A Touching Story of the Solstice

Written by Rev. Bill Marchiony, Posted in Insights

Shared with us by Bob Fleischer

Just wanted to send along a short note of thanks for a beautiful and meaningful Solstice celebration. Everything about it touched me in a very special way.

Upon leaving I picked up one of the beautiful white roses and as I drove home in the rain that night, I wondered who I might give this very special rose that was infused with all the loving energy produced that evening.

Yesterday is Gone - What are you today?

Written by Rev. Dave Schpok, Posted in Insights

Living Momentarily

Often we are caught in the past or future without anchoring our awareness in this moment of living. This is nothing new to anyone who has walk toward understanding their experience. The difficulty is the inherent power we all possess to create the perception of experience in accordance with our thoughts and ideas. They cloud the past, enhance the future and veil the present.

Living Well Above the Law of Averages

Written by Rev. Bill Marchiony, Posted in Insights

Done as you believe

Living in this complex world, each of us follows our own unique path. It takes us from wherever we are to wherever we are to be next. That life path can be one that’s dictated by the events and circumstances around us, or can be a path of our choosing.

When Jesus said, “it is done unto you as you believe” he was telling you and me how to choose that path for ourselves. It is not done by wishing or hoping. It is accomplished by systematically and intentionally changing our beliefs, and allowing those new beliefs to create new experiences. This actually works. In real life. It is very simple. But it is not easy.

Insight on writing that applies to Praying in Truth

Seth Godin quoted Orwell's rules in the context of business writing. The same ideas apply to the prayers we create. Here are Orwell's rules, edited by Seth:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. You don't need cliches.
