The Faintest Flicker of Faith
I’ve come to believe that each of us has an inner spirit of truth that helps us recognize the truth when we’re looking for it. This is the inner part of us that resonates when we have an aha moment or when something we read, hear, or see strikes a responsive chord. It’s like an…
Read MoreNever make long-term decisions based on short-term misery
Over 30 years ago, I lay in bed in a decrepit one-bedroom apartment, crying as I stared at the cracked ceiling. At the ripe old age of thirty-three, my life was over. I had lost all I valued in life, with no hope of ever reclaiming it. The truth had sunk in—my home was broken,…
Read MoreGod and the Satellite internet
A recent problem with my satellite internet connection demonstrated once again that I can see God in many things—if I am receptive.

Read MoreUplifting one person at a time
Sometimes I feel a need to prove myself “right” or to win a disagreement simply as a way of making me feel worthy – or to make the other person realize that I am knowledgeable, important, or persuasive . I use “rightness” to assert my value, to elevate me in my own eyes. Trying to…
