How Could This Be Happening?

July 30, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“In all chaos, there is a cosmos; in all disorder, a secret order.” ~ Carl Jung We have all begged the question, “how could this happening to me?” more times than we care to count. The truth is life is unfair at times, and sometimes it’s downright evil. Our human instinct is to blame others… Read More »

God and UFOs

June 25, 2021 By Harold Long 2 Comments

“Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.” ~ President Ronald Reagan The US government and UFOs are making the headlines this week. “US military UFO report ‘does… Read More »

Why Settle For Less

June 2, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“There is no passion for being found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” ~ Nelson Mandela Why settle for less when the best this life has to offer is waiting for an invitation from you. We all come from different walks of life, and fate determines… Read More »

All That Has Been Given and Taken

May 3, 2021 By Harold Long 1 Comment

“Give and take is the way of the world. But when you give something with compassion and take something with gratitude, you are away from the world and nearer to the supreme power.” ~ Shunya You have probably heard the scripture reference,  “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.

Welcome Stranger, Please Come On In

March 23, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” (Hebrews 13:2). One of the first things we teach our children is “don’t talk to strangers.” Spiritually speaking, every lesson we learn about welcoming strangers is the exact opposite of what we teach our children.… Read More »

Spiritual Inheritance

March 5, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed.” ~ Patrick Henry Fate chooses our parents. When we are born, we inherit our parent’s genes. We may have inherited healthy genes or not so healthy genes. Unfortunately, we don’t… Read More »

This Land is My Land

February 28, 2021 By Harold Long 6 Comments

In Genesis, God grants humans dominion over the land and cautions people to take care of the land and all of the other creatures God had made. God clarifies the land has rights and deserves rest (a sabbath) in the same way as humankind. The land is not different than any other creature or thing;… Read More »

Buck Teeth Dialect

February 21, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

In East Africa live tiny creatures called Naked Mole Rats. They are not very attractive; they kind of look like nightcrawlers with buck teeth. What is impressive about naked mole rats are their social skills and language capabilities. Each naked mole-rat colony speaks its distinct dialect recognizable only by its members. This unique characteristic puts… Read More »

Muddied Body = Muddied Soul

February 19, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

Our soul is made up of our mind, emotions, and will. The soul is part of the body, and the body and mind are joined until death. Once we die, the soul departs from the body, and the body turns to stardust. Scripture tells us that our body will be resurrected when Jesus returns and… Read More »

The Birth of Evil

January 2, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

When we look around, we see the presence of evil everywhere. It is fair to question why evil exists and where it comes from. We know from scripture that Satan fell after the angels were created, and we know Satan fell before Adam and Eve fell short in the Garden of Eden. How long before… Read More »
