Who is God?

"I Believe in God" by Rev. Judee Chapman

Every Sunday morning, we read the Declaration of Principles together as a congregation and ......... every time I repeat those words, my faith is restored. To me, the first statement of Truth, "I believe in God", is the most powerful and makes me think...... 'hmmmmm' Who is God? This Wednesday we will explore what 'God' is and why we believe it is 'The Thing Itself'.

The next declaration is " the One Creative Intelligence"... etc. It appears to me that this Intelligence is within us and that we can create what we put our attention on in our life. We will discuss the 'creative process' and how we create our experiences through these dynamic spiritual laws.

Declaration of Principles

I believe in God, the one Creative Intelligence operating through the Universe and operating throughout my entire being now and always. I believe this perfect Creative Intelligence can be used by me and by every other person, to produce health, abundance and love, in mind, body and total life experience. I use it now, and I rejoice in it. And so it is!

Happiness While Seeing Goodness in Strangers

Happiness While Seeing Goodness in Strangers

I rarely watch the news. I especially do not watch the news late at night or watch CNN(Constantly Negative News) twenty-four hours a day. It is good to keep informed, I just don't want to immerse myself in the "muck and mire of things."

While browsing facebook the other day I came across a video that makes my heart happy. It shows ordinary people making a difference in life by doing things in extraordinary ways. Until I found it on Youtube, I didn't know it was Russian. I trust that you can see the beauty of these acts of kindness through the filter of Love.

In our Declaration of Principles, Ernest Holmes wrote:

"We believe in the eternal goodness, the eternal loving-kindness, and the eternal givingness of life to all."

What we put our attention on multiplies. This month I will be exploring the theme of happiness. Let us multiply happiness together!

I invite you to look for good events and activities. Notice other people being kind and considerate. remind yourself that we believe in eternal goodness.

I have seen bits of Russian dashcam footage in the news to show stormy weather, police shootings, or other violent activities. I also remember footage from the meteor that landed and caused such chaos.

The video I invite you to watch is spliced together short shots from various dashcams. Some of the quality is poor but I invite you to watch. I needed several tissues because goodness makes me leak a little!

Maybe this will inspire you to go the extra mile and make someone's day happier.
