We are Saved Already

Last night we watched a film on Netflix about Bishop Carlton Pearson. The film was called “Come Sunday.” Bishop Pearson is featured in our November Science of Mind Magazine. Without giving away the whole story, he had a moment of clarity, where he realized that the God he was preaching about his whole life no […]

Holy Communion

Today, as I sat after reading the Science of Mind passage on Cosmic Consciousness (341), I contemplated the idea of our oneness with the Divine and the Holy communion we have the opportunity to take part in at every moment. It took my breath away, because I wondered why we just don’t take that opportunity. […]

Daring to be Bold

Am I bold? Am I daring? Is it even important if I am bold or daring? I believe that it is important. Some definitions of being bold include: fearless, presumptuous, moving beyond fear, courageous, outside of the norm, defiant, brazen… And definitions of daring? Audacious, adventurous, willing to go beyond the norm… I am bold […]

Unlimited Life

If we look in the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes, on the very first page we will find this: “We see abundance in the Universe. We cannot count the grains of sand on a single beach. The earth contains untold riches, and the very air is vibrant with power. Why then is man, weak, […]

Finding the Balance

I love my life as a minister. Today, we had the opportunity to connect with another minister couple and talk about church ministry and finding the balance. It was a great conversation and it got me thinking about the energy it takes to lead a Center. The idea of energy and balance is true for […]

The Ocean in a Drop – Wholeness

Last night, we had the fourth of our Science of Mind Foundations Series. The subject was “Wholeness.” I knew and claimed before we started that this was a pivotal night, that this was the night that we would set the roots of the very essence of the Science of Mind teaching. I knew how important […]

Changing Lives One at a Time

Last night we had one of our bi-monthly meditations at the Center. There was low attendance. There was a time when I would have dwelled on this and wondered what I was doing wrong or I would have pointed outward, wondering why others didn’t feel the need to take time for themselves. This happened briefly […]

Are You Certain?

There is so much uncertainty in life and at the same time there is certainty. How do we balance the two? As I sit here today, I set the premise that this day is unfolding perfectly for me. Of this, I am certain. Other than the things I know I have to do today, I […]

What is Love?

Yesterday, after our celebration, someone approached me about our declarations about loving, being loving, and loving ourselves. “Do people really know what love is?” he asked. “Perhaps you need to define it so they don’t confuse it with warm, fuzzy feelings and valentines.” I thank this person for this challenge that allows me to think […]

To Rise or Fall…It takes Courage

When I look back in history, I read about the many people who strove to create change, to evolve, to go beyond what others believed as impossible, who stood up to whole organizations or even governments. They had the courage to act upon what they believed. As I have been getting ready for a month […]
