God, I wanted to talk more about Doreen Virtue’s and her husband Michael’s conversions to Christianity. They are convinced that they are helping us all by telling us to follow only the Bible, and they give the impression that I am talking to the devil now. I know, Lorelle. What do you think? I don’t think the God that gave me all that information about love could have been the
Saint Dominic I woke up yesterday morning singing the song, Dominique (Dominique) , which you may remember was originally a French song, by the Belgian Singing Nun, Soeur Sourire, but I was singing the English version: “Never asking for reward He just talks about the Lord He just talks about the Lord” I knew that it was time I wrote another blog, and I knew what the subject had
For my French class, I am required to write a short essay about a prominent figure in French history. I chose Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc), firstly, because she is a woman, and there are very few of those who are prominent in French history, and secondly, because it is claimed she spoke to God. Historians have often speculated about her mental health, and why the king of France would
I’m not sure what to celebrate about being Australian. I know there are a lot of things we can be grateful for. One is that we are girt by sea. As well as providing miles of beautiful beaches, it keeps any potential enemies at a disadvantage. Yet more and more people are becoming concerned, not that we are vulnerable from outside attack, but that we are vulnerable from attack from
I watched a National Geographic program yesterday entitled Explorer: The Cult of Mary. The program was about people who had travelled to Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where six visionaries had seen an apparition of Mother Mary regularly since 1981. One lady travelled to Medjugorje in the hopes of finding a cure for her terminal brain cancer. Although she died five months later, her mother said she had become more
We were watching a program last night about the Klu Klux Klan in North Carolina in the 1960s. It amazed me how easily it seemed that so many ‘good’ ‘God-fearing’ people were persuaded to join. But then the program went into a bit more detail about how recruitment was undertaken, and it all seemed to make a lot more sense. First of all, the KKK provided entertainment at huge rallies,
Jon and I went to see Fleetwood Mac in concert during the week. As I waited for the band to come on stage, I was feeling a bit sleepy, and I was wondering whether maybe I was getting a bit old for going to concerts. This feeling lingered at the beginning of the concert, but I also got the feeling that the band was a bit slow to get started,
In my blog a couple of weeks ago, God’s Truth, (http://www.lorelletaylor.com/gods-truth/) I compared the God I had been learning about in the Bible with Tomorrow’s God, who I had learned about from Neale Donald Walsch. This week I have been studying a book which has had me questioning my beliefs about Jesus’ life and death. The story of Jesus life is pretty well known by most people, even if they
I started a new course at AIHT during the week – Biblical Studies. After finishing reading Jesus: My Autobiography (by Tina Louis Spalding) last week, a channelled book in which Jesus told the true story of his life and mission, I thought I was finally ready to tackle a task I had been putting off. My father had been a Congregational minister before I was born (he had to give
Love your enemies - Kris10 Cartoons “Those who are good the sage treats with goodness. Those who are bad he also treats with goodness because the nature of his being is good.” (Tao Te Ching) “…Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Christian Bible - Matthew 5:44) “Revere your enemies as you revere your parents.” (Buddhism – The Perfect Enlightenment Sutra” “A superior being does not render
