In 1830, Sarah Josepha Hale published a poem called “Mary’s Lamb.” We all know it today as “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Now what in the world could a children’s poem have to do with our month of gratitude? I’m so glad you asked! Ms. Hale was much more than a poet. She...

One of the more involved activities I have undertaken this year is to realize, for myself, a new consciousness. A new realization of my relationship with God. I’ve already taken over a dozen Unity courses, I read dozens of books, I’ve watched hours and hours of...

One of the most popular phrases I hear is "when we get back to normal." I rarely jump in and disrupt whomever is speaking, but the truth is that NOW is what is normal. Normal never has been what is behind us, nor is it what is ahead. The reason so many long for a...

I suppose, if I’m honest, one of the things I like most about Jesus is that he was a rebel. Throughout the Gospels, we learn that Jesus did not always follow the rules. He didn’t fast according to traditional Hebrew law, nor did he cow-tow to those in charge just...

Sometimes, I feel like someone who is on a great expedition. As we have taken this journey this month of exploring how I’m working through understanding my relationship with God, the trails we’re blazing are not trails that are new or untrodden by previous...

Today, I want to share with you what I feel is perhaps the most powerful aspect of our existence. This is the third of four parts of what I am working through as a way of understanding my relationship with God. If you recall, two weeks ago we talked about both the...
