TOO MUCH TALK!

By -

I saw the miracle of the sun twice this week. Blazing in front of me, beckoning to me. It warmed me and reminded me that God is watching. I knew it was a sign that wonders would unfold, if I stayed the course and concentrated on divine guidance.

Nothing shuts out the direction of the spirit more, than too much talk...Talk drowns out the gentle whisperings of the spirit while service to others produces spiritual longevity.

It's funny that this is my theme, since I'm supposed to keep my mouth shut as much as possible over the next couple of days. My gum surgery went well...too easy in fact...at the hands of my gifted friend, Dr. Kristi Soileau. I've never had so many shots in my mouth at once, but yet feel no pain. She's amazing. I have to admit, moments before the procedure, I got really nervous. I thought I'd made a mistake not taking a nerve pill to calm me down for the two hour procedure. So, I decided to offer up my operation for the many suffering souls...including my friend who is undergoing cancer surgery today. As God would have it...I made the right decision not to pop any pills...before or afterwards, because the procedure went so smoothly. Kristi says the pain will come within the next day...but-that's okay.

You see, God is always showing us he is with us through the little things and the big. Preparing us for the future plan that is unfolding one day at a time. Putting people in our lives that will prepare us for our spiritual path. Sometimes it costs us physical discomfort, money or loss of Loved ones. Sometimes obstacles are put before us, so we can change our course and strengthen our momentum. But clearly, through it all, in the silence of the guiding spirit, we are lead to lead the kind of lives that God has designed for us, before we ever entered the womb.

The miracle of the sun always reminds me of the eternal benefit of souls that rely on the silent guiding spirit of God to make it through the challenges of this life. No words are spoken, no prophecies revealed...only the pulsating energy of the spirit, silently but vividly, lighting up the sky with a powerful message of Love... from a God that is definitely watching over each and every one of us.

I'm going to enjoy keeping silent, savoring the moments...seeing what God has in store for me without too much talk, in the silence of the heart. I can't promise I'll be very good at it...since I like to talk to people...But I'll give it the olde college try!

SUBLIME AUDACITY!

By -

I have all the signs and symptoms of something I just learned about today...Sublime Audacity. That's right...I have the audacity to believe-that anything is possible-anything at all-with God. In fact, I believe that there is one cure for all the world's ills...and that cure rests with -and in God. In a world of material wealth, individual desires and carefully orchestrated managed care...When people search the world over for the answers that never come, the healings that rarely happen and the hope that always gets dashed by the next person...I believe that there is only one steady stream of consciousness that always gets it right...and that is God. I've personally experienced it time and again and every time I look elsewhere or seek some other solution, I always come crawling back to the staying power of my higher power...Because let's face it...Once we have the audacity to tell anyone-anyone at all that God is responsible for all the good in our lives or the Love that

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

HRUSHIV UKRAINE: APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED MOTHER

By -

Twenty four years ago today, April 27, 1987 the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Hrushiv Ukraine with a warning and words of consolation. She came on the Feast of the Ascension, exactly one year after the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl saying "Do not forget those who have died...Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world." In 1990 while producing a television documentary in Ukraine, I visited Hrushi and interviewed a handful of people who had witnessed the apparition above the church of the Holy Trinity. In all, some five hundred thousand witnesses claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary over a four month period. Mary apparently told them she came to thank the Ukrainian people because they had suffered so much at the hands of a raging lion who had been prowling around seeking whom he could devour. She said their suffering would come to an end and one day Ukraine would become an independent state. She then urged disciplined, Christian fortitude, "
