Truth is, I Prayed to God

Truth is, I prayed to God for wisdom, strength and courage. He sent my wife. I prayed to God that she may be happy. He sent us our daughters. I prayed to God that they would feel safe and loved. He sent us our dogs. 

Tonight I lay me down to sleep. I pray to God my soul to keep. Guide me safely through the night and wake me with the morning light.

Thy name is my healing. Oh my God. And remembrance of thee is my remedy. Nearness to thee is my hope. Love for thee my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing. And my succor in this world and the world to come. Verily thou art the all bountiful, the all knowing, the all wise.

I bare witness oh my God, that thou hast created me to know thee and worship thee. I testify at this moment to my powerlessness and to thy might, to my poverty and to thy wealth. There is none other God but thee. The help in peril. The self subsisting.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful for my life. Thank you for my wife. I am so blessed by my children and so humbled by your many gifts. Thank you for thy Son and for my parents. Thank you for all of my family and for my friends. Please bless them with wisdom, strength and courage. Please bless me to known thy will and to recognize your grace. Let me feel thy presence and Holy Spirit that I may always know You are with me. I pray for these things in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Emmanuel Christ. Amen.

Truth is, I pray to God.

Truth Is, Damaged Goods are Pefect

Truth is, damaged goods are perfect. If you feel like damaged goods fear not as this makes you human. What does not kill us does make us stronger. We grow. We heal. Our scars fade. 


When life has us on our knees. When pain or grief, sickness or sorrow, injury or heart break make life unbearable do not give up. If you persevere and live on you will experience a growth spirt. It may still hurt, but rest assured your growth in strength will match your need. You will gain what is needed to fill the void.

When bones break they mend. The point of fracture becomes stronger than it was before. When we are sick our immune system become more wise to the illness and we become more prepared to deal with it again in the future. When we face fatigue we do not only recover we grow stronger. Muscle breaks down, but rebuilds to new heights.

I do not mean to imply we always get better. If this was the case we would never die. What I mean is we are designed to overcome. We have been created to overcome challenges not endure them. Our whole lives we grow stronger in preparation of what comes next. When our hearts break we must learn to love again. Learning this prepares us for what lies next. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Love is what binds us together. Love is the power of attraction. Love is powerful. Love is God. God loves damaged goods. God loves you. Damaged goods are perfect.

Truth is, Life is not too Short

Thruth is, Life is not too short. It's that too much of it is waisted. A job expands to fill the time aloted for it. If we know the deadline we accelerate the pace of work progressively as the deadline  approaches. If you knew your life was going to end by the end of the year what would you do? Would you waste it? Live like this is your last year on earth. Truth is this might be your last day on earth. There is trulyno guarantee on how many days you have left. Do not count the days make the days count! What is it that you want to accomplish? Take a step toward it today. Then take another.

Truth is, the Universe is a Cohesive Whole

We live in a world of polorized, extreme opposites. In this environment, forced to accept this premise, we must recognize the polarizing effects inherent therein and recognize that between the individual and society, between family and community, between church and state, science and faith, even progress and tradition there exists no intransigent opposites except in the beliefs of men. The duality of man is very limiting. You are not outside the universe observing. You are indivisible from it.

Prescience exists and anyone can pull back the curtain and peer though the veil of Time. We can discover the future in the past or in our own imaginations and in doing so win back our consciousness of our inner being. We will know the consciousness of our inner being. We will know the truth. We will know then the universe is a coherent whole and that we are indivisible from it. 

See the future. Know the unknown. Be the universe.

Truth is, Life is a Canvas

Life is a canvas through which the universe expresses itself. The fate of all life is at stake in the fate of the individual. We are all individual expressions of the living universe. We are created to bare witness to this life and share in its creation. Witness to all that is. Artist in all that will be. Make your life a masterpiece of Self.

Many humans cannot bear very much reality. Most lifes are a flight from selfhood. Most prefer the truths of the field. Shouldering the yoke working contentedly until they die. Others use them for their purposes. Not once do they live off the farm and lift their heads and discover who they are. Don't be a member of the herd. Stand. Be your own creature.

Truth is your life is your canvas. Make it a selfportrait of your authentic self. Reality will be your home.
