I attended a service at my church, Creative Living Fellowship, some months ago where my minister, Rev. Michele Whittington, discussed the eight levels of pain. At the time of this service, I was deep in the throes of a gambling addiction and I could tell that I had reached the lowest levels of pain imaginable. [...]
I have been frustrated by the incivility I saw in 2009. In one sense, I have been telling myself that this frustration has no place in my new behavior as discussed in my last post – I Release, I Let Go (And Then I Replace It With Something Else). There is nothing I can do [...]
For the last Sunday of 2009, my minister at Creative Living Fellowship had the most wonderful, transformational service. I recommend that, at the end of 2009, you commit to releasing behavior of your own that you are better off without, and replacing it with one that could transform your life for 2010. I can already [...]

I had to rush to Wal-mart before church on Sunday to purchase a small gift for each of my two secret holiday pals. With my son Noah in tow, I rushed into the store. He said I was walking too fast, so even though he is six, I picked him up and carried him. The [...]

Today I picked up my son from after-school care and said it was his choice for dinner. Naturally, he chose McDonalds. My son is a naturally social kid. No matter where he goes, he seeks out others to play with. I wish I had his gumption when I was a kid. Now, Noah could have [...]
I have decided to go back to where I last finished the Workbook. Initially, I had said that I wanted to start from the beginning again because I hadn’t “done” the Course in quite some time. However, after chatting with my friend, Mark, he said that it really doesn’t matter where I read in the [...]
When I contemplate world troubles, I often think, “If only they could see things from my perspective, the world would be a better place.” Do you do that? I do it too much. Once I can change them to my way of thinking, voila! Better world! Whooooo boy! That is some serious ego-thinking there.

I had begun to feel that my posts were taking on a “fake” feel to them of late – hence, the one week plus break from posting. Originally, I’d intended to post something everyday. But, when I had nights where I couldn’t think of something decent to write about, or what I wrote didn’t feel [...]
