Time is a Human Made Illusion

Just recently I had the pleasure of traveling 1800 miles to see my adult children and grandchildren. My journey took me across 4 states and two time zones. What was interesting is the time in my car does not automatically change but on my cell phone it does. Coming from the south east and goingContinue reading “Time is a Human Made Illusion”

Is it a Mess, Message, or More?

The last week I met with the challenge of cleaning out my storage unit. My things had been packed and stored away for the last five years. I know, an incredible amount of time to have things in storage. I opened the door and stared inside. The contents were more daunting then I had remembered.Continue reading “Is it a Mess, Message, or More?”

Trustable and Healing Truth

This morning while sipping coffee I suddenly started contemplating truth and all of its many facets. I wondered why it is when we work through our ego human self it is so easy for so many people to lie to others and to themselves. Our humanness can be so deceptive sometimes. One deceptive untruth isContinue reading “Trustable and Healing Truth”

The Need to Be Certain in an Uncertain World

To be certain is to know for sure that something is going to be there for us to help us survive. It can be a person, a situation, and even an addiction. Sometimes it is our spirituality or the need for love or comfort. Regardless to where it comes from or how we get it,Continue reading “The Need to Be Certain in an Uncertain World”

If You Want a Better Life…

You can decide to let events cause you to decline or you can decide to allow difficult events cause you to rise above.Continue reading “If You Want a Better Life…”

What is Assumption Really Doing?

We have all heard of jealousy as being the “green eyed monster”, but I feel assuming is more green and more monstrous. Assumption speaks out a lie about someone else. When someone assumes they think they know what the other is thinking, or what the intentions of the heart are, without asking. The first thingContinue reading “What is Assumption Really Doing?”

Love’s Truth

Along life’s path we all experience so many different feelings and facets of what love might be. It’s like it is segmented into pieces that we, as humans, can somehow understand. Maybe the full depth of it is so overwhelming that slicing it up like pieces of warm apple pie is the only way weContinue reading “Love’s Truth”

Honor All Life, but Remember YOU are Life Too!

One of my many ministerial agreements upon ordination is to “honor all life”. Sometimes that is a hard thing to do when not every action is honorable. Maybe I should say, some actions are not honorable. All I can say in this circumstance is to see the God part of a person and separate itContinue reading “Honor All Life, but Remember YOU are Life Too!”

Do You Shrink Back On Your Follow Through?

One of the most frustrating issues we deal with as humans has to be procrastination. Or maybe sometimes we just get distracted with so much bouncing around at us all of the time. I can see why many of us don’t follow through on things we really want in life. We find ways to justifyContinue reading “Do You Shrink Back On Your Follow Through?”

Are You a Renaissance Person?

Several years ago I was having a discussion with an old friend, Rev. Rhonda, about all of the things I love to try and how I seem to change from one thing to another. She giggled a bit at my confusion because to her this was completely normal. She told me, “Jenine, you are aContinue reading “Are You a Renaissance Person?”
