Good morning,
To stand up in the face of adversity and speak with unwavering conviction requires great courage. Yes my friend, I said courage. Although even when we are not confronted by adversity, we can practice having more courage and stronger convictions, for opportunities are everywhere. When we recognize that the courage we draw upon is not ours alone, for the credit goes finally to Spirit, our foundation, our rock. Practicing this courage, we affirm our confidence in creation, and our body responds to this affirmation of absolute truth with well-being. We then reveal the divine body of perfection behind all bodies. In every way, our physical form answers the call of our spiritual being, and the result is natural and vital health. So as you go about your day and the days ahead, take each thought as a prayer of thanksgiving, thinking upon the natural health of your being. You then have insured a lively and energetic response in your body. Have a beautiful and abundant day in all areas. Today, go forth with courage.
In loving white light, my faith, love and magik...
Blessed be always,
~dyved...

TREATMENT / PRAYER
"Nothing can move me from the conviction that my body is in the care of a divine agent working through me. My physical body reflects and is modeled after the perfect idea of God. God is resident in each cel of my physical being, ready to respond to the love I shower on my body. I begin today!"

Most of us never attend to any new subjects after we finish school. Sure, we watch television and go to the movies, and perhaps read the latest hit novel, but we rarely ever tackle an unfamiliar subject, and so don't set our minds ablaze with discovery. It is a demonstrable if obvious gact that when we are learning the synapses in our brain are vigorously firing, and that when we are idle they are sluggish. So, engage yourself mentally on occasion lest your mind become a dull and habitual thing barely conscious of its own rut.
As you well know, it's quite difficult to teach an old dog a new trick.

It is natural for the heart to open and close rhythmically like the petals of a flower, many times throughout the day. The times when we are most aware of the heart opening is when it has been closed. The opening is like a gift of grace, a moment of heightened awareness when we lift out of small mind and soar in the limitless sky of the Big Mind of God.
Today, dedicate yourself to an awareness of whether your heart feels open or closed. Periodically, at intervals you select (perhaps before each meal, snack or drink), notice whether or not your heart is open. If it feels closed, call upon the Archangel Michael to help you open it and then pause to take a few deep breaths and bring back a memory of a time that it was open. It is important not to be attached to the results - your heart may or may not feel open. The important thing is the awareness that you alone bring to this exercise.

Explain God
This was written by an 8-year old, Danny Dutton of Chula Vista, CA, for his third-grade homework assignment. The assignment was to explain God.
I wonder if any of us could do as well.
One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.
He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk he can just leave that to mothers and fathers.
God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off. God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your Mom and Dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.
Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren't any who come to our church.
Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of Him preaching to them and they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like His Father and He told His Father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said "O.K." His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done and all His hard work on earth so He told Him He didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So He did. And now He helps His Dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones He can take care of Himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important. You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.
You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God.
Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.
If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids.
But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He pleases. And...that's why I believe in God ***
Keep these thoughts with you throughout the coming years:
1. If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
2. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
3. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
4. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
5. He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
6. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, He's crazy about you.
Pass this on and brighten someone's day, and remember God answers to Knee-Mail!
