What God Desires

What God Desires

God resides within us and in our humanness, it is we who come and go; yet God is always there telling us each time we return,” I am so glad you are back”. 

Loving Kindness

Loving Kindness

The origin of the Loving Kindness meditation is in Buddhism. As a Christian, I appreciate the chance to pray with this meditation. It reminds me that all the great religions teach compassion, including Jesus who lived compassion in his daily life. Jesus taught compassion when he said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31)

Welcome Difficult Feelings

Welcome Difficult Feelings
