You Are Never Abandoned

  Feeling abandoned is horrible. Yet, it is only a feeling and not “Truth”. People tend to look at the idea of abandonment and believe it means that there is no one to turn to or someone human has left us. Although this is a human and valid feeling it is only a limited truth.Continue reading “You Are Never Abandoned”

I Know of a Man Who Was Named Saul

There once was a man named Saul. He seemed to be a very heartless person. You see, Saul had a spirit of self righteousness and absolutely hated Christians! We all know how the ego part of us get us in to trouble. Well, Saul had a big one of those! I have a personal theoryContinue reading “I Know of a Man Who Was Named Saul”

Characteristics of Love: Love is Not Self-Seeking

Not being self seeking can be confusing at first. On one hand we can not give of anything until we have it within ourselves. Being self assured, self giving, and providing self care are all good things. We do need to seek our healing, our inner light, and to seek out what is best inContinue reading “Characteristics of Love: Love is Not Self-Seeking”

Characteristics of Love: Love Does Not Delight in Evil but Rejoices With the Truth

If you have been following along with my blog posts lately you might have discovered my “love” series is taken from the attributes of love described in the bible in the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Isn’t it nice that we have a guideline? I kind of skipped to this one because it stoodContinue reading “Characteristics of Love: Love Does Not Delight in Evil but Rejoices With the Truth”

Have You Discovered the Power of Taking Holy Moments?

This morning I sat with my tea just waking up and taking in the new day. I closed my eyes for a moment and the first thing I noticed was all of the noise that usually goes unnoticed. The heater came on, a car went by outside, birds were chirping in the trees, and thenContinue reading “Have You Discovered the Power of Taking Holy Moments?”

What is an “Old Soul”?

I hear the term “old soul” flipped around a lot lately. I think it has been an indication that I need clarification. I love clarity. It means “clear seeing”. It moves the fog away from life and allows us to see things through the eyes of truth and wisdom. I had to really consider howContinue reading “What is an “Old Soul”?”

Brother Against Brother, and So it Goes On…

If you live in this world you can not help but see or hear of some of the discord or violence experienced in it. It always seems like it’s worse than it ever has been. We hear of how violence is increasing. It might be. Or maybe violence is being enacted in a different wayContinue reading “Brother Against Brother, and So it Goes On…”

Trust, and the Truth Will Reveal Itself

As I see it, there are two kinds of truth. There is truth with a capital “T” meaning higher or divine truth. Then there is truth as in the opposite of a lie. The statement in my title is about truth with a small “t” or the opposite of a lie. Lying, deception, setting upContinue reading “Trust, and the Truth Will Reveal Itself”

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”

Transitional Periods Should Be a Time of Rest and Peaceful Waters

Transition is as faithful as God is faithful. If there is no transition then there is no growth, gain in wisdom, or gain in strength. I often call them new seasons but right now transition seems more appropriate. Taking the emotion out of the upheaval is the harder part. We struggle under the pressure ofContinue reading “Transitional Periods Should Be a Time of Rest and Peaceful Waters”
