Division and separation is an illusion we subscribe to just like any other fiction. But that doesn’t make it real. We each have what it takes to make manifest the unity that is inherently already there. You are sitting on your own bridge kit. Start building! Read more
Today is the pope’s official last day. He retires. The papal conclave will begin the long process of voting on the next pope. All men. An enclaved conclave. I was talking with a seminary student today. She’s from a church that didn’t support her decision to enter the ministry. Because she’s female. A very small percentage of women from her denomination seek ordination, and their chances of finding a church that will receive their ministry are small. I heard a... Read more
So Pat Robertson advised one of his viewers who wondered if there were evil spirits in her thrift store clothing that… well… better safe than sorry… cast those demons out! A friend on another site of mine said that we couldn’t blame her for anything… that it was her Goodwill sweater talking!

Especially for baby. You can acquire a print of this cartoon! Read more

To find your own land and stake your own claim requires you to become a pioneer. And pioneers know loneliness. Pioneers simply understand that in order to enjoy their own lives to the full they are going to have to leave the herd. Read any of the accounts of pioneers, such as the fascinating Canadian explorer, David Thompson,... Read more
I love the few childhood stories of Jesus in the canonical scriptures. The ones from the gnostic gospels are fascinating as well. He was just a kid. Finding his way. Trying to grow up. Like us. Read more
