Time on Our Hands

Many of us are finding extra time on hand with stay-at-home orders, quarantines and social distancing. This offers us the opportunity to look at the work we do, are doing, or have done in light of the spirit, in light of our destiny and God's will. How will the work we do reflect back on who we are as a person? How we do that work is even more meaningful than the work itself at times; is it done with a smile, with kindness and compassion, with joy?

We do truly want the fruit of our hands and labor to reflect the love, light and joy of the Holy Spirit in all we do and to those whose lives we touch. This is a part of our path to wholeness; when we are balanced and whole, we can do the work of God.


Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:31

If during this time on hand, you are feeling dissatisfied with your work, are searching for more meaning or feeling a lack of purpose, turn to the bible wherein you will find the guidance and teachings that you need to begin to work for the will of God. Proverbs 31 is the best place to start with the Virtuous Woman. Do not be discouraged if you do not know right away, God has a way of leading us on the journey we need to get us to what we are supposed to be doing. It takes, time, effort and patience, but you will be given the way.  "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

Enlightenment and Awakening Easier Than We Think

After decades of seeking enlightenment and awakening, I now understand that these things; these ideas, these concepts, have been so over complicated and made to seem as if they are a state unattainable to most. It is made to seem that that they are only to be achieved by the great masters. Though nothing is black and white, on the one hand, there may be degrees; but on the other hand can you be only partially awake? Partially enlightened? Either you are or you are not. As long as I was seeking to be, I was not, for seeking kept me so busy that I could not settle within myself long enough to wake up. And both terms are as simple as that: waking up, allowing the light of God to illuminate our spiritual sight. There are no fireworks, it is not some un-achievable level (like some religions and philosophies would have us believe). It is a simple matter of waking up. All that is required is to allow God to move into your “house” and let the light shine. This begins with asking Him

Words Across Time

Words linger. Whether it is audible, something spoken to us or something we read, words linger in our minds and stick like glue. Words are one of the few things that set us apart from all the other animals and living things, we can speak. Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr
