WHOSE CHRISTMAS IS IT?

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

In an op-ed essay entitled “Whose Christmas Is It?” which appeared in the New York Times last Friday, the talented musician, Michael Feinstein, related in a somewhat humorous and also serious vein, that many of our most popular Christmas songs were actually written by Jews and then wondered aloud that Gentles must have written most [...]

BLOW ON THE COAL OF THE HEART (When the Heart is Full of Light)

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

I find as I grow older that I like the darkness less.   At my age, that reaction is probably not an anomaly.  The darkness of death is not so distant anymore, once you turn 60, so I prefer to be in the light.  I am more annoyed now when I awake in the morning only [...]

Minister’s Letter - December 2009

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

One of my old favorite writers, Sam Keen, wrote: The more you become a connoisseur of gratitude, the less you are a victim of resentment and despair.  Gratitude will act as an elixir that will gradually dissolve your need to possess.  It will transform you into a generous being.  The sense of gratitude produces true [...]

DOING THE RIGHT THING

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

In his recent book entitled Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do?  Michael Sandel of Harvard University attempts to explore and define the meaning of justice.  I highly recommend this book.  Basically, Sandel calls for more civil and moral discourse in our nation.   He states that the reason for the breakdown in civil discourse is [...]
