Living a Life with Spirit: A Christmas Celebration
http://alifewithspirit.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-celebration.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. Later today, I'll be performing at a Christmas party in our area. Let me tell you a bit about it. Every year, Robin - of Robin's Bar and Grill - puts on a Christmas party for the area's children. Each year she entertains dozens of children from low-income families, along with their parents. She pays for everything, the food, the gifts, the decorations. everything! This is one way that Robin gives back to her community and serves others. Snowball fights in the parking lot!

Living a Life with Spirit: Religion and the Media
http://alifewithspirit.blogspot.com/2010/01/religion-and-media.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. Religion and the Media. Today, I read a report about CBS news and their religiously based advertising policy. In short, here's the point:.

Living a Life with Spirit: Overcoming Fear
http://alifewithspirit.blogspot.com/2010/03/overcoming-fear.html
Saturday, March 06, 2010. For many, fear is a controlling factor of their lives. Sometimes, it's the same for me. Overcoming fear can be a long, difficult struggle. Even when you get to a point that you can say you have "conquered" it, you will face opportunities to prove it by overcoming again. (and again, and again, and again). One thing I do to continue "conquering" fear is to use as a meditation passage the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, from Frank Herbert's Dune. Repeat entire passage as a whole.
