us Us Free!

    Give Us Us Free!

    Let me begin this post by declaring that contrary to some beliefs, one person cannot speak for their entire race, group, or culture.  As we all know there are innumerable diversities at work in every individual and my comments with regard to the subject of race, religion, culture, or any other category under which one…

  • Emerge and See (Emergency)

    In his book, Unhypnosis, my new friend, Dr. Steve Taubman explains how most of us walk around hypnotized without even knowing it.  His theory is that in our early stages of life, when we had very little defense, we were basically programmed by those around us to see the world and ourselves in a certain…

  • Taking No For An Answer

    Sometimes I really get tired of trying to communicate to people because many of us only hear what we want to hear.  Especially these days when most people get so easily offended and feel like having everything go our way is a right.  If I could say it out of kindness, I’d say to them…

  • We Are Worthy! A Theology of Liberation

    This post is a little more personal than my other posts, but I thought it was worth sharing because for the past several weeks I have been having a difficult time reconciling my past with my present.  It started when my Systematic Theology professor gave us an assignment to name our biggest influence on our…

  • Seeing The Green Lantern As a Parable (Power Through Weakness)

    Several days before actually going to see The Green Lantern, I was feeling this nagging sense that I was going to find some answers to some issues I was working on within the storyline of the film.  I was researching the biblical idea of God’s strength being made perfect in weakness and as such had been…

  • F.E.A.R. the Truth

    In this video I do my best to to put into words the frustration that I am experiencing in this moment realizing that I do not have the words to convey the Love I believe is Present for each and every one of us.  When I look at the world today I see people living for the…

  • No One Can Make What God Has Created

    My friends do you trust in the reality of your true being?  Jesus taught that the person that lives within you is greater than the one seen by the world.  How often do you let that person within you see the light of day?  For many of us it is not often enough.  For a…
