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?
Answered Prayer: When Heart and Soul Agree
“Letting go” is not a physical ploy disguised a spiritual tactic to get what we want. It is a divine way of allowing our hearts to agree with our souls. It takes great faith to stop praying for God to genuflect to our human will and start humbling ourselves to honor Divine Will. It takes great strength to still our thoughts and shut our mouths long enough to hear and observe the direction that the Divine is revealing to us.
Is God incomplete without you?
"God is incomplete without me." I tried it on for size. It looked good and it felt good. In fact, it made me feel that I was good.
Why We Consistently Create Disappointment
How does the Law of Attraction work in its 21st Century incarnation, exactly? Does it enable us to attract our every desire 100% of the time? Shouldn't it, if it's called a law? What if we all want to have lots of money without working? Can we leverage the Law for that? Shouldn't we be able to?

Is God Your Father or Your Daddy?
As a Father's Day gift to God, let's read more than one book—or vow to read the one we have more carefully. All the evidence that it’s time to stop blindly accepting other people's answers and start asking our own questions is right there.
God as Valentine
Most of us don't think about what we believe. We believe what others tell us--and, in many cases, we are discouraged or even threatened if we don't blindly accept their beliefs. In this space, you are encouraged to think, analyze and ask yourself... What do I believe--and why do I believe it?
What is Mid-Life?
Upon returning to the lovely gateway of the Beliefnet Community today, I spotted a question asked by one of my neighbors: "Is it a mid-life crisis?" he wondered.

Are We Digesting Conflicted Fruit?
Today we celebrate the greatest lesson demonstrated by perhaps the greatest teacher the world has ever known, a Jew named Yeshua.
