There are three phrases/words not allowed in my house. 1. Jesus Christ (unless actually referring to Jesus), 2. shut up, and 3. proverbial. It actually pains me to hear people say “Jesus Christ!” so casually. Do they understand the magnitude of their disrespect? Do they care? Our kids are taught to understand. And, if I…
Self Righteousness
Is it self righteous for one to say he or she is not self righteous? Could be. I think if one is truly not self righteous then they don’t have to say it to try to convince people of it. Not going to lie, I slip into self righteous mode sometimes. It’s awful because I…
Truesdays
Have you noticed how it’s becoming so rare for people to listen each other? We all have stories to share, but few people take time to hear them. I believe we would all be richer if we simply listed to one another. Our experiences are meant to be shared. In telling our stories we bring…
Jesus Teaches the Religion of the Spirit
“I have called upon you to be born again, to be born of the spirit. I have called you out of the darkness of authority and the lethargy of tradition into the transcendent light of the realization of the possibility of making for yourselves the greatest discovery possible for the human soul to make –…
Why Me? (a Peach and Beech episode)
“I’m sad,” said Peach. Beech looked sideways at Peach and wanted to say something sarcastic. But, something told her this wasn’t the time for crude humor. “Why is that?” “Life is so hard. Why do we have to struggle so much when other people have it so easy?” Beech thought for a moment. She was…

Whatever may presently be your need…
A Prayer for the Broken Hearted
Please say a prayer for comfort and peace for the brokenhearted. Pray they may be wrapped in God’s love and healing warmth, that they may be grateful for the gift of a loving spirit and that they may have the courage to love again.
Vivid Dreams
So many mornings I have woken up and immediately said to my husband, “I had the weirdest dream.” It doesn’t even phase him anymore because it happens so often. My dreams are very vivid and I almost always remember them in great detail. A wise woman told me recently that I should be keeping a…
This Moment
All that matters is this moment, right now. Whatever you are doing at this very moment is all that matters. In the illusion of time, right now is all that exists. Make it count. Like plucking a string that extends infinitely through the universe, your thoughts, words and actions have an effect. Let it be…
My Ancestry Experiment
Almost three years ago I decided to put in a bit of effort to trace my ancestry as far as I could. I knew next to nothing about my grandparents, but with just their names and the birthplace of each of my parents I was able to locate enough public records to fill in a…
