Kabir lived in India from approximately 1440-1518. He was a great religious reformer of his time. Kabir achieved a remarkable synthesis of Hindu, Muslim and Christian belief. The poem below tugged at my heart this morning, so I wanted to share it with you. It’s title is How Humble Is God? How Humble is God? God […]
Man Up: Focusing on the Right Things
The right thing might not be a spiritual thing…at that moment. The right thing might be focusing on being the best employee, employer, father, mother, brother, sister, partner, etc. When we do the best we can, without selfishness, dishonesty, and with compassion, we are building those traits and characteristics of honesty, compassion and selflessness. But […]
Man Up: Walking the Walk
It is not always going to be easy. Temptation will rear its ugly head, be it in the form of lust, greed, fame or one of many other ways. Humiliation is something we need to practice each day, or we might be humiliated. It is very easy to become proud of building a life of […]

It is always there; no one can take that from us. There in our hearts/souls is our saintliness. Jesus asks one thing. If […]
Happy Hanukkah
I think just about all of the saints and prophets from the Old Testament would be considered outcasts or madmen today. (That’s not to say they weren’t back in the day…) During this time of rededication and lighting of the candles, try to remember one of those who resembled the Light of God in your […]
Saints, Sages and Prophets
Over the next few weeks, I’d like to talk about saints, sages and prophets: who and what they are and how you could recognize one. Recently, Liz and I saw a movie called “St Vincent.” If you get a chance, I really think you’d enjoy it. In essence, without ruining it for anyone, it’s about […]
The Bell of Truth
I leave you with this prayer from a saint. When you are able to come from a place of witnessing…of observing…this prayer will ring the bell of Truth: Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone […]
