"One was my biological father, and the other the man my mother married after she divorced my father for cheating on her."My first father was a real player, a high-roller," Gregg went on.

Feline Wisdom: What My Cats Have Taught Me About Love
By
In February, many of us are buying poetic little cards, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, and proclaiming the deepest affections for our loved ones. Although it's wonderful to honor love on Valentine's Day, I believe these feelings should be celebrated every day, and not just with those whom we consider that "special someone." My cats totally get this. They don't need an official day to act more sweetly -- or more cranky, for that matter -- to me or anyone else. Cats may not have the opposable … [Read more...]

Is our experience of life as a victim or a victor a choice -- or our destiny? I would like to re-examine Jeshua's plea, "Oh God, why have you forsaken me?" and determine the truth of his experience as he hung dying on the cross, appearing to be a victim of the hatred and ignorance of the people of the world at that time.What is the truth of this apparent victim scenario? Perhaps it is a disempowering misinterpretation of this passage in our modern churches and interpretations of the … [Read more...]

Featured Topic: Techniques to Relieve Stress I kept a diary when I was young, like so many young girls do. It was a place to keep secrets and a place to bare my adolescent soul. But as I got older and started forming relationships with others with whom I felt safe in sharing confidences, I no longer felt the need to record my deepest thoughts in a diary. It seemed like such a childish thing to do.Then there came a time in my adult life, nearing age 50, when I heard a voice inside telling … [Read more...]
