Emerging Emergency
By Rev. Brian Kirsch
This past couple of months, I’ve seen Facebook posts and e-mails reminding me to “Emerge and Converge” to the 2021 ADL Conference. Back about forty years ago, I went through some communication courses with Scientology. One thing that stuck with me is the idea of looking up words even though I think or believe I know what they mean. Emerge: move out of or away from something and come into view. Converge: (of lines) tend to meet at a point.

Meditation
by Rev Rita Scheibeck
MEDITATION
I release all distractions and concerns of the outer world and turn inward toward my highest, best, and most receptive self. I remember and embrace my true and unique connection with Divine Source Energy and the Collective Creators. I rest, I relax and I listen.
(Allow time for meditation. )
I now allow, acknowledge, accept and affirm that this is so.

My Internship - September 2021
By Rev. Brian Kirsch
“I’m not a real intern, but I play one on planet Earth.”
~ Robert Young - Dr. Welby M.D.
I find myself having moments of living in the past. It’s a smug, know-it-all kinda thing. I think, and actually believe that since I have been on a spiritual path, that there are certain things that I already know. But I had an awareness the other day…I don’t know everything! I know, an adult moment! “This thing about me having to have a certain amount of time each month as an in…
Seven Simple Guides - September 2021
by Brian L Crissey
Life gets complicated, and yet the best guidance is often very simple.
The Good Man had some simple suggestions that would be good for us all to follow.
Judge not.
We can never know that we have a correct interpretation of everything that is pertinent to the issue at hand. So we cannot reliably judge. Clarifying information may arrive tomorrow, so don't judge others, or yourself.
Love others, including yourself, and seek the highest degree of Love in every sit…
Goldilocks and a Bear - August 2021
By Brian Kirsch
A twisted adventure of the highest degree of love
One day, a young woman (we’ll call her Goldilocks) ventured into the woods in search of a deeper meaning to life. While on her sojourn, she came upon a small cottage. She was intrigued as to why anyone would have a home in the middle of the woods. Upon turning the handle on the door, it opened. Looking in, Goldilocks noticed that there was no one home. So she let herself in.
Let’s hold the story here for a second…It seems …
