		<title>Weekly Spiritual Thoughts March 8, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions,
I sometimes wonder how the spirit is going to lead me when it comes time to write these weekly spiritual thoughts.  Today was one of those days.  Slowly, as my quiet time unfolded this morning, it came to me.  I will write about how in life we are often called to unlearn what we [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Is Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is church
   Building
   People
   Community
Yes but there is more
   More than denomination
   More than religious affiliation
   More than a code of shoulds and oughts
Yes and there is even more
   Unconditional Love
   Unconditional acceptance
   Unconditional being who we are
Want some more
   Emerging and evolving all the time

		<title>Weekly Spiritual Thoughts March 1,2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spritiual Companions,
I may be a slow learner, but I recently discovered much in life is nonsense.  As I broke the word down further I saw it as non sense.  There are things in life that seem to make more sense than others.  The key to living life fully, for me, is to spent my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seeing Is Believing Or Is It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeing is believing
   Or is it
I see what I know is true
   But someone says are you sure
I see what I know is true
   But I say to myself how can you be sure
I see what I know is true
   But no one else sees it the same way as me
I see what I know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekly Spiritual Thoughts February 22, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions,
Did God ever invite you to get off your religious high horse?  I had that experience recently.  God is never critical, but rather invitational, so when I heard from Her she asked me who I served.  Interesting question in this Lenten time isn&#8217;t it?  As we face the temptations of our lives, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Change
   Why do we run and hide from the inevitable
      It always finds us
Change
   How did it get such a negative image
      It simply is what it is
Change
   Where did the thought it doesn&#8217;t have to be come from
      How can you affect what already is
Change
   What is the big deal
      Beginnings without endings can&#8217;t be
Change
   When [...]]]></description>

		<title>Humor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Humor
   Perspective changer
   Problem distractor
   Life enlightener
   Belly enhancer
   Face wrinklier
   Spirit revealer
Nothing like a good joke to call our attention
   To what is important
   To what is not important
   To the folly of our actions
   To the humor found in the folly
   To the silliness of seriousness
The wonder of a pun playfully calls us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions,
Yesterday was a big day in the life of New Orleans &#8211; our football team, The New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl.  You would think the big deal would be related to winning the game, but NO it is related to what winning the game means to the city and its team.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did You Ever Get Off Track</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you ever get off track
   Stopped listening to the inner voice
It is so easy to do
   Not worth getting upset over however
The track of life includes the time of getting off
   For it is a teaching moment
What have we listened to instead of our own voice
   Every time we discover what it is
      The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekly Spiritual Thoughts February 2, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions,
I was talking with a friend yesterday and we were talking about what is real.  One can get very philosophical about this or even religious, but that is the trap of the ego and I don&#8217;t want to get caught up in that today.  Instead, I want to ponder What is Real?  To ponder, [...]]]></description>
