How Long, O Lord? A Meditation on Habakkuk
How long can we wait? As Christians, we read this and are still looking for God’s action. Even the coming of Jesus didn’t slow down the wickedness we see all around us. And, often times, this wickedness pervades our lives and slows us down. How long, O God?

No Star-Studded Career
Let us grasp from the outset that success as understood in the usual secular sense of the word is not promised in the kingdom of God. God never promised anybody a star-studded career. He never promised achievement in the worldly understanding of the word. In fact, He seem to promise the exact opposite.

The Power of Love
Love is a powerful tool used to successfully coach any type of client - from high level executives to prison inmates. In order to make an impact with Love, a coach must put aside their own egos and agendas to create a secure arena for a client to flourish.

Midnight Songs
In life, sooner or later, we come to the midnight hour. The hour comes when all is black, when myriad shapes seem to haunt our paths, when the very blackness appalls and our hearts cry out in utter despair.

Christian Love
Actually, loving does not take any great effort on our part because it is not something we must put forth great effort to achieve. When God enters our heart, soul, and mind, love is spontaneously produced because He is love.

No Other gods Before Me
Idolatry in all of its many forms retains one consistent principle: it does nothing for the worshipper, provides no power, offers no hope. God has a claim on our hearts, and this claim is exclusive. He yields ground to no other Master, no other god. He wants all of us, so that He can bless us in our totality.

Stress RELEASE
How do you ease stress? What a question! How pertinent the question is as a poignant reminder to say yes and return to your powerful center. For surely when we are centered and grounded we express an easy and relaxed air. You know such moments when we start and breathe deeply with gratitude. It is within said moments we remember with all senses the meaning of life beyond concepts, deadlines and what reigns in our heart is of primary importance. That which reigns is peace. All the dramas of our cultural inheritance, our upbringing, the memories and mental filters dissolve and your true beauty shines. So again I ask: How do you ease stress?

Anxiety Disorder, Social - Treatment That Works
Several of the people I've worked with recently have told me privately that they suffer from varying degrees of Social Anxiety Disorder. Treatment for each of them varies from no treatment to drug therapy and regular counseling. Since I've had my own challenges with Agoraphobia, Anxiety and Panic, I czn relate to what they're going through. No two people are alike, and no two experiences of these problems are the same.

The Bravery of Being Out Of Range
So there we made our stand, the air peppered with white missiles flying in perfect arcs to splat harmlessly in front of our firing line. We remained where we were to make sure that we had a fix on the other teams range, and then we adjusted our distance and started throwing our own snowballs, picking off the front lines and the odd bystander.

Breathe In The Face Of Fear: Do You Know How To Breathe Properly?
In my travels day to day I notice that the majority of people I meet do not breathe with intention and ease. The labored breathing patterns of humans I have witnessed are not an isolated and random event. At the time of this awakening one knows such disconnection from our breath to be a phenomenon in an alarming pandemic pattern. The world at large seems to be holding our collective breath as if before some spiritual plunge.

Home Water Fountains and Waterfalls: A Multi-Sensory Approach to Reducing Stress
From the moment we wake to the moment we fall asleep at night, our ears and brains are required to deal with a multitude of low frequency sounds that drain the brain of energy and cause stress. Noise may not be the sole cause of the stress and other health issues we experience, but it is most certainly one source. The good news is that we can reduce, and even reverse, the negative effects that noise has on our brains and bodies through regular exposure to the higher frequency sounds found in nature. When we can't go out into nature regularly, home water fountains and waterfalls are often a preferred source for nature sounds because they offer a multi-sensory stress-relieving experience that sound machines and audio recordings are unable to provide.
