  • What Your Power Looks Like

    I know some people may feel like I’m making a big deal about this waterfall like the double rainbow dude, but the fact is I cannot deny the awesomeness of Creation and I also can’t help but know that the very Power through which this waterfall came into being is active in each and everyone…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • A View From the Mountain

    I can honestly say that I don’t know if I would even be a Christian if it were not for Martin Luther King Jr.  Even though I was raised with the Bible and church, MLK Jr. was the greatest example of Christianity that I have known in modern times.  He lived out his calling and…

  • 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…

  • Trance End!: Seeing Truth Beyond Facts

    My original intent for this post was to write something about how the world needs to wake up.  But as I started to think about what my message would be, I started to ask myself what exactly I was imploring people to wake up to.  I wondered  if it selfish was for me to say…

  • I Almost Forgot Why I Came Here

    So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:6-8) Beloved, I beg…

  • S.A.D. – Sadness, Anger, and Desire

    I spent the whole week of January 9, 2011 in Glastonbury Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in Hingham, MA.  It was part of a class I was taking for my Masters of Divinity program at Andover Newton Theological School.  Before entering, I had to do my best to empty myself of all expectations and desires for my time…

  • Know That You Are Loved

    It takes nothing more than a little faith and a willingness to accept that the we are all a part of Love’s Mystery. We don’t need to understand it to receive it. God Loved us into Being. This means that we are not only objects of Love, our fundamental nature is a project of Love.…

  • A Thief and a Liar (Shine)

    Is there anything in your life that you would give absolutely everything to?  Can you even imagine such a thing?  There used to be a time when I felt like I could absolutely give myself to whatever I set my heart to.  My heart was disciplined to Love and my belief was that I had…
