Turning Back the Hands of Time - Rev. David Barrett

If you could go back in time and relive one moment to say, ” I Love You”, one moment to say, ” I’m Sorry”, one moment to say, “I forgive you”’,  or one moment to take back what you said, would you feel that a burden had been lifted?

Yes, we actually turn back the hands of time on this day, but in actuality, all of our past experiences we would like to relive are only in Mind….. and Mind is where we can go and say those things we wished we had said, or wish we hadn't said, so long ago. Sunday we will learn how to live with NO REGRETS.

The Masks We Wear - Rev. Paul Gonyea

It's time that we stopped hiding behind false excuses for why we're not living the life we want to live. It's also time we stopped buying into the illusions of why we're not doing the things we want to do. Every mask we wear hides us from our true self, from our powerful divine self. One mask shows the world how old you are, and what that age allows you to do or not do --- throw it away. One mask shows the world your education and job qualifications --- throw it away. One mask shows the world what you're willing to settle for in a relationship --- throw it away. One mask shows what you think you're worth --- throw it away. And finally, throw away the mask called 'My Story.' Your story stops here; it's time to start writing a new one.

The Joy of Prosperity - Rev. David Barrett

Prosperity is our birthright. It is an Abundant Universe and each one of us is as aspect of that Abundance. The substance we are looking for OUT THERE must be channeled through our Minds, so we remember that our true starting point for all the riches of the Universe starts in our own individual Mind. We are richer than we think we are right now.

Love, Chaos, and Transformation: The Journey of Healing Through Cancer - Erika Luckett

At one point, Erika Luckett was given only thirty minutes to live. Not thirty weeks, or thirty days, but thirty minutes. The priceless gifts that emerged during her journey of healing and transformation apply to all of us. You can read more in her article ”Find The Antidote in The Venom” in the October issue of the Science of Mind magazine.

Money Money Everywhere! - Rev. Paul Gonyea

People who are wealthy and successful don’t need secrets; they use intelligence, good sense and experience. They don’t focus on manipulating things; instead, they focus on their inner awareness relating to what they believe about wealth and prosperity. How much time do you think Bill Gates, or Warren Buffett or Donald Trump spends worrying about what will happen if their money runs out? Not much, I can assure you. They know that even if their money disappears, they can always create more the same way — through their belief that they are always connected to the Source of all supply. They may not say it that way, but that’s what they believe.

Part 4 of Everyday Spirituality: The Loyal Opposition - Rev. Paul Gonyea

In politics, there should always be at least two sides with different viewpoints who challenge each other in order to reach the best solution. If we were able to just move forward and do whatever we thought was best, without opposition, we would be in constant danger of becoming complacent or, what’s even worse, of becoming arrogant. That’s when we usually walk over the edge of a cliff while congratulating ourselves on how smart we are. If there is always someone or something ready to confront us, it causes us to re-examine our ideas, to consider other possibilities, to stretch our mind into areas where we might otherwise never go.

Part 3 of Everyday Spirituality: The Ups, Downs and In-Betweens - Rev. Paul Gonyea

We’ve all experienced success and failure, good and bad, happy and sad. And most of us prefer the ups to the downs; we do everything we can to stay on top, and everything we can to keep from being down in the trenches. The problem is — things keep changing. It would be so easy if we could get everything in our life just where we want it, and then forget about it because we know it’s going to stay that way. If our job ran smoothly all the time, no problems, no hassles, no economic downturns. Or if our relationships were always comfy and cozy and sweetness and light. If our stock portfolios went up and stayed up. But for some reason, Life doesn’t seem to work that way.

Part 2 of The Everyday Spirituality Series: The Power of Simplicity - Rev. Paul Gonyea

Most of us want the same things out of life, and they really aren't all that complicated. We want to love and be loved. We want to feel that our life has purpose. We want to express ourselves creatively, to feel that we're contributing something to the world. We want a body that's healthy enough to let us interact with all the beautiful experiences this life has to offer. We want the freedom to choose how to do these things in the best way possible. That's pretty simple, isn't it? But if it's so simple, then why aren't most people living that way? That's what I want to know.

Part 1 of The Everyday Spirituality Series: Play To Your Strengths - Rev. Paul Gonyea

Wherever we happen to be in our life, and whatever our state of mind or the state of our emotions, we need to realize that we are the right person, in the right place, at the right time. Otherwise, Spirit would not be showing up there, as us. Each of us provides some unique strength, some special talent, some particular ability which is present for one reason and one reason only, and that is to allow Life to work through us by doing something that only we can do.
