About Me:
It is my hope and prayer that our presence, participation and interaction on this site might help all of us to help the world move further along the path of spiritual growth, awakening and peace.
God has made us and this world perfect and loves us all unconditionally. God's grace and my faith is everything I need.
All life experiences are opportunities to grow. There are no mistakes only lessons. As I awaken to the holy spirit within and let go of my attachments to earthly desires, I will make better choices that will lead me closer to union with God.
Love is the energy and essence of God and the force that unites and connects all of us together. Love is the foundation of all truth and the light that shines through the darkness of fear.
I work to understand Jesus and his teachings which reveal the example of the holy life and the unversal love of God. I also acknowledge and study the saints, masters and holy people of other traditions who have increased my understanding, my awarness of this Universal Life Force and helped me along my spirtual path.
Although I participate, I am not locked into the dogma, creeds and exclusiveness of religion (That's why I am here). However, religion does offer structure and opportunity for worship, community, communication, service and relationships to advance God's kingdom.
Happiness comes from within. Nobody or no worldly thing can bring me happiness that will last. My faith in God's love raises me above my earthly desires, misfortunes and fears.
“Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage and wisdom moves the world.”
-Ammon Hennacy (Catholic activist, 1893-1970)

“There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” Rumi
“The thought manifests as words; the word manifests as deed; the deed develops into habit; and habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let is spring from love born out of concern for all beings.” The Buddha
“Do all the Good you can,
by all the Means you can,
in all the Ways you can,
in all the Places you can,
in all the Times you can,
to all the People you can,
as long as Ever you can.”
