Standing In A Powerful Place
Sunday Jun 22, 2014
Sunday Jun 22, 2014
We stand in a powerful place this very moment. We stand between Love and Law, we stand between Jachin and Boaz, and we stand between Passover and Shavout…. All meaning the same thing, all of it being said for thousands of years. Let us recognize the powerful place, and activate it.

My Ol Man Sez - Rev. Paul Gonyea

We need to recognize that the beliefs we hold about our own abilities, about how smart or dumb we are, how talented or incompetent we are, how attractive or ugly we are, or how lovable or unlovable we are, are learned beliefs. We learn them, for better or worse, by listening to people we admire and respect, people who have a lot of credibility, like our father or our mother. As we’re growing up, as our mind and our personality are developing, we gather beliefs about ourselves and accept those beliefs as the way we really are. That’s why, if your father tells you as a child that you’re not very smart, or if your mother tells you you’re not very pretty, it can take a long time to find out that these are their misguided opinions rather than statements of truth

Lessons From St. Francis - Rev. Paul Gonyea

The socially acceptable response to those things in this world that some people call “evil” has always been to fight it and to conquer it. When the average non-spiritually-aware person is confronted with hatred, or injury, or doubt or despair or darkness or sadness, they want to do something about it. If someone hates us, we hate them back. If someone injures us, we try and injure them more so they’ll stop. That’s the way humanity has dealt with issues like these for thousands of years. People even justify it “in the name of religion,” or “in the name of God.” Of course, we don’t have to look any further than the Middle East to see how well that approach works.

It’s interesting to see how the Iranian government arrested the group of singers that were singing the song” Happy”. The Truth of the matter is, there is a happiness at the center of our being that cannot be taken away by any religion nor government. At the center of our Being there will always be Joy, Love, Happiness, Abundance, Creativity, and Vitality. Knowing this as our threshold, we shall always strive to know it is there.

Growing Pains - Rev Paul Gonyea

"Growth can be painful, and frequently is, because it forces us out of our comfort zone. It forces us out of our safe and secure shell. It requires us to give up some really familiar parts of our old identity, and to take on some new and unfamiliar characteristics that we’re not used to. Growth challenges us to recognize that most, if not all, of our so-called limitations are really self-imposed and artificial. All these things can be a pretty big blow to the ego, which also doesn’t feel very good. But when the growing pain ends --- which it will --- the results are almost always worth it."

Mother's Day is upon us!
Mother's day is one of the most active days of the year to phone Mom!
Mother's day is one of the most popular days of the year to send flowers, running a close second to Valentine's Day I realize relationships with our Mom's vary.
Regardless to the type of relationship, consider something Mom taught! Some individuals may have a laundry list of lessons!
Others may not be able to recall. For those, I ask that you search deep within! Find one life lesson! Are you better for having it?

Let's Be Honest - Rev. Paul Gonyea

Sunday May 04, 2014
"We have available to us the intelligence and the passion and the power to make anything happen in our life and (if we do it together) in the world. But we have to stop wasting so much time and energy lying to ourselves and to each other about what we want and what we are willing to do to make those things happen. And we need to stop being afraid of what other people will think of us if we tell them the truth. If we start to practice being honest on the little things, maybe we’ll see how quickly our power translates to the bigger, more important things."
