Chip Chip

After posting one of my spiritual essays last week, I received a very lengthy and thought filled comment from one of my readers. The comment basically stated that my ideals are fine, but with the world in such a mess, that they were not feasible on a world wide basis. His premise was what good would...

Mr. Nice Guy

I have one motto, “Nice guys finish first (except in football)”. It is not much of a motto, but I do try to live it. I have taught my son, “It doesn’t cost you anything to be nice to someone”, and it is true. How can it be that something so easy to do, and so cheap to execute, be so positive? That...

Who's Right?

Everybody has their own personal views in life. Sometimes we keep them to ourselves, sometimes we tell others about them. As Americans, we all have the right, not only to hold our own view on something, but also to voice that view. I don’t understand why, but many people feel they can hold, and...

They all were melodramatic, and they all had creepy, scary monsters in them. I am sure that anyone over the age of forty can... Sign in to see full entry.

My Life Would Have Been Better If Only...

As you get older you realize that maybe, just maybe, you should have actually listened to some of the advice you received when you were younger. I know I am not alone. We all thought we knew it all when we were seniors in high school, when we were seniors in college, when we turned thirty, when we... Sign in to see full entry.

Blue Skies

“Blue skies, smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see.” That is the opening line of the old song “Blue Skies”. I used to listen to it every weekend when I was a kid. My dad played a lot of Jim Reeves when I was a lad, and this song was one of my favorites. Not only for Jim’s smooth as velvet... Sign in to see full entry.

Won't Get Fooled Again

There is one thing our local and national news media does extremely well. Is it keep up us to date on important events, and history making news? No. Do they give us accurate up to the minute weather forecasts? Not usually. Do they make sure we know their station’s line up of shows for the day? Yes,... Sign in to see full entry.

Working For God

Many people don’t realize this, but God needs us as much as we need God. Here in the physical world the only way that God can affect what goes on is through the human state of consciousness.
