Today, I need to get personal, and I need to get real. I could ask the question, "What does it take to become a minister?", or make a comment regarding hypocrisy, and how most people (including myself), will make complaints about what other people are doing, but refuse to see it in themselves. Today, I'm … Continue reading Getting Real

Living Up to Expectations
For most of my life I tried to live up to other people's expectations: family, friends, teachers, etc. Most of the expectations I was expected to live up to were also directly conflictory with other things I was being told.

The Power Of…
When I was a child, I used to tell my mother, "When I grow up, I am going to have...)", and I would list off all of the things I wanted for my life. In true fashion for her, my mother would find ways to denigrate every thing I said, and tell me why I … Continue reading The Power Of…

Shifting Consciousness
When I was a child, and into my teenage years, there were certain subjects that were considered almost taboo. Trying to discuss subjects like the paranormal, paganism, psychic abilities, miracles, etc was in many cases likely to get you ostracized or shunned. At the very least, the people you tried to talk to would likely … Continue reading Shifting Consciousness
