Arlington Prayer Station Invitation “The Advent”
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [...]
Commemorating the Ascension of Abdu’l-Baha
Last night nine of us gathered around the table to share a meal which was a mix of foods as diverse as the people around the table — from USA, Scotland, Togo, Peru, Norway, Mexico, Iran, Bolivia, and Bulgaria. I suspect Abdu’l-Baha would have liked this. And that was the point, for we were together [...]

Having spent a wonderful Thanksgiving evening with a fascinating group of friends, with full tummy, after a call from my beloved daughters, and anticipating the wonderful community event I will have the honor of hosting tomorrow, I am thankful! Thankful for family, friends and the glorious Baha’i Faith which has given me tools for spiritual [...]
Hunger for God

The God-conscious being looks upon all alike, like the wind, which blows equally upon the king and the poor beggar. The God-conscious being has [...]
Prayer Station Invitation “Patience”
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. (Christianity, King James Bible, Hebrews, 10:35-36) O ye who believe! seek help with patience and with prayer, for God is with the patient. [...]
Celebrating the Prince of Peace
As the years of my Baha’i life pass, my appreciation of celebrating Holy Days becomes deeper and more enjoyable. In the past couple of years, first thing I do on the first working day of the new year is to block all Baha’i Holy Days on my calendar and send the list to my boss. [...]
In the Realm of Glory
What an unusual day! I woke up from a dream in which I was with Hillary Clinton and then reached out to shake hand with Bill Clinton praising his efforts to arise and serve humanity. I didn’t think much of this dream until I heard a story later this evening… Before that, I had prepared [...]
