Religion ... uses guilt to keep people in line, even telling them that they'll burn in Hell if they misbehave."

First Things


Today I will put first things first. I will stay close to what keeps me connected, physically and spiritually.

Daily Tests


Holy Father, you are our rock and our fortress.
Guide us through the burdens of our days.
Upon You we lay our faith.
Help us be strong when we are weary and steadfast through our daily tests.
You are our strength.  Amen.

Take It, Or Leave It

Summer Blessing


Lord, let us seize the moments of this day with a zeal for loving justice. May we offer grace to others as we grow and mature in community. May we also be a summer blessing to others in your sight. Amen.

A Personal Program


Today I am growing in my awareness that my mind, body and spirit need exercise and nourishment. Through prayer and meditation, exercise and inspirational reading, I am developing a personal program for physical, mental and spiritual growth.
