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!

Many, more prominent leaders have called Glenn out for his statements, including Jim Wallis. Of the faith-based social justice organization, Sojourners. Everyone is asking the same question:.

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:. To CBS executives, it's OK to air an anti-abortion ad, but not an ad for a Gay dating service. Their response is, to be nice, pure balderdash. Yet be allowed to air issue-based ads that promote the executives' approved stances on extremely divisive issues. CBS has three choices:. 1 It can remove the anti-abortion ad.

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.

Living a Life with Spirit: Forgiveness

http://alifewithspirit.blogspot.com/2010/02/forgiveness.html

Sunday, February 28, 2010. This post is based on a presentation I gave two weeks ago at the Circle of Gratitude and Love Learning Center. When we hold onto grievances, no matter how large or small, we are attaching ourselves to negative emotions. Negativity drains the Spirit, leading to physical problems as well as mental and emotional ones. While the words on the death certificates may be different, many people have literally killed themselves by wallowing in negative emotions. Living in Spirit must.
