PEACE: United WE RISE!

We are living in a day where there is so much division causing ongoing hostility, violence, and death. Those of us who are God fearing must ask the question: “What part am I playing in the consistent divide and the division within my own community?” We all can be honest with ourselves and speak the […]

PEACE: Reciprocity Overload

How often do you hear — or have someone imply — that “you owe me”? We are so conditioned to believe that we must repay others for the things we’ve received. The whole idea of “paying it forward” means that you too will be blessed. Even when we deprive ourselves of something, we expect a […]

PEACE: The One Constant

Life is ever changing. In the midst of it all, there is peace in becoming one with yourself — because at the end, you only have you. We are the sum of our experiences and the people who surround us. Our history marks the path we travel, and it is important to know ourselves in […]

PEACE: Continuing the Legacy
