  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • If Time Is Money, They’re Both Lies

    For my class in Christian Ethics some years ago, I had to read the book, The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, by Max Weber.  It is one of those books from the early part of the 20th Century ( I’m talking 1904-5) that can depress a thinking person because it shows that…

  • 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…

  • 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…
