When Jesus saw the crowds he went up on a hillside. The people who wanted to be disciples gathered around him. And he sat down (as teachers do) and he began to teach them. He said: “God bless you who are spiritual zeroes. Who are absolutely broke…beggars. The kingdom of heaven is open to you. God bless you who are heartbroken. You will know the comfort of God. God bless you who are powerless. In God’s kingdom you’re going to win everything. The whole wide earth will be yours. Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty...
Yesterday, as I worked out with Roy, my fitness trainer, we started out for a walk, which to me at first glance, looked impossible. Sure enough, my ego ruptured as I stopped halfway up the hill, sucking air like a fish out of water. Oh, how I wish I could have slid unnoticed down a storm drain out to sea. Being the perfect guide, Roy reminded me that we were going at my pace and this glitch was just something we were working on improving. Problem solved. As we advance on the spiritual journey our road ahead is covered with gl...

In Fallbrook, that can mean myriad things. For some it may mean trendy jeans, a certain brand of tennis shoes, surf-brand clothing, fashionable dresses, designer purses or music industry t-shirts. The challen...
