The Way of Acceptance - Rev Paul Gonyea

One thing acceptance does is keep us from trying to force things to be a certain way when they aren’t. We may have to accept sometimes that things are not the way we’d like them to be. We also might not always be quite as smart, or good, or hard-working, or compassionate or generous or passionate as we would like to think we are. That’s OK. We can always be more than what we are now. But first we have to accept who we are and where we are, and accept that participating joyfully and deliberately in the process of our personal evolution is much more important than whatever results we achieve.

Don’t Lie to yourself… It never helps - Rev Dr. Bob Deen

Stop arguing for your limitations and begin to argue for your strengths, your goodness, your beauty, and your happiness.  Let’s explore the differences between the lies and the truth of ourselves.

Spiritual Practice Meditation, Meditate, Mediplate, or Medicate — You choose! - Rev Dr. Bob Deen

Choices choices choices! We are always making choices. Often, we let circumstances choose for us and there by choose to go with the flow of the status quo. Today I challenge us to make choices that better serve us and each other. Today I challenge us to choose according to our understanding of our highest good: To choose Meditation over Medication, Mediplatiion over blind compliance, and when needed, match the best application of medication to a situation. Let’s talk about how to do that.

Oh My God! - Rev Dr Bob Deen

In moments of surprise, mind blowing awareness, and ecstasy, we automatically call out to God. It is in our nature, our culture, our psychology to recognize that there is always something greater at work in our lives than we have yet recognized. Since we call out anyway, why not learn a specific, scientific, method for doing so which will change us at core and change our experience of being alive.

Work Is Not a Four Letter Word - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Too often our work becomes work: something we do for money, to please someone or some group, or the only thing we know. Work is not a four letter word when it is all about you, your gifts, and what you have to give to the world. We can be free from the drudgery and obligation of our work. We can be free to express ourselves uniquely, truthfully, and joyfully. Come explore with us how to do that.
