Eternity Road: The Isle of God

by Terry March 10, 2010

One of the more astonishing voids in Christian theology is the abject conceptual poverty and shear lack of knowledge about where God supposedly abides: Paradise. There are just three mentions of Paradise in the Bible, and two of those are actually confused references to other places, while the third is a mere mention of Paradise [...]

The Pinocchio Principle

by Terry February 27, 2010

The party of “family values” has become the lock-step party of “NO!” values; has become the purveyors of lies, selfishness, cowardice, and designing hypocrisy. . .

Republicans are people too. They just don’t belong in government anymore.

Yesterday, Today; Always.

Yes. Yesterday was the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Today is our first opportunity since then,  to put his truth to work.
And tomorrow, and always.
Martin emerged from the crucible of his times speaking with the timeless voice of eternal truth, and he spoke it fearlessly until the fearful took it from us;  now is the time [...]

The Need For Awareness

by Terry January 17, 2010

IN THIS dissolving world when events are so quickly followed by events, in confusion, with personalities emerging out of the crucible, great and lasting changes are taking place, and you are naturally assailed through your sensitiveness by the insistent alarms and cold fears that people are subject to.  It is a moment when I would [...]

Make A Muffin Better

BREAKFAST DURING ZAPPADAN is special at our home, because we have these. “These” are fantasy muffins; muffins made from pure imagination. Imaginary muffins, each adorned with a lovely, tiny green rosetta— a small, seemingly insignificant detail, which, I tell you truly, make the muffin better.

Perhaps no other single family contributed more to the work of the mission of Jesus than that of Zebedee. The Zebedee brothers, James and John followed two other brothers, Andrew and Peter, into the apostolic core, and David Zebedee was indispensable as the organizer and manager of a messenger service for the Master’s work. Here then is The Urantia Book’s account of the apostle James Zebedee.

MANKIND HAS ALWAYS wished for a “sign” from the Gods, an augury of such indisputable, authoritative power as to sweep any and all doubts and misgivings aside. And man didn’t hesitate to ask when the opportunity arose to ask God straight out.

The Apostle Simon Peter

by Terry November 21, 2009

NO OTHER APOSTLE is known as well or remembered as often as Simon Peter, not only for his failed attempt to walk on water, and his confession that he thought Jesus was “…the Son of the living God,” but most notably his betrayal of Jesus early in the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus.

The Apostle Andrew

by Terry November 1, 2009

Saint Andrew Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652)
Jesus the Son of God was a man among men, and the men closest to him were twelve diverse, unique personalities of that day.  The Bible and apocrypha do contain some historical insights concerning these men, notably the doubting nature of Thomas, the inexplicable cowardice of Peter denying his Master;  [...]

Saturday Serentada

by Terry October 31, 2009

SPIRIT

I thought I’d found a reason to live
Just like before when I was a child
Only to find that dreams made of sand
Would just fall apart and slip through my hands

But the spirit of life keeps us strong
And the spirit of life is the will to carry on
Adversity what have I done to you
To cause [...]
