Life’s Challenges: Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones? – August 4, 2024

What a perfect time to remind ourselves that Spirit’s Grace is our ever-present, all-encompassing source of compassion, encouragement, our refuge and our strength. This is the time to balance the outer world with the joy of inner communion with Spirit through the power of prayer, meditation, and through connection with our spiritual community. My intention is that we will join together for this purpose throughout the month of August when our theme is: “Laughter: Spirit’s Medicine of Grace.”

The August 4, 2024 topic is Life’s Challenges: Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones? When we come face-to-face with life’s challenges, we have the choice to resist or welcome them. Today we will examine how our spiritual practices gift us with the willingness to welcome the unwelcome, to skillfully work with our challenges with self-compassion and a sense of humor, thus shifting them from stumbling blocks into stepping stones on our ever-evolving path of opportunities.

Psalm 91, A Lifetime Guarantee that Can’t Be Beat! – June 30, 2024

Loving greetings to you all, and happy Father’s Day to those of you who are a blessing in the lives of those whom you father, and those who have fathered you.

As you will see from our weekly topics, each is based on a timeless teaching from the Bible that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Our founder Ernest Holmes referred to the Bible as “The Grand Old Book,” saying this of it: “We shall approach our study [of the Bible] with the idea in mind that we are working out a philosophy of life which deals with man’s relationship to Spirit.” And that’s exactly what we will be doing throughout June, whose theme is “The Wisdom of the Grand Old Book.”

The June 30, 2024 topic is Psalm 91, A Lifetime Guarantee that Can’t Be Beat! Living, moving and having our being “in the place of the Most High” describes a life of abiding in Spirit and its ever-present protection. Protection from what? From false belief in lack, limitation, fear, the “pestilence” that can overtake our minds through the media and societal conditioning. Living in a consciousness of One Power and Presence shields, guards and guides us in all aspects of our lives.
