Welcome to livingartstoday.com

As you can see from the above title, I am used to publishing a health magazine and being called "the editor". Since this is my first attempt at web paging (starting 9/1/03), I don’t know what else to call myself. So for now, we’ll just stick to that. As a publisher of an alternative health journal, I have done and continue to do an immense amount of research, reading the newest experiments and discoveries in all of the medical newsletters and journals as well as what the alternative "experts" are doing in their various modalities of practice. As a health practitioner (stress management and therapeutic touch) and researcher, I tend to trust Science and evidence-based practice over Faith, and that is what you will find reflected in the section entitled "Healing Arts." Never-the-less, as a minister and counselor, I know from years of experience that nothing can happen without Faith. It is truly the substance of things that exist in spirit but are not yet seen. As our elder brother Will Shakespeare said, "Nothing is so but thinking makes it so." Belief is even more powerful than substance. Yet both evolve and work according to Universal laws which are often beyond our comprehension, yet are always revealing themselves to our research and to our receptive consciousness. Whether you have Faith in a transcendent, all-knowing and all-powerful Divine Creator and call it God, or in a dream within your heart, or in a Higher Power (God as you understand God to be), or just in Love - - that Faith, anchored inside you, becomes your guide, your counselor, your teacher and your everlasting Friend. It is born in the manger of your heart, and grows up to become the savior and redeemer of your life. This kind of conversation and subject will be covered in the section entitled, "Religious Arts". I see Science and Religious Faith as natural partners, leading Humanity forward, hand in hand. I hope you will enjoy this web site and these two overarching themes.
