Rev. Robert's Inspiration for the Journey

Happy is as Happy Does is a song released by Kenney Chesney in 2020. This idea is a central focus on the path to becoming happy. We know that most folks are looking for the secret to leading a happy and fulfilling life and maybe this is the beginning of an answer. The Buddha is […]

One of our Thursday night class members brought a new idea to me from Charles Fillmore’s book, “The Mysteries of John.” In John 2: 1-12 is the familiar story of the first miracle of Jesus when he changed the water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana. I admit that I took the story […]

There is a spiritual answer to mitigating today’s problems and issues that show up in our lives. Jesus shares it with us in Matthew 5:39 when he tells us to “not resist evil.”  This is a spiritual suggestion, not a religious or moral rule or commandment. What I mean by that is that this is […]

Interesting question that opens up a dialogue about our true nature. We know what we know, we have a pretty good idea of things that we know we don’t know and then there is that area of things that we don’t know that we don’t know. Jesus in John 14:12 clearly says: “He (she) who […]

This is a quote lifted from the famous story of Joseph and his coat of many colors found in Genesis 50:20. Joseph was talking to his ten brothers who had sold him off to a band of merchants, on their way to Egypt, for twenty pieces of silver. The whole story of Joseph begins in […]

Ready for the question? “Are you susceptible to the negative influences of other people or are you susceptible to the positive influences of Spirit?” The answer to this question can give you an […]

Psalm 91:1 very clearly tells us that: “They who dwell in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” One thousand years later, Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of Heaven is within. Here we are today, worried about a plague and all the doom and gloom that […]

Paraphrasing a statement from a Course of Love on page 370: “For every being there is a natural state of being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love. For every being existing in time and material form, there is also an unnatural state of being. This unnatural state we call fear.” Hebrews 11:1 says, […]

Sometimes we get so fixated on something we have planned and anticipated, just knowing that it will happen, that we forget to turn it over to Infinite Intelligence that knows all things. The personal self, the material person, the self that thinks and plans and has pictures of the way things should be, is the […]
