As we enter the fourth week of Advent, we will focus on the truth that when we unite in our light and forgiving love, we can release thoughts of vulnerability and embrace the power of peace within us now to heal our lives and this world. In a world of much conflict and war, we often don’t feel we can unite, let alone unite in limitless power and peace, but that does not stop the fact that this…
The power of one mind can shine into another, because all the lamps of God were lit by the same spark. It is everywhere and it is eternal.”
As we enter our third week of Advent tonight, we will focus on the release of loneliness and the acceptance of life. As lesson 41, “God goes with me wherever I go,” says…
Each year, when my brother and I were growing up, my mom would hang our stockings on the mantle. She had a stocking made for each of us with our names sewn on in a fancy stitch. They were made a very long time ago, when this type of specialty work was very precious and not found in every store or mail-order magazine as it is today. Those stockings always represented to me…
Every year, as the holidays roll around, we here at Miracle Distribution Center pull out our manger to start a new Advent season of release! Our goal, of course, is not just to wait for Advent, which is typically seen as the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Instead, we are constantly practicing stepping back from fear and asking for Help to release those blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is our true power, our holiness. But when this season approaches, it…

It will soon be Thanksgiving Day in the United States. This is a day of gratitude and thanks, often accompanied by a feast of food! Now, while you may or may not be preparing food, many of you will enjoy food in some shape or form. This got me thinking about my favorite spiritual metaphor: a crock-pot…
The following fable tells of a time when humanity had become so evil and corrupt that the angels decided to hide all goodness and truth from them. Not knowing where to hide it, they discussed many ideas. One angel suggested that it be buried in the earth. The other angels disagreed, saying that with everything known about humanity, they would…
It has been over twenty years since my dad’s entry into eternal life. When it occurred, our son Jeffrey was six years old. I wanted him to understand this life-lesson in a way that was not fearful, so I explained that those who leave this physical existence are always in our hearts, and we can talk to them whenever we like. This simple and gentle explanation seemed to help him, and it comforted me, as well.
One night, shortly after that conversation, this explanation was put to the test…
A Course in Miracles poses the question, “How is peace possible in this world?” Maybe you are wondering about this right now. With all that is going on, peace may appear impossible. Yet we are assured that peace IS possible here because it is the Will of God. But, for this to happen, the world must be looked at differently. It says…“What the world is, is but a fact. You cannot choose what this should be. But you can choose how you would see it. Indeed, you must choose this.”
It is easy to lament all that is happening, but the focus of the Course is…
The Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP), the original publishers of A Course in Miracles, turns 50 years old this year. As part of their recent online video celebration, I recorded a message for them, reminiscing about my journey with the Course over 48 years of studying it and Miracle Distribution Center’s (MDC) 47 years of existence.
I honestly didn’t know what to share, because how do you encapsulate a 48-year history in a few minutes? When I asked the Holy Spirit to be my words to express my message, I was guided to this passage from the Course’s Manual for Teachers…
