The Power of God
Is in His Word.
He spoke the World into existence.
His Word is Truth.
How powerful is the Word?
How powerful is your word?
Your word is not only your bond, it can be the difference between good character and bad, good credit and bad, good relationships and bad.
So God spoke the world into existence and said it was good.
What do you speak? Your words can lift a spirit or crush a soul.
These things are an example to us.
God did not leave us alone, but gave us His Word.
This Christmas ponder the gifts we have been given: Our families, our friends, the good things we have. And remember too the examples we have been given to follow, so that we may lead a good life. Be a blessing unto others and speak kindly to them. Yours may be the only kind voice they hear today. Your gift may be all they receive this year. Your hand may be all they need to help them up.
Be of good cheer, because you have the power to brighten someone’s day!
And when someone does something for you, be happy and thank them. The gift of thoughtfulness and kindness has just been given to you.
Smile and say it is good.

Faith in Job
Satan flew over the earth and found a victim, a good man he wanted to test with some fate and misery. So the story goes. And he asked God for permission to torment our good man Job.
It is no more astounding that God allowed it, than it is allowed for many others since.
God does not interfere with man’s thoughts, for to do so would crush him. Man would be no more.
Who then is this devil? And why is he allowed to do evil?
Is God hesitant to crush him or it?
Has creation run amok?
Is there really a character Lucifer, a fallen angel?
Is he really just a shade of ourselves?
All minds exist as an idea, ideas which reside in the consciousness of the most high.
To crush one, crushes them all, for it destroys the fabric of consciousness.
Your thoughts are most holy to God, for they are your life’s blood.
When Job was tested, he suffered greatly, losing his family, his home, his health. But though he lamented, Job never changed his mind about God. His will could not be broken.
God was always betting on Job. He always knew what he had in his man. He created Job that way.
It was Job who needed to learn what he was made of. When Satan lost the battle, Job was restored. Job lamented his ordeal, he pored through his mind, his emotions, his sorrow, and found his will.
The biblical tale is a metaphor. Job is every man and woman. The devil is doubt, the shadow man, who believes in failure. He must be talked to, he must be heard and seen, and only then can he come into the light and be healed. When Job examines his thoughts, he rids his body of their poison.
The Pope currently would like to distinguish the words in the Lord’s Prayer ‘Lead us not into temptation’, and change them to ‘do not let us fall into temptation.’
The Lord May lead us but it is we who follow.

Are Thoughts Free?
As Nelson Mandela languished in prison, did he ponder the remaining vestige of freedom in his possession? His thoughts, ironically that which landed him in prison, those very thoughts were the only thing the “man” could not take.
Political prisoners, or not, the one abundance in jail is time. Time for thought. A sharp man sharpens his thoughts.
We share our thoughts freely in the western world, and sometimes we lose friends or jobs for what we’ve said. There are lands where freedom or even life is confiscated in order to control thought.
God created thought Free, and man tries to shackle it.
This is why the Truth makes one free, because the mind is unshackled from illusion.
Nelson Mandela found his mind was free, no matter what imprisoned his body. Likewise, many deep thinkers have come to this realization, from biblical times through the present, and emerged from their prisons ready to revolutionize the world of thought.
Are your thoughts free? What prison of thought, system of presumed ideas, has you chained to an illusion? You may not like a new idea, but it could be the key to your cage.

Change the Way
Isn’t it better to raise up, than to tear down?
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness?
We are headed down a brutal path and we must have strength to stop it:
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness?
We are headed down a brutal path and we must have strength to stop it:
Spiteful, mean comments do nothing to assuage the molten anger of the many. They only fuel the flames of self-righteous rage. When it boils over, death will be the victor.
Once, I was angry and my ex told me, very sweetly, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. What went wrong between us?
Let’s stop being mean to strangers.
Everyone is trying to get through their own life, experiencing sorrows, pain and disappointment you don’t know about. Sometimes they are hard-boiled and crusty because they have seen too much.
Sometimes just a kind or helpful act or word on your part can change someone’s mind.
Give them something to think about.

