Waking Up!: Gay and Christian and what is a sin?
http://universeofzen.blogspot.com/2011/10/gay-and-christian-and-what-is-sin.html
A blog about my spiritual awakenings and practices. I'm into the truth and the good news. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Gay and Christian and what is a sin? Being gay isn't a sin. However, it may be possible that judging people for being gay is in fact a sin. I think we've been taught a lot of things about the bible that are misleading. What changed my mind was scholars like Pastor Jennifer Wright Knust. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Labryinth at Ohio State University. View my complete profile.

A blog about my spiritual awakenings and practices. I'm into the truth and the good news. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Debbie Ford Workshop at the Omega Institute. I went to The Omega Institute. Over the weekend in New York City. I attended a workshop by Debbie Ford. It was truly a transformative weekend. I cannot really explain it but it was a life-changer type of weekend. It is interesting to compare these types of spiritual workshops to Christian church and to Buddhist sanghas. All of these different fo...

Waking Up!: Cycle of Life
http://universeofzen.blogspot.com/2012/03/cycle-of-life.html
A blog about my spiritual awakenings and practices. I'm into the truth and the good news. Friday, March 30, 2012. What surprises me most about my dad dying is how much I feel his love now. I feel loss but I also feel his love. Clear as day, stronger than ever. That was 31 years ago. In order for me to have the same feelings that I had on that day, you would have to take me to Mars and I'd have to love Mars. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Labryinth at Ohio State University.

Waking Up!: Faith and Death
http://universeofzen.blogspot.com/2012/03/faith-and-death.html
A blog about my spiritual awakenings and practices. I'm into the truth and the good news. Saturday, March 10, 2012. Basically, faith helps me live but as far as helping me die or helping me handle others around me dieing or face death, it isn't helping at all. I have a feeling that there is "life" after death in some capacity but I fear that death changes us in such a profound way that I wonder if we even recognize ourselves and our loved ones or worse, that it won't even matter.
