Most people don't realize ministers are obligated to prepare and
preach one great sermon in their career. In looking over my
record of sermons, I noticed many "good" sermons, but an obvious
lack in the list of a single "great" sermon.
Perusing my list brought back some marvelous memories. I smiled
as I remembered each sermon and where I preached it. Of course,
I'm at that stage of life where the old memory juices don't flow
as deep as they once did.
Occasionally, I ran across the odd sermon ...

In 1978, I was ordained to the gospel ministry. To mark this
special event, my parents surprised me with a new 1977 Dodge
Aspen, the most spectacular present I ever received. It was
white, with a red interior and beautiful cloth seats.
My old car had so many glitches and problems I took it to a
psychiatrist. Finally, I donated it to the local junkyard and
put it out of my misery.
At the time, a woman who attended our church lived four blocks
away but insisted I pick her up for church each ...

We excitedly received a few packaged products from Essential
Living Foods, anxious to try them out on our American palates.
These were powdered forms of what is referred to as the "Lost
Crops of the Incas"--a purple corn extract, Aji Amarillo Powder,
and Camu Camu. We especially enjoyed the spicy hot Aji Amarillo
powder. With its lightly sour, warming taste, it has been
fabulous on brown rice, and eggs. The Camu Camu is also slightly
sour, but also slightly sweet, and seems to give bring out ...

The immediate origins of rock and roll lie in the late 1940s and early 1950s through a mixing of the genres of blues, country, R&B, folk and gospel music. Alan Freed, a disc jockey based in Cleveland, Ohio is generally credited with first using the phrase rock and roll in 1951, though the phrase was in constant use at time in lyrics of R&B songs of the time. The phrase rocking and rolling has its origins in slang for dancing or having sex. Many early rock and roll hits were re-writes of ...

Is there someone in your life that you are holding a grudge against? Is there someone who has wronged you or hurt you in any way and you want them to hurt just the way they hurt you?
Whenever we hold a grudge against another for any harm we believe they have caused us, it is ourselves we are actually hurting. Notice that term "holding a grudge." There is something that we are actually holding onto and unwilling to release or let go of. We know when we are carrying or holding a grudge because ...

Change is a mythological journey, where we hear the call; go
with uncertainty into unknown dangers, until we finally find our
way home. You can become what your spirit intended you to
be---whole, perfect and free. To free yourself, you must step
into the light, be brave and take action. Although you may feel
safe in the dark because it is what is familiar to you, the
safety is within the light. Where ...

Taking Back Your Power in Health Care
I was dismayed recently to see an article on the front page of
the USA Today on the crisis in the cost in health care.
Basically, the article was asking, 'Who is to blame for the
continual upward spiral in health care costs.' Is it the
doctors, the hospitals, the insurance companies or the
individual needing the health care?
I was dismayed because I had just come across a book about a
'medicineless hospital' in China that has been effecting miracle
cures ...

Urge for Wholeness, Love of Truth You might think this goes
without saying, but many people are content to live within the
social norms and pursue happiness through acquisition or fame or
power etc. In other words, "love of the world". If you find
yourself longing for something more, something deeper, something
real, then this quality is operative in you and you simply need
to honor it. If you do not feel a longing for completion, why
are you reading this? This flame of longing for Reality, ...
