Episode 27-Let Peace Begin With Me

Published: July 28, 2006, 2:17 a.m.

First of all, let me give a big "congratulations" to Lance Bass of the boy band *NSYNC for his decision to come out publicly, and for getting a hunky boyfriend like Reichen Lehmkuhl. You go, Lance!

Also, a shoutout to Garrett Husveth and Brent Dolan of the Haunted New Jersey Podcast. I have had an interest in paranormal phenomena for quite some time, and their podcast is a great source of info. They have been doing recordings in the warehouse where their studio is located, and I heard some EVPs in one of the recordings. I sent the files to them, and they mentioned me in Episode 30. Thanks, guys! Check out Haunted New Jersey's website here.

Between, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Darfur, and everywhere in the world, people are concerned about the rise of violence
and the possibility of WWIII having already been started.

I say that we do not have to go there, and we can instead choose to create peace. We have within us all the creative power of
the Universe, and we have used it to get where we are now.

By just choosing differently, we can begin a new era of peace and prosperity, and it begins with us.

I believe that if we are to see peace outside of us, we must know peace within us.

Christ Jesus used the command "Peace, be still" to still the stormy Sea of Galilee, and I believe we can use the same command
to still the storm and violence in our own minds.

As we raise our minds and hearts to a state of peace, we can not help but raise the collective consciousness of the planet.

Today, I make the commitment to create peace within myself, and I invite you to do the same.

I invite you to join the Prayer Circle, a growing online community we are creating with this podcast.

The Prayer Circle is open to everybody everywhere.

Bring your greatest triumphs and your greatest challenges and place them in the circle.

You will never be alone, and we will support you.

Prayer requests can be emailed or voicemailed.

In the interest of confidentiality, I will only give initials and location of the person during the Prayer Circle.
