  • One In All and All In One

    May the Radiant Love of God permeate your very being as you engage the message of this post.  May it once and for all remove all doubt that you are One with the Creator eternally.  Can you hear it when I tell you that you have been with God from the beginning and beyond.  Just…

  • The Gospel According to You

    Let me begin this post by saying that I absolutely love the Bible.  I have read a lot of books in my life and the Bible by far has been the most intriguing work I have ever engaged.  With the exception of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, C.S. Lewis’ Mere…

  • I Apologize For Being Sorry

    When I watched the movie Lincoln, I kept thinking about how amazing it was that he never apologized for doing whatever it took for him to get the votes necessary to pass the 13th amendment that ended slavery.  For some reason it called to mind the Biblical parable of the unjust steward.  If you see…

  • Does Jesus Care What We Think?

    Does Jesus Care What We Think?

    This post may bother some of us who think of Christ as a Superhero Santa Claus who saves us  from all of our problems and makes all of our wishes come true.  What if Jesus’ greatest power is being a friend who loves us no matter what and considers what is best for us and…

  • The World Is Meaningless

    WARNING:  This post can be depressing if you are the type of person that looks for the negative or positive in everything.  I love you, but this post is not for you.  This post is for people who are interested in taking responsibility for how they receive the world.  Everyone else, I have to direct you…

  • 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…

  • Role Over and Die

    Have you ever found yourself falling into a role that you were so sure you had transcended?  Do you feel compelled to meet people under the circumstances that are comfortable to them rather than showing up as your “authentic self”?  Yes, the whole “authentic self” thing is starting to get cliche, but you know what…

  • 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…

  • 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…
