| When we watch black and white footage of past wars, or read about them, we may feel a sense of detachment from the scenes presented to us. But the people living back then were real people, as alive as we are right now and, as my husband often says, their world is the same world that we live in today. The grass was green and the sky was blue. They |

| And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more |

| Christian Religion invalidates the word of God through man's tradition. True Christianity is based solely on the word of God. Christian Religion promotes self righteousness. True Christianity promotes the righteousness of Christ. Christian Religion is often focused on good deeds. True Christianity focuses on faith in Jesus Christ. Christian |

| QUOTING JESUS In our world we often hear the words of famous people quoted. Recently I realized that very rarely do we hear anyone quote the words of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God, and surely His words are worth hearing above all others. JESUS SAID: “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke |

| It was the end of 1997 and we had just sold our home. Our plan was to move around March of the following year, but unforseen circumstances made it necessary for us to move sooner than planned. Our new residence wouldn't be ready for another three months so we needed a place to stay temporarily. My parents had a vacant apartment on the second floor |

| “Dove Se Piccolino” is a poem my mother learned in Italy when she was a little girl. She recited it in Italian. I cannot read or write in Italian, so this is the best I could do to get it down on paper. (Corrections are welcome.) I also made an attempt at translating, only to give an idea of what it says. It's an allegory, written in a |

| Some believe that when we take communion we are receiving the actual body and blood of Christ. Some believe that the crucified and risen Christ is “really present” in “the sacrament,” and that with the bread and wine (we use grape juice) are receiving Christ's body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. Sacramentalism is |

| “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Proverbs 23:23 The bible teaches “believer's baptism”. Believe and be baptized. Believers publicly declare their faith by being baptized. “But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name |

| What follows is what I spoke in church, at my mother's funeral service: *** “When all is said and done . . . nothing matters but Jesus. Here we are in the year 2007, gathered together on the occasion of my mother's death and the Lord is still working . . . not always with fanfare, but quietly . . . by the still small voice of the Holy Spirit |

| Jesus, the one with the authority to do so, had allowed my mother to live. After my mother recovered from her illness I often spoke to her about the Lord. I would read the Bible to her and tell her the things that Jesus said. She wasn't very receptive but she never told me to stop. She let me talk. So I kept talking. I was often discouraged, and |

What is the meaning of life? , is the question I started writing my Blog with, but really it is about relationships in the wider context; Relationships: between mind and body, between people, between people and circumstances, between |

| I’ve been preoccupied with the moon and with travel the past few days and this one just about got by me. I knew in the back of my mind it was coming but perhaps couldn’t deal with the fact that August 1st is already upon us. I have to admit as I’ve been wandering down my pagan path taking the many twists and turns that have |

| The sounds of the night are many, sounds that call us into the night, drawing us into other worlds and places long forgotten. Those places sit waiting for us to hear those sounds that beckon us to return. Here we leave behind the cares of the day, and move deep within ourselves to find the mysteries that await us. Here are the messages that |

| Tonight as the full moon approaches, I find myself filled with an energy that I have not felt in some time. With each passing of the dark and full moon, I was filled with increasing chaos and, in fact, left things alone over the last dark moon. Now I find myself back to where I was when I first embraced the moon, a feeling I can't |
