It’s Easter Monday and I feel a little sad because I can’t find a church service to go to on the day Jesus rose up out of the grave! Because if Jesus Christ died on good Friday, and was in the grave for three days, then he was resurrected and returned to heaven on a... Continue Reading →
When I was young I hated the government in the US. It sent boys over to Vietnam to die like little toy, green plastic soldiers. Then it moved on to Afganistan. Then to Syria and now to Ukraine. War relentlessly continues and big corporations profit from war's needed machinery. In this 21st Century things will... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time (LOL), there was a boy who wasn't right in the head and had convulsions, grinding his teeth and foaming at the mouth. From childhood, he kept falling into campfires and deep water trying to kill himself. His father thought he was possessed by an evil spirit and sought out a well-known... Continue Reading →
Photo by Kira auf der Heide on Unsplash ♥ Why do we make such a big deal out of Christmas, and what does it all means? Do you know how to activate a personal powerful faith?

My young brother-in-law came up from his home in California for my husband's funeral. After picking him up at the airport, we drove through a small jack pine forest, and he asked, "How do you make those trees grow so tall and straight." A tourist from the flat wheat land in Alberta came to visit... Continue Reading →
I thought I knew the Easter story until I prayed and sobbed on the stone slab that Jesus' body once stretched out on. Until I read the black and white details in the first report of his resurrection... It was a woman – who first saw Jesus Christ alive after his crucifixion on the cross! Can... Continue Reading →
"What has Christmas got to do with Petra?" you ask. The Three Wise Men who came from the East quite likely took this same caravan road in search of a unique child born to be a King! But these are tourists in the photo! I took this picture a few years ago when we visited Petra in Jordan. When... Continue Reading →
The man had an otherworldly appearance and he asked me, "Do you know what this Christmas season is really all about?" "Of course I do," I said because I had grown up attending a church. "Ah... but have you ever viewed the birth of God's son from heaven's point of view? "Well, no." "That event was... Continue Reading →

I discovered logical reasons for how it occurred and I'm definitely in awe of her courage. Mary gives us one of the great examples of real faith... Continue Reading →
The Celestial Proposal/Chapter 2 "Who is the Jesus that Western religions venerate so much? What was he really? Most agree he was a man who existed in flesh and blood in and around Jerusalem at the beginning of the first century AD. He came to be known to humanity as Jesus Christ."1 I wondered about...

Why are people so uncaring  and others shower us with kindness? It's because:  how we act gets reflected back. If we could be as pure and serene as this wilderness mountain, our lives would manifest this beauty too! When we're kind and caring that is what reflects back into our reality. But when we're selfish and... Continue Reading →
What would our world look like if everyone spoke THE TRUTH? DO YOU BELIEVE what social media says anymore? It's difficult when every media outlet twists the events of the day for national political gain, or worse, for corporate monetary greed with hidden agendas. We have no idea what reality is in any matter, because of... Continue Reading →
 In our war threatened world “we the people" are weary from our egotistical political leaders carving up the diversity of countries like it was a board game. Isn’t it time we come together and think of our selves as one human population? Yet how can we have world peace if even our religions can’t agree... Continue Reading →
It seems obvious there will be no peace on our planet until all people agree on a set of universal moral laws. Our justice system in the western world is based on the Judeo-Christian code of ethics. But what if you are Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, agnostic or atheist? Are there higher moral principles that we can all... Continue Reading →
I am not usually one who takes an interest in international politics. But I'm a writer and I do research. And I'm tired of hearing about wars, so let's talk about Afghanistan in the news right now. The US has been in that country for 20 years. By the end of 2019, the US military... Continue Reading →
Some of you gobble up chocolate bunnies for Easter. I know you do! Usually for Thanksgiving we have turkey and for Easter - a crown roast of lamb, (if you're not vegan of course)! How in the world did this choice of food get chosen for the Easter Holidays and Passover season? I love this picture. A perfect little... Continue Reading →
Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Pexels.com Reposted by Jane Catherine Rozek My hands are in the air, and I can feel some powerful presence swirling around and flowing into my heart.
