Dear GOD … (08/05/12)
“If you want your prayers to be powerful, then you’ve got to pray in harmony with God’s gentle will … and you’ve got to pray with moving feet.” ~ anonymous Dear God, I sometimes feel deep sorrow and mourn … In such moments, please inspire me to be thankful for my glorious life. Dear God, […]
Jesus & Buddha — Friends in Forever … (08/05/12)
There are many things this Note might be saying, and each of you will have to decide for yourselves where its Wisdom leads … That having been said, it is important to state that these quotes are not meant to show that Jesus was a Buddhist or that Jesus learned from Buddhists during the “missing […]
John 12:26 … To truly FOLLOW Him (08/05/16)
You know, Jesus never once said “worship me” anywhere in the Bible. Indeed, he often went out of his way to tell folks NOT to do so (see Matthew 7:21-22, Mark 10:18, Luke 4:8, John 5:22, John 6:15, John 8:50-54, John 12:44 et al) … What he DID tell folks to do was to FOLLOW […]
Jesus & the Rabbis … (08/04/2019)

Hypocrisy rules … (08/04/13)
The last Pope just got right up and cancelled purgatory … All those years of traumatized mothers believing their unbaptized infants were suffering in limbo just tossed out the window. Now the new Pope can’t seem to make his mind up on homosexuality. I admit that these priests put on a good show, and yet […]
becoming a true Witness … (08/03/12)
The truly humble “Man of God” witnesses his sincere Faith with his caring deeds, not his pious preaching … she does so with her acts of gentle Kindness, not her harsh words of condemnation.
Matthew 19:21 … Knowing your Prophets (08/03/16)
Regardless of what might be said about the relative sins &/or merits of the Christian church, there is little doubt that its primary tenets come from the letters of Paul. And without delving into the easily provable Truth that Paul’s gospel (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 + Romans 10:9) was actually a self-made theology that directly […]