A Fourth of TIME
When we think of time, we think of it as a standalone concept. We have the three dimensions of space and then we have the fourth dimension of time.
When we think of the three dimensions of space, some of us may realize that the three dimensions while they are three separate concepts do not stand alone. Height, depth and width do not exist independently. Alone, each of those three dimensions are merely concepts.
Take the second dimension for example, imagine a flat piece of paper and the image on it is two dimensional. That image cannot exist without some depth, if only a molecule of depth in order to create a visible image. Yet, it is easy for us to visualize it and accept it as two dimensional. We realize that the piece of paper is three-dimensional, but we do not always realize that the image or drawing upon it is also three-dimensional.
It took a genius like Einstein to realize that space and time also do not stand alone. He called it space-time.
Imagine a chunk of space, a three-dimensional chunk of space. It looks like a cube in our example. It has height, depth and width. We understand that none of those dimensions exist without the others. That chunk of space, that cube, existed yesterday. It exists now. It will exist a second from now. It exists in the past present and future. Because nothing ever stands still, at least not on a subatomic level, that chunk of space experiences change and thus goes through what we perceive as time.
One second leads into the next and there is a river of time.
Does the river run through the space or does the space move with the river?
Since no moment stands still, there is no discrete moment in time, no snapshot available where time has stopped and where the space is frozen. Like the three dimensions of space that only appear in the mind to be separate, space itself only appears in the mind to be separate from Time.
Thus we see that each of the four dimensions is merely a mental concept. All four dimensions are one. Space could not exist without Time and Time could not exist without space, for there would be nothing to change and thus no concept of time. The concept of space itself is created by the illusion of movement. The particles and the sub atomic particles appear to move through time. The closer we look at them, the harder they are to pin down to one spot or one second, because they never exist simultaneously in both space and time. They flit in and out between the two dimensions never really existing in either, and create the fabric of our existence.
Without both time and space, the particles could not do this dance and would not be seen. So, space and time would not exist as concepts because there would be nothing.
All the elements of creation exist separately only as mental concepts, in the realm of perception. None of them exist independently. All creation is one in the mind of God, which does not perceive separation but creates all things as One.

Witches
Endora- The mother of Samantha, perhaps one of the most powerful witches in modern television.
If you Google Endora, here's what you get:
Did you know the name Endora is a nod to the Witch of Endor, who is mentioned in the Bible? Dig a little further into Google and you can find this:
Witch of Endor. In the Hebrew Bible, the Witch of Endor was a woman who summoned the prophet Samuel's spirit, at the demand of King Saul of the Kingdom of Israel in the First Book of Samuel, chapter 28:3–25.
A very powerful witch indeed. What are witches but empowered women. The word witch in the English language originally meant a wise and aged woman. You will have to search a lot harder to find that definition. The word has been corrupted by our culture to mean something very different. Originally back in the Middle Ages, witches were elderly-learned women of the community and were highly regarded as nurturers, mothers, grandmothers, healers, and keepers of knowledge.
With Halloween coming, it is time to remember that real Witches are everywhere.

Time
I inherited a turn of the century grandmother clock from my mother. It had belonged to my Italian nonna. My grandmother clock is a tall wooden clock, but with shelves rather than a pendulum.
It is electric but has to be wound to start, and the hands have to be set from behind, like a watch.
The old clock stopped the day my mother died. I haven't had the heart to reset it.
We've heard this before, about clocks stopping when the owner dies.
My mother-in-law also used a clock, in this case her wristwatch to communicate with me.
It was a beautiful wristwatch that we had given her, and I came to inherit it when she passed.
I wore it to visit my in-laws and forgot my regular watch. I now feel like the universe planned it that way. I had to wear the expensive watch all week. My sister-in-law just had surgery and we were there to help out. On the last night there she and her brother got into a heated spat. I was upset, but decided not to interfere.
The next morning before we flew home, I noticed the watch had stopped working the night before.
Message delivered. I spoke the words I had held back, and told my husband his mother was upset. Her watch had stopped. He apologized to his sister.
My mother in law's watch started working again, but I will take it for a new battery.
What is the connection we have to clocks? Is it emotional? Do they symbolize our time here on earth, and thus remain as a portkey or conduit to our spirit in the beyond?
