The Myth of Salvation and Redemption – The Absurdity of Sin and ForgivenessThe whole notion of sinning has a unique psychology to it, and it probably began when someone came up with rules and regulations for conduct in society. In general, no-nos have been in place throughout history when different societies frowned upon certain behaviors that those in charge of that society considered uncool. Considering all the horrors that mankind has suffered and perpetrated on each other through the ages, it seems to me that He would have gotten a message by this point in humanity’s plight that it is virtually impossible not to sin and that we, as mere mortals, cannot or should not be held to such heavenly standards regardless of His intention with the angels.
Finding Your Soul by Healing SeparationWhen you think of all the problems in the world and within ourselves, if you think about it deeply it really all stems down to one thing – separation. Fear, anxiety, jealousy, depression, and so on, occur because the ego (separate identity) wants to express itself – it wants to matter, so no matter what the situation, it positions itself to be known, to be heard. The ego is the part of our mind that tells us “I am separate” in a million different ways, like victimization, vanity, unworthiness, guilt, shame and many other manifested forms. Likewise, our sense of separation creates resistance to others and their views or feelings. In order to be “right” our ego makes those that don’t agree with us, “wrong”. This separation expands out to all our relationships, and then to our communities, mankind and the world.

Broken By HIM!Contrary to what most believe, the loaves and fishes Jesus used in the feeding of the 5000 (which by the way DID NOT include the number of women and children, so the number was probably closer to 15,000) amounted to a kids lunch. Meaning these “loaves and fishes” were more the size of sunfish and pieces of pita bread than tuna and loaves of French bread.
Believe In YourselfI received an email a week ago from the brother of two students I had a few years back. He wanted to meet with me to discuss his career options. I love helping people clarify their direction so I set up a meeting with him at a local Starbucks. We met, shook hands and had a seat. I had lead a volleyball clinic his parents had attended in the ninety’s and taught both his brothers. He is the only one in the family I had never had the pleasure of working with. After a little, “How’s your family,” conversation I asked what he had been up to since high school. He shared how he had attended a culinary arts college in New York, learned Photoshop and video editing on his own and was now back in Culpeper figuring out what he was going to do next.
