A New Thanksgiving
By Sharon Ray Thanksgiving was a lot of fun for me this year, so it's a little curious that a new question popped into my brain just as I sat down to recover from all the visiting and activity: "What is the value in doing all this?" In truth, there is none, unless I...
Celebrate Life!
A monthly weekend celebration at Sunburst Sanctuary by Dawn King On Saturday I hurried to the gym for Patty's "Celebrate Life!" gentle yoga class. Somehow, I'd gotten there 30 minutes early. My first thought was of distress over all the chores at home that I could...
Enjoying the “Rays” of Sunburst and the Farm
By Cindy White Last Sunday, after a great service and brunch at Sunburst, I followed Sharon Ray for a tour of the farm. Arriving, it couldn’t have been a prettier day. After visiting in Sharon’s lovely little home, one that God arranged for her because of its sunrise...
Sod From God
By Sharon Ray My home is in such a sweet spot under two grand poplar trees. My favorite view is out my kitchen window—it's all Nature, but the earth is barren. "Oh, I'd so love to look out this window and see some green grass," I've lamented at least three times since...

Joy for the Love of God
By Sharon Ray I'm waking up to gratitude for the AMAZING life God has given me. I feel that if there is one thing we can do to truly bless God in this life, it is to BE HAPPY. The Divine lives in us. If we are happy, He feels our happiness. If we are discontent and...
Just Around the Corner
by Sharon Ray This week on California Gold, Huell Howser took viewers to a Japanese restaurant that was in a pickle over a certain fish. Three times they had enlarged his tank, but the fish kept growing and growing, and had now outgrown its third walled water home....
The Speed of Grace
by Sharon Ray Lao Tzu wrote, "For the one who is always busy, there is no hope." How busy I am, running around doing, doing—my body hurts! Ah, but it's close to 7 p.m. on a summer's eve here at Sunburst, and I am in Grace. I've showered and taken my dinner out onto...
