God knows we cannot make it to His kingdom until we learn how to sacrifice our needs, our wants, and our desires, for the good of someone else. In other words, until we learn how to love one another, even the unlovable. And, we can never love until we get rid of the anger.

Have you heard the saying that; You have a friend in Jesus? Great quote, it sounds really nice, but it should read you have an invisible friend in Jesus. After all you are having a personal relationship with a dead man, one who has been dead an awfully long time indeed.

Thus, we realize and understand that we cannot escape boundaries. Wherever we go and whatever we do, we encounter boundaries of some type. The boundary that we hear about less often is the boundary between line between time and eternity. Death is the great divide.

Would you like to live a life worth celebrating? Are there ways that you could be happier, more at peace? As human beings it is inherent to want to self-actualize and build lives of deep profound meaning. This is what each of us came here to do!

Finding your faith, and making the committment....

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.

Symbolism has always been important in man's development. All things are symbols. They are roadsigns or landmarks of where you are in your thinking at any particular time in the physical world. It is a simple thing to see how one is thinking just by looking at the things one gathers around oneself. But symbols can separate you from the source of your power. Danger lies in the symbol of Jesus, the cross, the Ferrari or anything that causes you to deny your power.

I tell you, my friends do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Luke at 12:4

After returning from a camping vacation, hopefully we will feel refreshed, we will have a better appreciation for our modern conveniences, we will have made some good memories, we will have strengthened relationships, and we will have brought our life a little more into balance.

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.

A playful look at perspectives, the impersonal nature of perspectives, and the open space that all perspectives appear within.

A playful look at habitual or unconscious resistance, the forms it takes, and some suggestions on how we might move towards living a life of continuous acceptance.

A humourous article looking at the way nature gives us support where we would least expect it...

Choose... On one side there is a dark cloud. It is full of pain, sickness, disease, poverty, and death. All of the curses talked about in Deuteronomy 28 are swarming in circles...

Run your business using spiritual principles and see what great results you get! Start with feeling good about marketing your products and services. Make more money while you serve the world!

The Bible maakes it plain that we must become mature. We are not to be like the Hebrew Christians who remained at the same place they started. They were instructed to leave the first principles and go on to maturity. The formula for growth is laid out concisely in Second Peter 1:5-7. We must be careful to follow the exact order given. Skipping steps will give us in trouble in a hurry. Spiritual maturity requires all the faith and patience we can muster.

Some people think just by saying the words thank you is just. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

The negative effects of stress on health are well known, but you may not have been aware of the circumstantial evidence linking heart disease and stress in particular. You ignore the evidence at your own risk!

Stress plays a huge part in all of our lives now, we all face challenges (good and bad) and obstacles, and when it gets too much, when we are past our comfort zone, then stress manifests. It can be good sometimes, personally I work best when I am slightly stressed, it pushes you to work faster and stay focussed on the task at hand, but too much stress can have detrimental effects.

Stress has become one of the silent killers of people in today's world. There are many different types of stresses that people can suffer from; and these stresses are deteriorating people's wellbeing to such an extent that they are becoming victims of several physical and mental ailments. Stresses can arise from work, family relations, financial problems, education problems, appearance of the body, physical state of the body, etc. There are so many stresses that is difficult to discuss all of them under one heading.

So many people get lured into jobs or careers which promise huge rewards in the future. Yet, these jobs, and many more, place really high demands on the people who work in the organisation. At what cost to the individual? In many cases, it leads to stress and, in extreme instances, this can go on to cause significant illnesses and even trigger more drastic actions. Why is this - and what can we do about it?

Sometimes the best thing to say in an argument is nothing.

As I write this, Huey is smiling at me from his bed. He is deaf and has cataracts. But he still manages to somehow look at me with what can only be described as loving eyes. Huey is my 11 year old dog. (77 in people years) He is, without a doubt, my best stress reliever.
