Truth is more than a mental exercise.

The human mind is always searching for truth. The mind guides us through books. It interprets our experiences. It limits us based on our exposure. The mind searches to find truth, not realizing that truth was never lost. Unfortunately, truth cannot reveal itself in a mind that is busy with personal chatter. That chatter refers to what you think we need or want and what you say. Unlike truth, your mental chatter may have nothing to do with what is real.

The only way to find truth is to go deep within the self and to live from that consciousness and understanding. The truth is the reality of who you are from the inside out, and that is something we rarely think about.

Truth is the joy of living, of being, of having a connection to everyone and everything, without thought or malice or condemnation of any part of you. Truth is the spirit of life.


I live in the light of truth

God is as dependent on you as you are on Him.

One good way to know whether something is working is to actually see it work. No matter what your philosophy, regardless how much
you believe it, if it does not produce, it is worthless.
God is the same way. We can talk about Him, sing about Him, pray to Him, for Him and about Him, but if His glory is not produced in
our lives, what are we really saying? The only way for God to be seen is through our lives. Our lives must reflect all the things
we say God is. We are His hands, feet, eyes and voice. Our lives reflect who and what God is.

Are we living a happy life? Are we thinking peaceful thoughts? The only way for God to demonstrate who He is, is for us to do it
for Him. We must demonstrate what we know about God in the way we think, talk, walk and live. God is peace. God is strength. God is mercy. God is forgiving. God is all knowing, all powerful, abundant, radiant life. God is love.
 To know God is to be like Him. All else is a figment of your imagination.

If I want to know who God is, I look at me.

A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.

If you had to tell someone in ten words or less what you stand for in life, what would you say? It might be noble to speak of the liberation for all people of color, but what do you stand for? Perhaps you would take up the cause of starving or abused children, but what do you stand for? The freedom of political prisoners? Decent housing? Equitable distribution of food and natural resources? An end to all wars and warlike aggression? Or perhaps its education?

It is good, honorable and very noble to have a cause, but before you can do that, you must be able to stand on your own two feet. More battles are lost in this life to weary soldiers than are lost for a lack of cause.

What do you stand for? How about peace of mind, radiant health, truth and honesty, viable use of your God-given talents, gifts and abilities, or maybe just plain old love. When you are standing on well-cared for and rested feet, you will be victorious in any cause.

I Stand on the principle of me first.

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

There are many times in life when we want to do, know we should do, may even know what or how to do, but we don't. At these times we are relying on the body. We must realize that the body cannot move without the spirit.

Spirit is the force behind all motion. No matter what situations we face in this world, spirit is always with us. That presence is always guiding, protecting, loving us-to ensure that we do the best. The love of spirit will inspire us and never abandon our needs. Spirit brings divine knowing and order so that we can express strenght, peace and power in every situation.

When we are fearful or feeling alone, we can turn within and affirm the love of spirit. We need never to rely on the physical body alone, for we are always in the mighty presence of spirit.
Closer than breath, nearer than arms and feet, spirit will move the body when we ask and obey.

The guiding love of the spirit within conquers all without.

There are three kinds of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, those who wonder what happened.

I was thinking about it but...I was going to but...I want to but...I wish I could but...These are the excuses we give for sitting on our butts. We tell ourselves we are waiting for something to happen. We tell ourselves something is missing. We tell other people we will do it, whatever it may be, but we never do. If you think what you need is not there, find it. If you cannot find it, make it. If you cannot make it, find someone who can. If you do not have the money to pay them to make it, get it done on credit. If you have no one to borrow from, ask someone else to borrow it for you. If you do not have credit, get some. If you cannot get credit, go out and do something that someone will pay you for so you can pay for what you need.

There are no "buts" so big they cannot be moved. Once you move the "butt," everything else will follow.

I would sit here, but I have something to do.
