Posted on   by

A couple weeks ago, Berna and I went to a concert by the legendary Dutch orchestra leader, Andre Rieu. Because it was in his hometown of Maastricht, Netherlands, it was pretty special and spectacular.

Andre has a gift for making his music a powerfully joyful and fun experience for everyone. And this old world of ours certainly needs more joy and fun! As he says, “My concerts are about joy and love.”

If we said you were all meant to experience lives of joy and love, would you believe us?Read more

In 1977, Mother Teresa visited the four founders of the Foundation for Inner Peace. (As you may know, the foundation is the publisher of A Course in Miracles.)

What a great reply!Read more

Spirit

We often speak of love as the choice to see the divinity in all beings. Unfortunately, humans often define love narrowly, usually in a romantic sense. Of course, love is far more than romantic feelings.

As your Bible says, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” Luke 6:27 How many humans, do you suppose, live—truly live—those words?Read more

posticon Kindness and Caring

Posted on   by

In today’s world it’s often tempting to believe humanity has gone to hell in a big way. But there is much kindness and caring out there that never makes it into the mainstream news.

Spirit

We realize it can be challenging for humans to believe there is much kindness and caring in your modern world.

One glance at your mainstream news media will convince you, as Johnny says, your world has gone to hell. And each morning you can see more “evidence” of that.Read more
