  • 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…

  • 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 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…

  • 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…

  • An Answer for Everything

    Isn’t it funny that many of us admit that “God works in mysterious ways” or that we must embrace the “unknown”, but yet we always seem to have the answers or be looking for the answers for everything.  We want to get “it” right so bad, that sometimes we will live with answers that make…

  • 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…

  • And Then Comes Spring

    In the winter season, it is easy to forget that in spite of gray skies and lifeless looking trees, there is something wonderful happening.  Life is begetting life even when we cannot see it.  The same is true for the winters of our souls.  In each of our lives we experience seasons.  Things grow, blossom,…

  • 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…
