    O lux beatissima, Reple cordis intima Tuorum fidelium As we have begun to enter this joyous season of Christmas let us all take a moment to reflect on what this message means for us. Tonight churches around the world are celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus The Christ.  If yo...

  • Chasing the wrong carrot

    All of us at some point in our lives have had dreams and goals. We have set them as the dangling carrot in front of our face to encourage us what we are working towards. For some of us though, it may seem like that carrot is a mile away and never getting closer. Every time you believe you have just ...
  • Time to Take a Stand

     Allow me a few moments to stand strong on my soap box and vent.  I do not understand why equality on all levels is such a novel concept here in America. We are suppose to be the leaders of the world, but yet we seem to be falling behind in the pack. Other countries already have gays an...

  • The wrong doings of "religious men"

     The vocational world today is faced with a myriad of issues. When you take the time to actually read an article on Yahoo News, AP, or any other internet news source, regarding religion, the same issue seems to be reoccurring, homosexuality. Homosexuality by no means is a sin. It isn't sta...

  • If you don't believe, then why ask

     If you don't believe in GOD, how and why do you expect GOD to believe in you? When you pray asking for miracles and they aren't answered you get discouraged. You begin to question GOD's existence. You even deny GOD any attention. But why should GOD help you? GOD doesn't ...

  • When There is no Tomorrow

    We must all take action today, because there could be no tomorrow to take action in. Each of us must open our eyes and look around us. Several countries are fighting the same battle, discrimination by color of skin. Here in the U.S. we see a battle ground taking place in Arizona and N...

  • Where Faith Goes to Die

     As a minister is it always our biggest fear to be prepared for service and on time to find a room full of empty seats. We dream of it happening to each of us. Why? Because this is a sign that faith has died. Faith in ourselves as a leader; Faith in our beliefs of our religion; Faith in all we ...
  • Time of Light

    I must admit that procrastination has kept me from actually completing this months discussion on time. I knew 3 days before the beginning of February what I intended to write but as the time drew near I couldn't find the words. The joys of the month overwhelmed me, as they should. We focus all ...
  • The Interfaith Creed

    The Interfaith Creed I believe in one God who goes by many names and is worshipped throughout the world. My God doesn’t care what name I use as long as I give honor. From this God came forth all humans who are created equal as brothers and sisters of this world. Each of us, no matter what we beli...
  • A Miracle...

    Do miracles really exist and if they do what really constitutes as a miracle? Does it have to be ordained as some large event that requires trumpets blowing and angels singing as the crowd looks on with shock? Is it required to only be performed from those beyond the physical body? If you answer y...

  • Season of Family

    The air begins to fill with the wonderful aroma of spiced cranberry, cookies baking in the oven, and the crackling sounds of a fire going. As we sit on our favorite spot admiring the music of our favorite holiday tone while relaxing to a cup of hot chocolate. This of course only happens in a perfect...
