Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the […]

  “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.

Think about this: What if there was a world where, whatever your spiritual belief, or non-belief, you would be accepted—with love and friendship; with no agenda, no creed. Would you want to be part of it? What if there was a community in which freedom of belief coexists with ethical and spiritual living. Would that seem like a good idea? […]

 We can only develop people out of who we are, not out of who we want to be.  That said, we may encourage those coming up after us to learn from our mistakes, but all too often, it is the human tendency to refuse such advice.   Regardless, the path to victory is often paved with struggles.  One might say, […]
