About Me

I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

Warning care for others may produce love and peace in the world

Posted by Don Paine

Warnings are tended to warn us of harm that will come upon us.  The purpose of these warnings is so we would be better prepared for it when it comes or do something to ward off its coming.  Weather warnings, food warnings, air quality warnings, etc all come under this heading.

Another kind of warning not often framed or used is the warning if you do nice things for people nice things will come back to you.  For instance everyone wants respect but few say.  I am going to respect you and everyone regardless of anything because respecting others is just right to do.  That person will be respected as he gives respect.  True some will take advantage but in time the best way to be respected is to give respect and see it come back.  It is a nice pay forward idea.  It is the opposite of pay back.

Several years ago my wife and i were in Paris.  I was up for an early morning walk.  I took a lot of pictures.  Recently during a storm that cancelled everything I reviewed some of those pictures.  This one was interesting for me.  It was on a street in Paris.  It's message in English for all nations.


Wonder what would happen if we all on earth began to live rather than just singing "Sleep in heavenly peace" we all put peace an love out toward others regardless of anything.  Let's all curl up in a hotel of love and peace and dream it into reality by living it out daily.
