Dear Ones, 

As we move through the days and weeks ahead, let us ask for greater understanding of the outpicturing of God’s divine principles in our lives and in our world. Part of this understanding is recognizing the presence of fear and grief, and providing the reassurance and comfort needed for our hearts to heal. 

Be assured, that regardless of the scary statistics and newscasts, we are never outside of God’s love. The human race, and the entire earthly realm, are making a transition into the next…

When President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, schools and businesses were closed for several days. We had only 3 TV stations and they broadcast details of the shooting, and the funeral, nonstop. 

All six of us were at home and very restless. One afternoon,my father walked into the living room and pointed his finger at my brother Rick and myself (we were the two oldest, ages 11 and 13). “You two, please join your mother and me in the kitchen. You are going to learn how to play pinochle.” Thus began a…

We are sharing an amazing time in history—a time saturated with unforeseen benefits and unexpected blessings. Many of us are grateful for a “time out” from our otherwise overbusy schedules. On a global level, this time serves as a “reboot.” We shall return to our lives refreshed and inspired, having learned how to take care of ourselves and others. 

There is no place where God is not. There is no time outside of the divine. Our true challenge as we move through the days and nights ahead is to remain…

The fear that accompanies a health crisis such as the coronavirus can be quite destructive. It diminishes our joy and standard of living—and has a negative impact on our immune systems. 

Following are some suggestions for improving your peace of mind during the upcoming weeks: 

Most importantly, put God first. Go to God in times of prayer and meditation and be open to the comfort and guidance that are always present.

Unity’s 5 basic principles provide a simple, yet profound, framework upon which to build both spiritual understanding and a program of spiritual practices. These basic principles can be stated as follows: 

There is only one Presence and one Power active as the Universe and in my life. God the Good. 
Our essence is of God; therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ. 
We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in Mind…

Are there times when your dreams seem to be in a holding pattern, and you keep running around the same circle looking for a way out? Times when you feel stuck, stalled or short-circuited? If so, sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey! 

In our high-pressure, goal-oriented society, we sometimes forget that life unfolds according to divine timing. There is a natural rhythm to our progress, with periods of high accomplishment followed with times of inactivity. Know that there is real work…

What does a church offer? It offers many things to many people. Folks come to church to experience a sense of belonging to a community, to share in social activities and learn ideas that help with the challenges of life. And sometimes, they receive a complete overhaul of their beliefs and their lifestyles. 

As James Dillet Freeman expressed in A Blessing for a Church: “May we who come here not only find out about God, but find God.” How would it change you if you really believed that God…

Entering the holy season of Advent, we allow ourselves to become focused in this sacred journey, this time-out-of-time. As we approach that Holy Day, we feel united with others who celebrate around the world. We feel our connection with our own ancestors--with the countries from which they came, with the special holiday traditions that they shared. 

We realize that no life is lived alone; each one is spun from the web of culture, of belief, of blood. Each person adds his or her own light, and just as the…

I recently read that it’s not what we don’t know that is the problem. The problem is what we think we do know—the embedded, unrecognized, unquestioned assumptions that color our perception of our lives and our world. These foundational beliefs were garnered throughout our childhoods. Until we realize that we are living one limited version of life, to the exclusion of an infinite number of equally available versions, we continue to blame the world for our troubles. 

One of my early wakeup calls came when I…
