A Glass Half Full

A true champion: Zachoriah Williams
Column: The Baha'i Road

Guest column by Dru Cederquist for The Baha'i Road:

Too hard to look: trial by body
Column: wavelength

Do you remember the first time you heard your recorded voice being played back to you? Your voice sounded foreign; it was not the voice you heard when you spoke aloud. I am like that when it comes to seeing myself in pictures.
You're in my heart; you're in my soul
Column: Love, God and Sex
May 7 2008 07:17PM
Sex, for the sake of exploration, does not nourish the soul. Soul nourishing sex grows as partners recognize their shared identity as Love itself.
Baha'i elections take it to the top
Column: The Baha'i Road
May 7 2008 04:03PM

Why Baha'i --Ed LaBonte, Baha'i since November 2007
Column: The Baha'i Road
May 7 2008 03:57PM
After being an atheist my whole life, I decided, as part of a midlife crisis, that there had to be something out there that was better than nothing. Secular humanists say you have to make your own meaning, but when you’re faced with a gigantic universe th
Why me? Well, why NOT me?
Column: New Houses from Old Bricks
May 7 2008 12:50PM
For people who have undergone life-changing losses, they often talk of a point of acceptance, when they began to ask “Why NOT me?” That response works on self-doubt, too.
Is ignorance ever bliss?
Column: bluebonnet
May 7 2008 11:19AM
There have been times in my life when I would have answered yes. But if our head is in the sand, how will we see the solution that could be right in front of us if we were looking for it?
Without God there is no justice
Column: God said what?
May 7 2008 10:25AM
Without God there is no justice. That’s short and to the point. And that has become my firm belief during my three years in seminary. But let me explain what I mean and what I do not mean by that statement.
How Affirmations Are Evil
Column: Outing the Goddess Within
May 6 2008 10:37PM
I'm sharing this letter with you today because it's a perfect illustration of how affirmations can be used for "evil".
Can you have an "On Purpose" divorce?
Column: Writing down your soul
May 6 2008 05:31PM
When divorce happens you have a choice: Turn left and fight for every dollar, possession, and position. Or turn right and dig to find meaning and purpose. One way is exhausting and expensive. The other is full of hope.
On Being Grandma
Column: Woman at the Well
May 5 2008 09:13PM
I never expected to be a grandma. It never occurred to me that I might be a link in the chain of life, blessed not only with two wonderful sons, but with their children as well.

May 5 2008 05:05PM
May 10, 2008 is Pangea Day, when a program of visionary speakers, short film and music will unite the world in compassion and tolerance. The program will be broadcast by internet, television, cinema and mobile phone.
Jeremiah Wright, Jeremiah Wright, enough about him already
Column: All Paths
May 5 2008 11:02AM
Forget the Cable TV talking heads and all of their talk about Jeremiah Wright and his impact on the 2008 Election. When I talk about the issues with friends and many other people all I hear is gas, jobs and mortgages.
Are You an Innie or an Outie?
Column: Unclutter Your Life
May 5 2008 08:39AM
You can't hit a target if you have don't have something to aim at it.
Good and Evil
Column: A Heretic in Babylon
May 2 2008 07:09PM
A Question of Good and Evil. Does evil exist or is it a construct of the human mind?
Sacred Betrayals
Column: Love, God and Sex
May 1 2008 02:12PM
Betrayal in relationships can be a blessing in disguise. Betrayal brings your unexamined assumptions to the light so that you can deal with them honestly.
Obama shouldn't leave his Church
Column: God said what?
May 1 2008 12:19PM
I’m glad Obama hasn’t left his church. But I wish more people would give him and Trinity the benefit of the doubt. No matter what they think of his political views. Because no Christian should be asked to abandon a good church.
So far this year
Column: Our Place in the Universe
May 1 2008 07:32AM
What a wonderful theme binding us all together I thought, and with that I came up with my real dissertation proposal.
