Good Clean Fun in the Modern Age
In today's media-driven society that often promotes unhealthy
activities for kids and teenagers, encouraging some good clean
fun is becoming a top priority for many parents. Encouraging
kids and teenagers to participate in church youth groups,
family-friendly activities, and rewarding them with fun and
challenging activities are just a few ways to build a strong
character, and develop a strong sense of self.

When Two Become One - The Gift of Sacred Marriage
In previous eras, the nature of sacred marriage was connected
with duty, or related to practical necessities. Nowadays, as
human relationships transform and become more conscious, the
nature of sacred marriage enters a whole new domain of
possibility, that is related to two souls who become One in God,
without releasing their individuality or unique identities.

When Faith Is Tested
This is a time of monumental transition for our world, and each
of our lives is being affected by the larger planetary
transformations that are happening. Many of us who are on a
spiritual path and living a spiritual life feel dismayed by the
great intensity that is manifesting in our lives, our
relationships, and even our physical bodies.

The Healing Presence of God's Love
God's love as a healing presence in the world is growing
stronger daily. Many people are not yet able to perceive this
growing presence of light, because there also exists at this time
a thick cloud of negative energy that is surrounding the Earth.
This acts to obscure both the perception and the consciousness of
people, and to create feelings of isolation and despair.

Your Divine Soul Purpose -- Manifesting Your True Life's Mission
When we begin to awaken spiritually, we ask 'why am I here?',
and 'for what purpose did God create me?' For some, an inner
understanding of divine soul purpose emerges relatively early in
the spiritual journey. For others, knowledge of soul purpose
eludes our human embodied self for quite a long time,
necessitating a period of 'walking in the desert' with little
apparent support. God created you so carefully, and uniquely
for the sacred purpose you embody.

The Blessing of the Present Moment
At each moment in our daily lives, we have an unprecedented

even if we are not consciously aware of it.

The Challenge of Manifesting at this Time
One of the most challenging aspects of spiritual life comes when
it comes time to live the spiritual realizations that we've had,
in our day to day realities. As we are confronted with the daily
tasks, choices, opportunities and challenges of life, many
obstacles can appear, seemingly out of nowhere. These obstacles
can create discouragement or even despair, especially in those
who are new to the spiritual path.

How Can Bible Study Help Kids Grow Up?
Bible study is probably the number one way to keep your kids on
the right path, and keep them out of trouble. We can't watch our
kids all day and night, and we can't keep bad influences from
coming to them. But what we CAN do is make sure they know wrong
from right. This will help them when they face problems and major
decisions on their own.

The cross has broad significance as a marker of not only
religion, but also of cultural identity. This article discusses
the ancient symbolism and history of the Celtic cross, which
incorporates Pagan views, in contrast to the Latin cross, which
represent the life of Christ. With the inclusion of the simple
circle, the Celtic cross embodies symbolically the unification of
opposites and balance.

Inner Healing
All people have experienced childhood hurts, albeit some more
than others. None-the-less, we have all had them. Whether it is
a lack of children's developmental skills, a lack of adults
recognizing the need to help them, or both - childhood hurts do
not go away on their own. We can stifle those wounds at times,
accuse and try to convince the perpetrator of their error,
exhaust ourselves emotionally, cry a spell and think it's better
now, etc. But, it isn't.

Humbleness: Should It Be Humiliating?
In this day and time, it almost seems as if kindness, politeness,
consideration, and most of the lessons we were taught as children
were tossed out of the window one day and replaced with a new set
of rules. Could it simply be that children these days are born
with a defect, lacking self-control? Or are they just not being
taught the way they should be taught; parents blaming modern day
hardships and circumstances? It is true that the children being
raised today will determine the shape of our future, but in the
meantime, whose example are they following?

If I Were Called
We, often, hold high expectations for our spiritual leaders (as
does God) to teach, minister, give guidance and direction, to be
the example, live what they preach, and to be available, willing,
and able to meet our need. We truly are blessed when we have
such a person in our life.

Queen Shopper for a Day
Though there was a bit of snow still left on the ground, it was a
bright sunny day. Looking outside the window, the sun's glow
compelled me to draw closer to the window, to bask in its warmth.
Oh, that was so neat! It felt like Spring had arrived!

Financial Freedom
Having been raised/programmed with all the principals of a
virtuous woman, Granny also lived in our home (a survivor of the
Great Depression). Additionally, with four siblings, eight to
nine people lived in our house at any given time. Parents being
in mission work, we were also the 'home away from home' for
uncounted numbers of leaders and missionaries.

Fruit Inspection
If we believe we are called to be Fruit Inspectors, then might we

Greater Than Any Storm
If you have ever known someone that would ask forgiveness
(sometimes, even before the church), then turn around and do the

Happiness
We convince ourselves that life will be better when we have a
baby or another one. When we finally get what we thought we
wanted, we find ourselves exhausted. Then, we conclude we will
be more content when the children are older.

What's the Point? Our Rebellious Teens
It makes no difference if you are the perfect parent. Adults get
no recognition for whatever part they did right. In fact, because
the teen feels controlled, they do not see that anyone else did
anything right.

Mercy, Not Sacrifice
We have heard it said, 'I don't smoke, curse, or chew; or run
around with women who do.' Will somebody please give them a
cookie ... to shut them up? Isn't that a bit like gloating,
'I'm saved and you're not'? I mean, really.

Ties that Bind
When growing up, if there was a sibling dispute, mom had the
perfect solution. She would refuse to choose. Instead, mom
would bang our heads together. She'd say that it takes two to
fight ~ so we both got it. Now, that really hurt! But, it
worked, every time. We'd hush, immediately. Though we didn't
like it, we didn't dare say another word.

What a Gift!
God dwells in our heart. Thus, our calling involves following
the passions God has placed there; not making everyone else
happy, not meeting other's demands, not fulfilling every request

You Can Only Save Yourself
If I let my mate have their way, they may treat me better. If I

If I am completely obedient and submissive, they will get saved.

How Can God Have a Baby?
When people have studied the Bible and then challenge our faith,
we need to see if our faith actually lines up with the Bible. And
once we examine God's usage of the term 'begotten', we see
promotions; not a baby.

Better Than a Miracle
For those whose lungs have always been healthy, breathing is
something we are most likely to take for granted. Yet, observe a
preemie whose every next breath is another miracle - or witness
someone's exhaustion, when in need of a lung transplant, who
truly knows why they call it 'laboring to breath'. Then, we
just might get a glimpse into the fact that, if we can breath at
all, we are a miracle, too.

Bless the Children
Previous generations where raised under the premise that children
are to be seen and not heard. If they altered in teaching, the
next generation was heard. But, their words weren't taken
seriously; as adults always think they know more than children
do.
