So it was with John the Baptist, the martyr Stephen, the apostle Paul, John Kennedy, John Kennedy Jr. They have all joined with countless others, the gallant march with God’s greats who went to their glory with their work undone, their business unfinished, their dreams unfulfilled, and their lives incomplete.

What is keeping us in the boat when it comes to believing in Jesus to heal our body of sickness and disease? We know what it means to “man the oars,” but to step out of the boat in faith that Jesus will heal us is another matter altogether!

The universe is much more than the ego can contain but the ego does try to limit what it does not comprehend.

I’d like to dispel a few myths. You don’t have to eat mung beans and wear ugly shoes to be spiritual. You can enjoy your physical comforts and wear Jimmy Choos, because, as Marianne Williamson says in Return to Love, “there is nothing pure or spiritual about poverty!”

Those five words are from a song that I remember hearing a long time ago. It may even be the song’s title. I dunno. For those of you who don’t speak casual English, the word “teejus” can be translate...

Spirituality has been a subject of debate for thousands of years. Science, though, has been reluctant to tread this field with any enthusiasm. In the future, will science reach closer to God than any religion ever has?

When do you pray? Prayer is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, the communication factor with God that opens us to grace, hope and the very love of God that transforms our lives. So, when do you...

How does God see you? Does He like what He sees? He loves you 100% and loves everything about you.

You were chosen by God, created to fulfill His dreams and purpose. Often times so much focus is placed upon ourselves and our own objectives, we forget the reason for which we were created. Just as you dream, He also dreams. Long before you were created, God had a dream and from this dream came your marathon. For His purpose, you were created. Throughout the Bible, God refers to the race and gives a specific training recipe for victory. Are you ready to be a champion for Him?

The reasons for keeping a journal. Excerpts from other's ideas about journal keeping.Be in tune with yourself.

It doesn’t matter what magazine or newspaper you pick up these days, there it is! the evidence of violence; the killing of innocent people, the terror of aggression and destruction. How do we, as caring, compassionate, conscious people maintain our inner peace in the face of war? Is it responsible to turn from the glaring headlines, close our eyes, go within to connect with that place of inner peace? What if those headlines have stirred up our visceral fear reactions and we are disturbed and angry? When outer circumstances create worry, helplessness and judgment how do we shift our inner attention so that we send peaceful thoughts, rather than more anger and hatred?

What is the meaning of life? While we are in the business of getting, we should gather the true currency of the soul. We are here for a purpose. And when our intention is pure, we ascend to success in this life and the next.

Just like Abraham of old, we often try to bring about results through our own efforts.

As Christian’s we are often very independent. We try to do everything and often feel we do everything. Are there times when you are frustrated, tired, irritable, and have no energy? I am not selling you a vitamin supplement, so don’t worry. I have recently realized this past week how little I turn things over to the ultimate Power Source - God. Lord, I cannot do this in my own strength. If the children argue one more time - I will scream. God, help me to know what to say without screaming. Lord, what is your agenda for me today - you know I all ready have one figured out.  Do we see the many requests of our children as divine interruptions or just another thing to do on our list?

People often struggle with life because they have unbalanced thinking and schedules. They permit their negative emotions to terrorize them into thinking they are doomed to failure. Negative emotions must be balanced with positive ones, doubt with confidence, difficult tasks with easier ones, and work balanced with what that you enjoy. Accept who you are, find a job that fits your style, believe in yourself, and do not let others discourage you.

The problems associated with stress and anxiety continue to run rampant. Crime, alcoholism, suicide, obesity, heart disease, drug abuse -- the list goes on and on -- can at least to some extent be traced back to the effects of stress and anxiety on individuals and communities. Unless we begin to tame the stress and anxiety beasts that exist in our own lives we cannot hope to begin to control the larger societal issues that these two killer syndromes enflame.

Today, I looked out the window while the world slept and watched the moon. It is the water of our lives. It causes tides, and menstrual cycles, and emotions and stock market crashes and fills our hospitals with mental breakdowns when it's full. We, in our mind driven lives forget the moon. We listen to the guru talk about self mastery and think we are the master, and therefore accuse others of deliberate unconsciousness, but we are wrong in this. The moon pushes and pulls us, and we must not fight her. We must learn to play with her. This is the human heart.

Stress is a major contributing factor to many modern day illnesses. It is linked to things like heart problems, insomnia and a whole range of other negative conditions. In industry it leads to reduced productivity and at home it leads to tension with our loved ones. Stress is almost like a cancer to our happiness and wellbeing that gradually just eats away at us.

Colors affect us all and their impact depends on our vitality, state of mind and state of health at any given time. Exactly how color can bring about change in us may not be known precisely, yet color is such a readily available tool for treating stress and other disorders that it deserves to be used more frequently.

Anxiety treatment can help with the management and control of the symptoms. It is possible to implement anxiety treatment independently but if that does not work then you can always opt for professional assistance.

Do you get the Sunday blues, thinking about the weekend being over?
