Does Being Social Media Butterflies Dumb Us Down?
The last time I looked, personal transformation was not on America’s top ten list of achievements. Social Media type goals of success, family, happiness, friends, wealth, respect, health, religious beliefs or spirituality, satisfying work – these took priority. Our spiritual institutions follow suit with the most successful and prestigious requiring little of... (posted by e 12 days 5 hours ago.)

The Tide Swings Left
Europe is setting the stage for an enormous, ground-swelling, worldwide swing to the left. The recent elections have put the final nail in the coffin of those politicians, bankers, financiers and corporate moguls who think they can control the masses by clever manipulation. The jig’s up. The old conservative president of France, Sarkozy, was called “Bling, bling.” The new liberal... (posted by e 18 days 18 hours ago.)

God and the Green Bay Packers
From the Bible, we learn all kinds of things about God. What we don't know about God, however, are things like; what does He do on Sunday afternoons? Since we are created in His likeness, He must like the same things we do. Doesn't that make sense? So, He must like football games. Go Packers! But what if God was a She; then what would She do on Sundays? Watch football games? Maybe not sooo much. Hmm, this is a problem... (posted by e 24 days 5 hours ago.)

What Are You Holding Onto?
Ajahn Brahm talks about the Thai monk who, when told he had a serious, perhaps fatal disease, began laughing. Could you do that? Could you? Could we honestly reflect our fearlessness and understanding of life’s chaos with an unplanned expression of relief and freedom, which could only be a result of deep insight within our hearts, without programming ourselves ahead of time to react in a...

Our Fifty Year Depression - The Results of Greed
Years ago I wrote about the coming fifty year depression. Today, I am as convinced as ever that it is here. The printing of money in America and Europe has temporarily veiled it, but that cannot last much longer. As investments become no more than wild bets, it’s only a matter of time before the bank goes bust. You might argue that a fifty year depression is an exaggeration, but because of...

Whaddaya Got To Lose?
John 12.25 gives us a puzzling warning: “The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” In a life that we try to fill with light and love, what could this possibly mean? Should we hate our lives and grudgingly grind out each day in toil and trepidation, or should we keep our spirits up and not allow any negative... (posted by e 31 days 4 hours ago.)
