Spiritual images and themes are like chemicals, if they aren’t put together in the right way disaster can result. Most people don’t realize the power of the psyche and the diverse forces in it. Matters related to evil, occult, and demonic phenomena are not to be toyed with either in life or entertainment. This does…
To do it God’s way is to be obedient to the process that is trying to unfold in your life. It means following the Tao and honoring the path of your soul. It means making yourself accountable to a power greater than yourself. It is the only life you really have to live. Everything else…
It was a bright sunny day on a Wisconsin lake whose name I have forgotten. I was sitting in an aluminum boat with my older brother and a fishing guide named Gary. We were casting our lures into the water some 70 feet offshore when I observed a bright green snake moving towards the boat.…

The bible story of Jonah and the whale helps us understand the reality of destiny and its activity in our lives. Life and God sometimes ask us to do things we don’t fully understand.
