“How did I end up with so much stuff?” That question is usually followed up with: “…and I don’t use any of it.” Harder still is the idea of getting rid of anything, fearful it may be needed at a later time. More stuff also means more maintenance. Then there’s the fact that none of…

Over the last few weeks, I’ve suffered the loss of many friends. When I say ‘suffered,’ I’m saying they’ve passed away, leaving the rest of us to carry on. It’s a fact that none of us are going to get off this rock alive, which means our earthly bodies will eventually fail, leaving our soul…

My husband got out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom, when…FLASH. As I started to get up to check on him, he crawled back under the covers, where I snuggled up next to his chilled body. “What was that bright light?” No answer. Instead he excitedly climbed on me and spreading my legs, I…

“He is twice warmed who cuts his own wood,” goes the old saw. Our foods seem to taste better when we’ve done the preparation, our home more enjoyable when we’ve clean it ourselves, and our yard brighter once we’ve finished pulling weeds and raking the grass. That’s because it’s satisfying to do things for yourself…

Everyone feels a sense of hopelessness from time to time. It’s natural. But no one should ever lose all hope. Without hope, failure becomes our only option.

Jesus was walking through the woods one morning, shortly after returning from Heaven. He needed to take a shit, but couldn’t find a place. Finally, unable to hold it any more, he grabbed a few leaves and squatted behind a fallen log. Much to his surprise, he discovered the Easter Bunny doing the same thing.…

“Welcome to Jerusalem this evening. Earlier today, we caught up with the spokesperson of a man executed 24-hours ago by the local authorities. He claims his client was innocent. But what about his political activities?” “There are none, his only interest people.” “So why execute him?” “He threatens to upset their system.” “But I thought…

It’s good to be careful. It’s instinctual, that God-given internal voice that tells us something’s not right and that we must beware. We’re suspicious of people we don’t know because we worry that they’ll take advantage of us and so we keep our guard up. That’s because there are people who’ll cheat us if they’re…

Everyday that I awaken brings the chance for me to draw in a breath, kick off the dregs of the day before and to venture out into a new world. The same can be said for you, too. That is the miracle that is you – to live a fresh, new day – unencumbered with…

“More, more, more,” goes the song ‘Rebel Yell,’ by Billy Idol. We always want more. More things, more mullah, more friends. Whatever it might be that we think we don’t have enough of, if only we had more of it we’d be happy or at least happier. But we know better, or at least we…
