For that reason, we at Charlois have appropriated it as a foundational concept. We believe that everything evolves, trying to improve on itself.  For […]

One of the foundational beliefs of Charlois is the interconnectedness of all things.  However, that does not preclude the idea of us all having individual identities.  That means we all have our own way of doing things, and believing in our own way.  That includes how we relate to God and the universe.  That is […]

“..And to the centurion Jesus said, Go; let it be done for you according to your faith.” Throughout scripture it speaks of the power, we as humans possess.  Yet we do not use it as we should.  In this passage Jesus is saying, if you have faith, which is mentioned in various ways.  Why is […]

It is 11:30 pm on Tuesday night, and as promised I’m writing today’s installment of The Charlois Life.  The last time I posted was May 23rd, so it has been a while.  Hopefully this is the start of a more consistent endeavor. I am finally my old self; actually, I’m the new improved version.  I […]
