What’s Mine to Carry?

What is Mine to Carry? After 15 years in ministry, I find myself asking deeper questions about how I minister and how I want to move forward.

Freedom’s Unfinished Business

1776 Isn’t Finished Yet. It’s July 4, 2026. I woke up a bit sad. Well, that’s an understatement. I was very sad. There has been a cloud hanging over me all day. I will be honest. I am discouraged about all the goings on in our country. I, like many Americans and people from other […]

First Class…First Cause

Spiritual Pride?

Spiritual Pride What does it mean? Am I spiritually proud? I remember a quote by Ernest Holmes that hung over the door in our Center in Kapaa that said, “Whoever you are, be proud. You are a Divine idea in the Mind of God.” At first glance, this quote would seem dualistic, but when we […]

The Spirit Never Ages

“There is no stagnation in Spirit, nor should there be any in our idea of spirituality. To be spiritual is to create! The Spirit is alive, conscious, aware and active.” — Ernest Holmes A few days ago, I was on the phone with a family member who let me know how proud he was of […]
