Grace and Healing

Much of our spiritual growth is about identifying that which is unhealed or unresolved in us.  Grace is the great healer that helps us through our "blocks" in consciousness and lifts us to a higher understanding and freedom.  Also, come learn the "Christ Prayer" (it might not be what you think!), an easy method for remembering how healing works.

The Gift of Grace

The question of Grace is one that is frequently asked in classes and spiritual counseling.  In this first week of exploring Grace, we will define it, see how it works in our lives according to spiritual law, and begin to accept it through prayer and the reshaping of our thoughts.  Grace is a gift!  You will find the lessons this month uplifting and hopeful.

Come On In, The Water Is Fine!

Goovin' On a Sunday Afternoon

Summer comes in fast and hot here in Central Texas.  Let's adapt ourselves to the conditions by slowing down for some reflection, taking life a little easier, and focusing on the simple pleasures of mindful living.  Wear you best comfy groovin' clothes - sundresses, Hawaiian shirts, summer hats (may have to be removed for your neighbor behind you!), and flip-flops.  Some might call it Casual Sunday, but lets call it Groovin' Sunday!
