01/16/22 John 13:35 “ By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another .” So, to follow in the steps of Christ, and to make ourselves obvious followers of that Divine soul, we must love one another. We must purposefully choose love, joy, and peace, so that we radiate the Divine to all others, building bridges between hearts. As 1 John 1:7 teaches: “… if we are living in the light of God's presence, just as Christ is, then we have fellowship with e

01/16/22 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Well happy New Year! Although things are now just beginning for most people, some Christian denominations are already nine days into Christmastide, or the Twelve Days of Christmas. Tradition for these beliefs tell us that Christmas is the first day of Christmas, although here in America, we treat it as the last. In America, most of us have fo

12/25/21 Over this season we have talked a lot about the gifts of the Christ, that of expectancy of hope, of peace, of joy, of love. Those are the gifts that we are given, and today I want to just focus on and think about for the rest of the time are the gifts we come to bring. For like the wise men they came to worship to adore, to bring gifts of value to this baby that they suspected was the potential for salvation was the king that they were looking for. So, what is it tha

12/19/2021 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love , I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent, on which we consider the aspect of love. We have looked at Hope, the expectancy of the rebirthing of the Christ Spirit within us. We have talked about the Peace that we receive as we release our concerns and simply know with certainty that Christ dwells within us. We have considered the Joy

12/12/2021 Psalms 4:6-8 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD. You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Today is the third Sunday of Advent, when we celebrate and ponder the miraculous nature of joy. A bit off the topic, but I’ve gotten away from drinking dairy milk and use oat milk now for ce

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! This is the second week of Advent when we consider Peace. We may have asked ourselves, “What is peace; where is peace?” We encounter many kinds of peace in our lives: peace of mind, peace of body; we pray for world peace, and seek peace within our own relationships and our very souls. We must look at peace from more than one perspective to truly understand it. We can look at

11/28/2021 This is the first Sunday of Advent. The other Sundays include Peace, Joy, and Love. Advent culminates with Christmas Day. During this season we take the time to ponder and consider four of the most powerful qualities brought to us through the potential of the baby Jesus and continue to be realized daily by acknowledging our Christ within. I used to be a bit confused by the celebration of hope. I was taught in school that hope meant to wish for something; to expect
