Twelve Rules of Spiritual Wisdom—Author Unknown

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

2. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.

3. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.

4. Dear God, I have a problem, it's me.


5. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.

6. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.

7. THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN YOUR HOME ARE THE PEOPLE.

8. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.


9. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

10. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.

11. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk taking. Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks out it's neck.

12. Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

a change orchestrated by the soul...

this will chnge your life...

Neale Donald Walsh in the 7/3/09 I believe God wants you to know...

....that it could seem like you are losing something right now, but do not be fooled. This is simply a turnaround orchestrated by your soul.

Even before this, you were. And even after all this passes away, you shall be. All the Rest Of It is stuff and nonsense. The accoutrement. The flora and fauna. Pretty, perhaps. Shiny and sparkling, perhaps. But having nothing to do with anything.

Let it go. Release it. If it was not supposed to be removing itself from you now, it would not be doing so. It will never return to you in this exact form, and it is not intended to. If it returns at all, it will be in a higher form. That is the purpose of its leaving. All of life only improves itself. It can't do anything else. This is called evolution. Trust it. And now, smile. Tomorrow is coming! Tomorrow is coming!

only believe...to BE

Lord, let my BeLieF override any fear I confront today.

"But, ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, 'Do not fear, only believe.'" -Mark 5:36

only believe...even when waves of fear begin to erode your belief...stand firm

for when the wave retreats...

you can just...

BE

i was inspired to write in the sand this morning...i wrote Believe with a shell as my pen...a few minutes later a wave came and washed over most of the word as you see in the second photo...after i snapped it i walked on, down the beach...when i returned after my walk i found this "Be" still there...

of course i believe it was a message for me to simply just Be...
