By Tim Miejan | Published: March 1, 2010
As I walk my dog, Ghandi, through the nearby park, I feel alive. I witness the vast spectrum of color as the sun shines on a field of snow. We stop walking and just listen...first stillness...then birds sing a happy song. And, just as we begin walking again, Ghandi freezes, gazing intently in front of us at nothing [...]

By Tim Miejan | Published: January 1, 2010

The Gift from Heaven

By John Koloch | Published: January 1, 2010
Experiences, dreams and intuitive moments that are spiritual in nature have given me validations of the link between this human existence and spirit.

Two messages make me a ‘believer’

By Desiree de Angelise | Published: January 1, 2010
Shortly after I had completed the choreography and worship service of the cantata "The Seven Last Words of Christ," I was asked to choreograph and work with the choir to present another cantata for the same church.

My Spiritual Awakening

By Cathy Combs | Published: January 1, 2010
The question that has been uppermost in my heart and mind lately is, "How does it happen that I knew as a 9 year old that I am innately good?"
