Forgiving others is a conscious decision to heal ourselves so that we can progress on our path, instead of being stuck in someone's stupid.
Forgive us, for we know not what we do
Forgive us, Father, for we know not what we do. Each Palm Sunday, I am even more sensitive to the fact that for the next week, millions will unknowingly demonize God and believe that they will be mightily blessed for doing so. I'm sure you're wondering: How in the world can someone demonize God and... Continue Reading →
The greatest cloning feat in human history
At one time, the condescending attitudes of those who believe that God solves problems by drowning, burning, torturing and threatening to excessively punish His children throughout all eternity made my blood pressure rise. I've been met with outright hostility and judged as a hell-bound heathen because I steadfastly refuse to believe that God would do... Continue Reading →
A Bag Lady’s Holy Week
During this, the holiest week on the Christian calendar, we will attend vigils, wear hoodies to church, and post cathartic sentiments on social media in protest of the death of this innocent child and its subsequent cover-up. Then we will get down on our knees and thank God for sending another innocent young man to be slowly and sadistically tortured to death so that the guilty could be forgiven.

Another dramatic demonstration that you can’t hurt someone else without hurting yourself. Dignity is priceless--and losing it is something that Elin Woods obviously feels that she can now afford, along with millions of other disposables.
What to Do When Someone “Does You Wrong”
The next time someone does you wrong, think before you react. Remember the Law of Attraction/Reciprocity: Whatever you do will be done to you. You will attract souls who mirror your beliefs and behaviors. They will treat people the way you treat people.
Why it’s not as bad as you thought
C’mon now, we’ve all had crazy moments. Some of them might have been crazier than others; but all of them had one thing in common: They did not reflect the God in us. So who are we to get mad or judge somebody else’s crazy?
Your Forgiveness Coupons
Most of us believe that we're granting someone a favor when we forgive them. In reality, we're doing ourselves a favor: We're freeing ourselves from the grip of any negative energy associated with the incident. When we forgive others, we also are making a conscious choice to defer to what some call the Law of... Continue Reading →
