Standing Our Spiritual Ground
Dear Spiritual Family, Useful questions in today’s times, or any time for that matter, that might be asked are: How are you seeing the world these days? Are you more encouraged or more discouraged by what you see? How peaceful do you feel? How resolute are you in your...

Spiritual Optimism
Dear Spiritual Family, I (Rev. Steve) have almost always considered myself to be an optimist. That bent has served me well over these past seventy-five years. Yes, even as an infant, I saw my milk bottle as half-full as opposed to half-empty. 😊 There have certainly...
