I share this humorous article I wrote for the church I am currently serving, for several reasons. One, we should remember that both the Bible and the Waith material are channelled information. Second, what is important is the information inside the covers rather than the encasement which contain the printed pages. And third, long after […]

I sit here writing just 12 short hours before the big Valentine’s Day Nor’easter is scheduled to begin. Many of us have been here before ~ sometimes the heavy snow predictions come true and sometimes they don’t ~ snow turns into rain, and slush turns into mush.

The Universe always has something to say. Sometimes it speaks to us via an intuitive notion with gentle feelings that guide us to action, and still there are other times it yells and is as subtle as a rainstorm in the desert. I write to you concerning the latter. Here is my story…

Turning it Over and Letting Go are two phrases most commonly used when referring to Surrender. Surrender ~ a difficult task to say the least, yet as I have found over the years, one that is essential to our spiritual well being.

Healing pain, be it physical or just plain sadness, I find to be one of the most challenging trials of our sojourn on earth. Dealing with pain is something we have in common. Life is not easy and to assume that we should be able to somehow side step this lesson is folly, not to […]

There is an old song that is a favorite among older folk that was written at the end of the First World War, in 1919, by J. Keirn Brennan and Ernest R. Ball called, Let the Rest of the World Go By. A popular recording was made by crooner, Dick Haymes in 1944 when people were looking towards the end of World War II. It was also featured in the 1985 movie Out of Africa. The words reflect a popular sentiment ~
