Wise Words Wednesday with Rev. Deb - Week 2
The Clash of Spirit and Human Fear
by Rev. Vickie Spray
As a spiritual counselor, I have been a witness to the fear in humans that keeps us in the frustrating cycle of, “I can’t because…” And of course, not only have I been a witness to that fear in others and continue to be a witness, I have also been an active participant of that fear in my own life. It’s painful.
We, as humans, have this huge spirt inside of us that urges us to take our light out from under a bushel and we have a hardwired safety mechanism throughout o…
Breathing Peace
by Rev. Rita Scheibeck
Just breathe. Simply thinking these two words causes me to stop what I'm doing and refocus. If the day is not going the way I had planned, if my interaction with a friend or colleague is causing stress, if I am experiencing overload at work or at home, I pause and just breathe.
With each brea…

Practicing Principled Love
by Rev. Jayne Jarvis
As I grew, gradually it dawned on me that Love was the key. Love for life, myself and my fellowman. Not always easy tasks! My concept refined as I matured and realized what was required of me. I learned that reformative Love is not always a walk in the park or loving those who love you. But rather it requi…
I Open Myself
by Rev. Rita Scheibeck
As I gently open myself to Spirit, I allow myself to receive the wisdom and understanding of my Divine Soul in all its many forms; I need only take a moment to receive.
As I open myself to Universal Love, I know beyond doubt that I am capable of a pure and deep love for myself and for others. When anger or frustration block my unconditional love, I gen…
Learning and Sharing
by Rev. Jayne Jarvis
Back in 1989 while driving my son to his first year of college in Greensboro NC we stopped at a fast food place to pick up breakfast. He went into the store while I waited in the car.
Parked next to me was a vehicle full of chattering young men eating in their vehicle. As they ate, they threw out their refuse on the ground between our vehicles. It greatly annoyed me. I could feel the self-right…
The New Year Is Upon Us; Now What?!?
Well, the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season 2022 has come to an end, except for those of us who have said things like: "Let's get together just after Christmas since it's so hectic right now." For us, there's still a little bustle going on! Still, it's relatively quiet on the home front now, except for the clean-up required in the post-Christmas wrapping and decorating frenzy. Those of us who are fanatical about holiday de…
Winter Solstice – 3:47PM CST December 21, 2022
by Rev. Dr. Barb Rothwell
It is said that this time of year is a time of celebration for the passing of the darkness into the lightness of what is yet to come. A time of new beginnings, a time of reviewing our deeds of the past and preparing for the future. As the winter solstice approaches, our days of light have shortened, and our nights have lengthened until we reach the solstice.
This is the time of year when the darkness can feel like a heavy weight pressing down on us, limiting us of our…
