Miracles Do Happen

Beloved Spiritual Partners,

God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform!  We have been blessed with our new Center Home.  It sets high on a hill and is a beacon for all to view from 3 different freeways.  The architecture is reminiscent of the Old Mission Style with Archways and Courtyard.  It houses a beautiful Sanctuary, Chapel, Prayer Tower, Sunday School, Youth Room, Nursery, Kitchen, Café, Gardens, Fountains and Angels at the door.  It has office space for wholistic health workers.  Our own Dr. Carlos Seals has a chiropractic office in this beautiful space as well!

The founding minister who bought the land and built this edifice is Pastor Terry Couch.  I met with her last March and we definitely felt a soul connection.  She opened her heart and her doors to us after “going within” to pray and meditate on God’s Will for the Sky Pilot Temple where “all faiths are welcome”.  It was revealed to her that this would be a beautiful unfoldment for all concerned.  She is a deeply spiritual and charismatic woman doing the Will of He who sent her!

I want to thank all of you who have absolutely “beyond a shadow of a doubt” unwaveringly known the Truth with me.   I want to also thank those of you who were part of the journey and could no long hold the vision for the Center.  Pioneering a ministry is an intense and courageous business!  It takes an amazing faith to see it through.   Egos may collide, personalities may flair, however, our relationship is far deeper than any outer experience!  Through this way of life it is healed in the twinkling of an eye!  I bless the initiations, the energy, the sacrifice, the tears, and the sacred service.  I bless the opportunity that God set before us.   Jesus said:  “Know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free”.

 Through the freedom of choice we choose whom we will serve.  God, or mammon.  To choose God is to relinquish the hold the ego has on us.  It is to release the judgments and looking outside ourselves for the answers.   To hold anyone responsible for our dissatisfaction or unhappiness is to give our power away completely.  True power is love and compassion for the human condition and opening ourselves to the Heart of God.

 Dr. Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science has said:  “To desert the Truth in the hour of need is to prove that you have never known the Truth…When things look the worst is the best time to pray, the most satisfying time to go within and allow the Truth to be revealed.”  The ego will look for the lesser in the presence of the greater.  The Spirit within will know the Truth regardless of appearances, conditions, effects, and outer circumstances.  

The Spirit of God is upon us and hath anointed us to share the Good Tidings with the whole world.  Let us share our Light that others may see our Good Works and glorify our Father in Heaven!

The New Thought Community is a movement that espouses the daily practice of the Ancient Wisdom principles.  The beauty of this way of life is that we can recreate our experience of a given situation at any moment!  “Change your thinking change your life!”

It does not matter “how long” we have been in this way of life, we must practice the presence of God at every moment!  If we find ourselves slipping back into old habit patterns we need to forgive ourselves and move on!  Remember:  Regret looks back, worry looks around, and Faith looks up!

 The depth of my love for you is immeasurable and unconditional.

I praise your faith in God and your knowingness that the Center for the Celebration of Life is a Divine Idea in the Mind of God whose time has come!  The time is now and the place is the Sky Pilot Temple where we soar upon the wings of Love!

 In His Love and Divine Purpose,
