I have run into many important religious men and women on my Journey through Life who, by the world’s standards, were way ahead of me intellectually and who, because of the pedestals society has put them on, stood head and shoulders above me… but like most of us, none of them have been able to…

Humiliation is a price too great to pay for many who, after spending a lifetime defending lies, begin to realize the Truth. My father was a religious man for the better part of his life and to the best of my knowledge he was a good one… although I suspect there were some skeletons in…

Twenty-eight years ago  I was in Olancho, Honduras, running a small clinic in the village of Yocon, I had been there for twelve years and was living rather comfortably, even though it was quite far off the beaten path and not the safest  place to be.

The enthusiasm of the congregation, as they began their worship with song, and the warmth of their acceptance of…

Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Although I no longer believe that the Bible is the Word of God, it does have many good stories, such as the story of…

Some of the most memorable and important days of our life, pass us by unnoticed, and it is only when looking back, that we can fully realize their significance.
