“As we look back in time with our marvelous telescopes, we are not viewing our current reality, we are viewing what was. As we sit in our local gravity pit, we are swimming within what is, wondering as to what will be.”

“There is a sweetness to the month of October and season fall in general that brings our attention homeward and inward. Could it be the trees going to sleep, cool dry temperatures that delight our morning or daylight hours slipping way causing our focus to converge on how short and fragile life really is. All these things conspire to usher in a season of reflection on relationships and the things that give our lives meaning. What a great loss to our human experience should we ignore or squander this the autumn of our lives. Embrace it, feel it, study it, it is indeed one of God’s great gifts to us.”

“All war is a tragedy and the scourge of humankind. In spite of all the history of death and destruction that precedes us, we still are unable to walk the path of peace and not kill each other. Military equipment manufacturers and the industrial complex as a whole are the world's largest industries.
As the phrase in the song cries out ".. when will they learn, when will they ever learn..'
In the season of Peace, we find ourselves stumbling dessert in a desert of hostility and strife.”

“Our Creator has fashioned for us a world that is beautiful. Moments and miracles that take your breath away surround us every second of every day. Opportunities to love and enrich your spirit are the signature of a loving God that extends His ever-evolving creation beyond its beginning.”

“The fear over the dangers of “Artificial Intelligence” ignores the bigger need being the creation of "real" intelligence within the community of humans. The intellectual ability to eliminate conflict, to create a lasting peace, to spread love, empathy and a common purpose throughout our human family and to overcome illness and pain. We have much to be thankful for, however the balance sheet of destruction and misery created by our pettiness and greed obscures the good with each bullet fired in anger and each town that is destroyed by igniting a missile. We need to be working on "real" intelligence and compassion, we have been living far too long on "artificial" intelligence.”
