I was married for twenty years, twenty-one years ago we were enjoying a second honeymoon. Mary Jo sold television commercials for the local cable company and had earned, not won, a five-day cruise. We both anticipated this vacation like kids waiting to open their Christmas presents. Sunday finally arrived, we flew out of Pittsburgh, into Florida. Mary Jo was holding my arm with her head on my shoulder with folded hands, she had never flown and was scared. The ship set sail for Nassau and stopped at a small island where we looked at the local vendors' merchandise. Strangely, the last item Mary Jo ever purchased was a cross. On Monday we exercised, walked around the ship, went swimming and sun...

TruthToday is 11/15/2024, early in the morning, and I'm experiencing an “Ah, ah continuing moment.” I’ve dedicated countless hours to writing eight manuscripts about A Course In Miracles. I’m deeply familiar with all its teachings, having carefully thought them through to ensure clarity for others. Despite this, I’ve struggled to help readers fully grasp my points. While Course students understand, others seem to miss the mark. I hope this changes starting now.You must agree that the subject of God is the most mysterious topic of all. After years of thinking and writing about this subject, I’m going to attempt and make everything I know simple for you to understand. My paren...
