Note from Ellen
Last Saturday afternoon I returned home after spending the night with my mother and sister to find the house extremely hot. I looked at the air conditioner unit and it was not working at all. The temperature showed that the house was in the 90's and it felt very muggy and humid. Sweat was pouring off of me. I asked myself, "Why do repairs always need to be done on the weekends, at nights or on the holidays?". I knew I had to get it fixed as it was very hot and my grandchildren are coming in a week.
I called an AC repair company and waited for a call from the man "on call for the weekend". Thoughts went through my head about how much this repair would cost. Would a new unit be needed? How much would that be? Finally...a very young man came to the door and I immediately wondered if he was old enough to know how to fix the unit. He went right to the unit and said that I had a blown fuse. He replaced the fuse and the unit kicked on. He said that the breaker had been pulled down outside. He wondered why this had happened. I asked him if raccoons could do this and he laughed and said that yes that was very possible. And best of all the cost was reasonable!!!
It felt cool for a while and then a wave of heat hit again. It was not working!!! I felt a twinge of fear thinking that maybe he had not fixed the real problem. I called and talked to the young man who had been out. He was shocked that it was not working and he gave me some instructions. He said the unit can overheat when it has been off so I turned off the unit and 45 minutes later I turned it back on and it began cooling down immediately. It was fixed and has been running ever since.
I learned a lot from this experience. I looked back and saw how easy it is to immediately jump to the worse possible outcome. And I also saw how easy it was for me to get into a complaining mode about "why is this happening to me?". In the scheme of things an air conditioner repair is nothing compared to other situations.
I have had other smaller things occur that reinforce for me that I need to begin looking for the best possible outcome for each situation that happens. And to know that all things are working for a higher good. I am also becoming very thankful for all the good that is in my life.
If you are facing a fearful situation in your life, begin to relax in the knowledge that God is in charge and let go of fears, worries or concerns. Opening up to God allows good to appear. Letting go and letting God sets in motion events that are miraculous.
On another note, I am talking on the subject of prosperity for the next month on Sunday mornings. This Sunday I will be passing out a brochure on the subject of "unexpected income". I have been personally amazed at how quickly unexpected income can materialize into my life. I invite you to join me in an experiment involving this subject.
Have a wonderful day and week!!!!

Meditation is good for the mind, body and soul. If you have never participated in a group meditation, it is something to be experienced. Getting to know God is an urge and craving of all beings. Meditation will help you make that connection.
This special program is supported through your love offering and the most important part is your participation. &n bsp;Come to the church or set aside the time and meditate with us from your home if you cannot make it in person. Be a part of something bigger.

Spiritual Discussion Class

Ellen Davis Facilitator
VISIONING CLASS
(each Wednesday 7:30 PM)
Ellen Davis and Lane Pierce Facilitators
The Wednesday night visioning class has decided to begin planning for the second half of 2008. The class is currently working on putting their goals in writing to correlate with the images in their books.
Visioning is all about dreaming, fantasizing, clarifying and energizing your life. You decide what it is you want in your life and then begin to envision those things. By collecting and organizing images of items or important words you can surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or where you want to vacation, your life changes to match those images and those desires. Between Ellen's commitment to the system of Visioning and Lane's commitment to goal setting there are many lessons to be learned in any one night of Visioning class.
This class is supported by love offerings.
A Vision Book is really an inventory of your desires - come stock your shelves.
