We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience

Accept Yourself
If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn, let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything, give everything up.
Chapter 22 Tao Te Ching, Stephen Mitchell
Practice
Let’s all just try something simple today. No matter what occurs in your world today, let our response to it be:
“Thanks for everything, I have no complaint whatsoever”
Hello Again!
It’s certainly been a while since I’ve made a post on the Allgood Pages. To be exact my last post was on April 13, 2019! I guess the crib notes for my absence would read something like this. Husband and wife decide it’s time for a change, make the decision to move their family of four 250 miles to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and open a pizza restaurant! Within the time span of that decision and now there was joy, tears, sweat, anger, failure, success, fear, frustration, and just about any other emotion you would like to throw in. It been tough but rewarding. I knew that one day I would be able to return to my writing, so year after year I kept the domain alive.
That day has finally come, and I’m so grateful to be back at a point where I can continue to share what I’m finding with you. As before, my post will be based on my reading, and my life experiences. They will all be genuine and well-intended. I still have no special training, no divinity degree, no doctorate, just my willingness to take a shot at something “different”.
Judgement…
Does God Judge? Yes he did, but only once, and his judgement was that all shall be made whole with him. This judgement we should joyfully accept, and bring forth the Kingdom here and now.
