I watch hundreds of videos over the course of a week, probably far more than is healthy, but this one really gave me a source for hope in enabling me to see things in perspective with the dreaded backdrop of the scandals that engulf our world daily. I love watching Daryl Anka, who channels Bashar., a discarnate spiritual being well versed with what is going on in the universe. Here we see him...

Frome community in action
The Frome community networking event I attended Wednesday caused me to focus on many topics, the fruits of which will appear in the coming days. For more than ten years I have kept a daily diary, now running to something like two million words. What began as a simple record of events slowly became something else: a mirror. Over time, patterns began to reveal themselves — not only in the world...
An address (sermon) of weight and merit
Today I decided to attend the 10:30 am service at the Methodist church in Peasedown St John. Unlike the Church of England, Methodist ministers work within a circuit, meaning they rotate between different churches rather than staying permanently in one place.

They don't dwell on your past; they honour the strength you built from it. Their presence pushes you to heal, to rise, and to grow into the version of yourself you've always been capable of becoming. It's not simply a relationship. It's a partnership in...
Reflections on a Sunday Service
Our little ministry is always quaint, never predictable and intimate. That is why I love it. About 10 of us meet once a month on the first Sunday. I found myself thinking about Sunday’s address in the Methodist church afterwards, turning it over in my mind. If I had wanted to be critical, I could easily have listed several things that did not quite work — there was repetition, a slightly...
