The Peace of God

by | Jul 27, 2017 |

In August 1997, I purchased my first copy of A Course In Miracles (ACIM) so that I could join a brand new study group that was forming near my home. At the time, I had only recently become aware of ACIM, and knew nothing of its actual teachings. However, since the summer of 1994, when I had hit my spiritual bottom in life, I had been engaged in a journey to “know the Mind of God”. It seemed a bold and perhaps naïve goal on my part. Who was I to presume that I could know such a thing? However,...

The Miracle of Disillusionment

by | May 20, 2017 | ,

Have you ever been disillusioned? Of course, you have. Everyone has. Disillusionment occurs in those life moments when something we had previously believed to be true is revealed to be an illusion, a lie. We had placed our faith in the world being a certain way, only to learn it is not that way at all.

by | Sep 8, 2011 | ,

When I was six years old, which, for the record, was almost 50 years ago, my family went on vacation to Lookout Mountain in Tennessee. We lived in Nashville at the time and I have two specific memory recalls from that summer trip. First, me and my middle brother Ron, aged 5 at the time, both had a severe case of mouth ulcers that resulted in us having to eat cold tomato soup and have our mouths coated with some kind of ultraviolet solution that stained them purple. The other memory was a...

The Miracle Of Speed

by | Apr 12, 2011 |

Funny thing about miracles, we tend to think of them as extraordinary events that we cannot explain in rational, scientific terms, so we attribute them to some sort of divine intervention. We consider them to be extraordinary in the sense they are outside the normal course of events. If divine intervention is the agent causing the miracle event, and if this "event" is not the norm, then by extension, it could be said divine intervention itself is also out of the norm and "extra" ordinary. For...
