Dying To Be Free
by Rev. Stacey Piedrahita
All I ever wanted was just to be me, to be loved for who I am, not for who I used to be
How are you supposed to know who you are when the past won't set you free?
I'm afraid to look in the mirror
What if all I see is shame, depression, and sorrow
Stop saying that Stace. You are no longer a prisoner of your own war
You are safe
You are loved
You are divinely adored
Be courageous
Be brave
There is no more to fear
That's what I kept hearing
Why can't I believe the roar?
I …
Comfortably Numb
by Rev. Stacey Piedrahita
I was comfortable in the darkness and never wanted help. I thought I deserved all the abuse and neglect.
How did I get it so wrong where were my teachers? It wasn't their fault. I was numb to any feeling.
Even if they wanted to help and offer me a hand, I won't have taken it because that is who I am.
I suffered in silence and compromised my health. I'm not that girl anymore. I keep repeating to myself. The past is now dead and gone buried like a tulip bulb after …
Just Visiting
by Rev. Dr. Zannah Hackett
A long time ago their lived a little girl. She had long thick strawberry blonde curls that fell to the bottom of her pinafore and big sparkly blue eyes that made everyone smile when she looked at them. Her mother was a nurse, and the little girl was her only child. Because the mother did not want to leave her child alone, the mother would take the little girl to work with her. The little girl loved this very much.
The mother worked at a special place. It wa…
My Own Wings
by Rev. Stacey Piedrahita
I soar on golden wings toward an endless blue sky. My heart is full I no longer question why
On my own wings as I ascend higher
As destiny aligns
My future is brighter
I saw this in my dreams
It was mine for the taking
A vision so vivid
I knew God wasn't playing
A seed had been planted so long ago
I forgot about it and let the seed grow
I believe I can do this
My heart says go
My hands no longer shake
My breath is calm as I take in all I have created
I am no longer dreaming. L…
Intentions
by Rev. Rita Scheibeck
In many different spiritual practices, we use the word “intention” as something to strive for, something to express to the Universe or Divine Energy what we want or desire. The other day, while thinking of the word “intention,” I wrote this affirmation:
“I am grateful in advance for fulfilled intentions.”
I pondered that for a few days, feeling a little incomplete about the words “in advance.” I couldn’t let go of how much the “future” of that statement dist…

Another New Angel - Rev. Marilyn Scherff
Our sister Rev. Marilyn Scherff left the planet last evening. A new ADL Angel, free of physical pain and, as always, plugged into the Divine Source of LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Please affirm Marilyn's journey to the "other side" - beyond the veil - happening with Grace and Ease. Prayers of comfort for her family, Tracy, Bill and her grand and great grandchildren - all of her family and friends. We have "lost" her presence in physical form, but never her HEART. WE LOVE YOU MARILYN…
