Our parents instilled in us the desire to fill our cups with the love of God which can then be poured out in service to others and the whole of creation. There are times, however, when this ideal is challenging, and I would like to share with you some resources which have been helpful to me in recent times.
The first is a book by Stephen Post, "Godly Love: A Rose planted in the Desert of Our Hearts" (2008) which can be ordered through the Templeton Society at http://www.templetonpress.org/. The words in this book have served to ground me in my roots and further understand how the love of God can be applied in the World today.
A helpful website is also related to the work of Stephen Post, "The Institute for Research on Godly Love". As a scientist and theologian, I believe the information presented here is especially encouraging, and it has influenced my hopes of building a research program in the area of spirituality, theology, and health.

There are many more influences in this area which I would like to
share with you and will do so in the future.
In God's Love,
Jocelyn
