Animals

Rev. Rita MeKila Herring Universal Brotherhood Movement

The topic of animals is truly a tough one because it’s one that carries with it a heavy dichotomy. Science believes that humans are included in the animal kingdom yet many religions consider humans superior and animals “lowly.” Most are of the belief that humans are the most intelligent beings on earth but can they be so sure? We’re the only beings that put our own in cages. When you observe animals in their natural environment, there seems to be instinctual understanding of what’s acceptable and what is not within each unique . . . Read More Here: Animals

The Body

Rev. Rita MeKila Herring Universal Brotherhood Movement

The only real possessions we own are what we “came in with.” Haven’t we all heard that? What does that mean, really? Does it mean that it’s wrong to enjoy the material things in life? Does it mean that nobody really owns anything anyway?

Accountability

Rev. Rita MeKila Herring Universal Brotherhood Movement

When you think of energy, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Chances are your answer wasn’t ‘accountability.’ Wouldn’t it be nice if that truly was the first thing that came to most of our minds? Let’s face it, day in and day out we all expend energy. Every single thing we do requires energy. The thoughts we allow to flow through our minds are powered by energy. The act of looking at something and seeing it requires energy to do so. There simply is not a single thing that . . . Read More Here: Accountability
