Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NRSV

 

Seeking a Simple Faith in a Post-Modern World

The last thing I need is a complex religion. That is why I am seeking an elegant faith – a simple and beautiful understanding of God that is not dependent upon intricate theologies and dogmas, a practice of Christian spirituality that is not stifled by rules and outdated traditions, an inclusive understanding of Humanity which is focused on the giving and receiving of God’s love as the ultimate creative expression.

Find the Honey

Find the Honey

Where do you find the sweetness of life? Start a journey toward wholeness and creative power where you will enjoy every minute of every day.

My prayers are with you today; that on your path these words will be a fresh scent of encouragement to celebrate yourself and a sweet inspiration of freedom to experience life in the fullness of God’s creative power.

My Mission

In my writing and ministry I seek to help people find wholeness by living in the context of who they truly are. I want my readers to be released from limiting shame into a creative life of deep joy; embraced by God’s all inclusive love.
