Doug Simcox
Ordained Ministerial Counselor
“Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” – ACIM
Ten years ago, these 11 words in the opening of A Course in Miracles, caught my attention and more importantly, piqued my curiosity and interest. The Peace of God has been my personal mission. Anything that disrupts my Peace, that comes to my awareness, is a call for love and healing.
What I discovered as I began my Course in Miracles adventure was that there was theory (the Text) and the practical, daily lessons (Workbook for Students) that I could apply and practice in my life. I found that these lessons fit into all situations and my relationships, whether business or personal.
While I was doing my early ACIM studies, my nephew Troy and his fiancée Kelsey called me to ask me to marry them. I replied that I was not a Justice of the Peace, a judge, or an ordained minister. Troy’s response was quick and simple: “you will figure it out”.
Troy’s words “you will figure it out” launched my formal Ministerial training with Pathways of Light. I was ordained and I married them in 2018. I am further blessed that I was ordained with Rev. Larendee Roos, the creator of the Miracle Activation Center.
I noticed that in my professional life I became a better manager and that my relationships deepened when I began to apply the ACIM lessons and teachings.
In June of 2021 I retired from a 35-year business career in the corporate world. Today, I enjoy traveling, driving race cars, meeting and engaging with new people, and having wonderful conversations about the Love of God and all of Love’s attributes: Joy, Peace and Happiness. I believe that God’s Will for us all is Perfect Happiness. My wish for you is Perfect Happiness.
My wife Laura and I live in Kentucky with our two dogs, a bossy lab mix and a rough collie with a sly sense of humor. Our daughter and son are grown, but never far away, thanks to the magic of the internet.
