You are Love   It is my fifty-eighth day in a row for this blog. I love doing it and it is a challenge to come up with something new each day. Decades ago I would prepare for a sermon and I would quietly whisper to God “what do you want me to say?” I…

Defending Your Life We are having fun watching the Albert Brooks film “Defending Your Life” about the afterlife and Judgment City.  In many traditional religions there is the philosophy that we are judged for our performance while here on Earth.  I don’t believe that is so. I do not believe there is some anthropomorphic being…

Saving the world Last night, Lou Ann and I went to see the movie “What the Health” for the second time. If you get a chance to see it, please do. I think most people who see it, would share my feelings that this is a film that many should see! We live in a…

New beginnings Our grandson, Bhima, now known as Alurasha, left our home today after being with Lou Ann and I on and off for four years. I was happy for him to be going out on his own.  That is such an exciting time for young adults. Doing what they desire and not having to…

Take a risk Risking is an inherent part of life.  We risk every time we drive our car or fly in a plane or jump in a swimming pool.  Most of us do not have lives of high risk and yet each of us takes interpersonal risks when we interact with one another.  We risk…

PEACE ON EARTH BEGINS AT HOME What is the cause of all the turmoil on planet Earth?  The cause is a lack of self esteem.  Most of us have damaged egos as a result of well meaning but damaged parents, siblings and teachers.  We didn’t learn basic respect and responsibility for our actions.  We often…

Let’s share good news Back in 1997 a team of us got together in Sedona and decided to create a different kind of television show.  I had been part of a brainstorming session with Gloria Reeder of IBI.  During the event it came to me that most of, if not all, television talk shows were…
