Your Daily Spiritual Stimulus

During this financial crisis, I’ve heard a great deal of conversation about “making do with less.” I suppose that many of us, at some point or another, have gotten caught up in the game of consumerism: more clothes, a bigger house, the latest cell phone…the list goes on forever.  I’m not saying that consumption is…

Where is God in the middle of this financial crisis? Is this recession happening because we being called to learn and to live our lives differently? These are questions I ask myself. Of course, I don’t know the answer to these questions in any definite way, but I do have my hunches. Since whatever is…

With so many people in financial crisis, I’ve been thinking more and more about what I can do to help those in need. Doing this blog is one way that I hope to be of help, but I also wanted to give more direct service so I volunteered to do a Money Coaching workshop at…
