The Dots Are Not Connected
What if there are no dots? What if there are no connections? What if All really is One and One really is All? What if there is only eternal being in Oneness and Jesus to the Chrizzity Chrizist knows what’s up and is calling us into that reality. John 17:20-23 (New King James Version) Jesus…

These Wounds Can Heal
What if all of those wounds that you are ashamed of are God’s way of empowering you to heal others?

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. …

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…

I Don’t Need To Look At The Sun To Feel It
I was on a break during class when I saw a classmate, Sarah Wilson, looking at her smartphone. I jokingly said to her, how can you be looking at your phone when it’s beautiful out today. Her response was simple and ultimately struck me as very profound with regard to its spiritual implications. She replied,…
