IFAW: Our Hearts go out to JAPAN
March 12, 2011 by
Our hearts go out to the people of Japan. The magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck near Japan’s east coast spawned a ferocious tsunami that swept away buildings and vehicles, sparked numerous fires, and inundated vast swaths of cropland. The human tragedy is profound: hundreds of people have already perished and that number could quickly rise as rescue efforts continue. Scores of homes were destroyed and much of the impact area will likely be without power for some time. Of course, … [Read more...]

March 5, 2011 by
SHIRLEE HALL - Spiritual Healer, Poet, Author HAVE YOU EVER OBSERVED AN EXORCISM? A few years ago, a man came to me for healing help on his hip. Moving my hands over his body, a rather startling thing occurred. Seven of us had just finished our group meditation and the idea of an earth bound entity speaking to us was the last thing we expected. My 'patient' began to address me in a very gruff and condescending voice. The strange voice announced that he was a pawn of … [Read more...]

WOMEN in RECOVERY – Hope
February 13, 2011 by

The amount of research of various aspects of recovery continues to grow. Early research by Courtney Harding (1987) and others challenged the belief that severe mental illness is chronic and that stability is the best one could hope for. They discovered there are multiple … [Read more...]
ADELE BUTLER – Women of Spirit: Keep Hope Alive!
February 12, 2011 by
Yes, we shall overcome—someday. I am thankful that I wasn’t living in the US while segregation and blatant racism were the norm. I cannot imagine not being able to sit wherever I wanted to on the bus or drink from any water fountain or have to go to areas that said, “For Coloreds Only”. I don’t know how I would have fared during those times. Would I have turned the other cheek or would I have stood up for my rights? I would like to think that I would have done the latter. When Jesus … [Read more...]

DESPAIR surrendered to FAITH – Madison Ellis
January 17, 2011 by
DESPAIR surrendered to FAITH.... Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.' His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for … [Read more...]
