On Good Friday, especially, it can seem a dark lonely time. Today, of all days, I received a written message from a friend asking me to light a candle for someone she loved dearly. This is a first from my friend. Most of my friends, especially my long-time friends, know I always have a candle […]

Or vice-versa? If you believe in God, can you go to war with those who do not? What about those that believe in a different God? Today, at the close of the three day summit on violent extremism, Pres. Obama stated it was an “ugly lie that we are at war with Islam.” I believe […]
It is soft and quiet at my house this Christmas Eve. I found myself grateful today for this day, this Christmas Eve and for tomorrow, Christmas Day. Despite all the crappy news and usual human messiness, this is the one moment in the West where we try to be good to one another and for […]
Maybe it’s the S’ again, serendipity or synthesis, but after watching “God is (Not) Dead” for the second time, I came back to cable TV and “Cold Case.” About as different as night and day, wouldn’t you say? Grin. This song played at the end of the show and I heard the song as if […]
I enjoyed this film, God is (NOT) Dead. Awhile back I wrote a post mentioning this film and two others dealing with God in one way or another. I finally got around to watching this one.

Hello. I’ve missed talking with you. The past six weeks have been filled with such highs and such weird valleys/dips – the dips being mostly from others needing support of one sort or another. I’ve thought to write a quick summary check in… but, you know me, I never write quick and dirty posts – […]
Maybe it’s synchronicity or syncopated rhythm, or something else entirely, I keep coming across arguments or discussions as to whether God exists or not. I believe in God. He/She/The Source has come through for me so many times, and certainly every day for the last two years. Here’s the bottom line: I am happier believing […]
Daily Prompt challenge: Do you believe in fate or do you believe you can control your own destiny? I hold a very strong opinion on this one. I believe in fate, destiny and free choice. The latter allows us no excuse, full responsibility for who we are, what we do, and what we choose to […]
