Every time I have the desire to do something, to create something, that’s Spirit seeking expression through me. ANY time we connect with something or someone, we're also connected with Spirit (also known as God, the Universe, Higher Power, the Source). While our personal definition of Spirit is unique, when we connect with that Spirit it immediately connects us with something outside of ourselves.

A series of articles on How to Interpret the Bible, by Lauretta Lueck, author of The Many Waters. To Ezekiel, what he saw was a creature, and the LORD rode on this live animal of unknown origin. What the writers of the Qumran text describe is a chariot that, supposedly, came from heaven and was driven by angels. Obviously these people were familiar with chariots, but because these were exceptionally beautiful they may have thought they were heavenly and the occupants angels. Who else could they be?

Those of you who are unemployed, or desire a career change, or perhaps, like me, want to expand the work you already have, may notice things are not happening as fast as you had hoped. Take heart! You are not a failure and there is nothing wrong with you! To find your way stop pushing and let God (as you understand Him) lead.

We make plans and set goals in life never knowing the time frame under which we are working. And somehow, due to lack of sufficient time, our greatest goals in life are never realized. For just when we see it within reach, it is cut off and we fly away.

In the book, “First Things First”, Steven Covey helps us understand how and why the Japanese people think how they do and accomplish so much more than American’s in a same twenty-four hour period.

We reap what we sow. Whatever your heart needs or desires, give it away. Give it away until your heart becomes a reservoir of life.

One does not have to live long to realize that along the pilgrim’s path are many battles to be fought and enemies to be overcome and we should not be surprised when new trials come our way.

Lexie Chihuahua is a very special little chihuahua girl that came to me through a series of miracles that I believe were orchestrated by my son, Brian Michael, before his passing on February 22, 2003.

ROMANS 6:11 My friend Randy had given up trying to live the Christian life. He said, “I have tried, but have failed so many times. Nothing seems to work for me.” After listening to his account of his many failures and defeats, I began to explain the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Randy interrupted: “I know all about the Holy Spirit. I’ve read everything I can find, and nothing works for me.” My thoughts turned to Romans 6. I asked him, “Randy, are you sure you’re a Christian?” “Yes,” he answered. “I’m sure.” “How do you know?”

One of the first steps toward understanding the Tarot lies in appreciating the meaning of its two Arcana – the Major and the Minor. But even before that, the novice does well by committing to memory the meaning of “Arcana” – defined as “mysterious knowledge, language, or information accessible only by the initiate.”

“A child's hand in yours what tenderness and power arouses. You are instantly the very touchstone of wisdom and strength.
~ Marjorie Holmes She said, “Children are for sharing. Not everyone can have one.” We never did. So it is a delight to share time with these creatures of being. They are still connected to their original face. They still play in the garden of eternity.

From the moment of our birth, we become externally focused into the material world. The world demands and commands we focus our attention on it. Exhausted at the end of the day, we fall into our beds to sleep. If we remember our dreams, they for the most part mirror our daily lives. Not only are we consciously, burdened, by our waking life, in sleep we are burdened as well.

Universal Law is an invisible influence in every individual’s life, whether we realize it or not. It is invisible because we cannot see it anymore than we can see the God who created it. We can see only the evidence of its existence by recognizing its effect on our lives. Universal Law is an expanding and contracting vibration, always in motion.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

For the past several years I have struggled with getting (and staying) fit. Ok I admit it, the struggle has been longer than just a few years. As a kid, instead of playing nicely with the girls, I fought with the neighborhood boys. I attempted to join their fun and received new scars weekly in bloody games of soccer. I was always the last one picked to play on the kickball team and, as the catcher of my 5th grade softball team, I pummeled the pitcher in the head with a fast ball. Uncoordinated in team sports, I succeeded only at baton twirling which was fun but I barely broke a sweat. After failures in group sports I thought I'd try running so, a few years ago I attempted to train for a half marathon. I ended up limping home in tears and thought I’d never exercise again. (I couldn't even MOVE after that, much less exercise!)
