Tending Bar with Spirit’s Help

by Rev. Larry Glenz, O.M.C.

I don’t know how many combination Ordained Ministerial Counselor / bartenders there are in the world — but I am one. Some have said that it is certainly an odd mix; others have said they see how the two vocations dovetail beautifully. ACIM has taught me that it does not matter what you do in the world of form. What is important is with which teacher you choose to do it.

When I was a younger man in the 1980’s and 90’s, I tended bar on Sundays at a sports bar in NY on the south shore of Long Island. Sunday was my day off from being a history teacher and coach of three sports. The part-time bartender job helped to pay the bills and seemed to also enhance my social life.

The One About the Secret

by Rev. Stephan Mead, O.M.C.

It seems a constant flow of comments and insights this past year have been on the subject of “waking up.” I can almost dare you to go to an ACIM internet board or ACIM Facebook posting and not find that elusive goal discussed. “What is waking up? What does one need to do to get out of the dream?” And, if it’s so easy to do, “Why haven’t more people, even the supposedly spiritual giants done it?” If one does actually “wake up,” how would he know it? What changes? Who would you hang out with in the land of enlightenment? Do people actually “wake up” or is it just something to discuss with others as we live out our lives?

Healing Trust with Love

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

There was a time in my life that I could not trust anyone. I was so afraid to open up to people.
Through the Holy Spirit we can learn to trust in Him and through Him we learn to trust ourselves.

Living in fear is one of the greatest ploys the ego has to keep us locked into our need to be in control of the world we create. As long as we listen to the ego we will not be able to find the peace and joy that it takes to heal our ability to trust.

My Latest Teacher Is a Dog

by Rev. Susan Lewis, O.M.c.

When I get up this morning, our dog is whining in her crate in the dining room, a pan of rice is on the stove and there’s a note from my husband on the table. “Have taken Katy out 2X and fed her rice. Sorry to leave you the (poopy) mess on dog cushions, now in garage. Ran out of time.”

Sigh. The body’s senses report that our two-year-old rescue dog obviously had to go again after my husband left, which is why she’s standing up in her crate, whining and wagging her tail guiltily (my projection). I clean it up, pop the cushions in the washing machine and take her outside.

Forgiveness

by Rev. Georgeann Medved, O.M.C.

Lesson 249 of A Course In Miracles says, “Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.” This is true as spiritual destruction is the act of hanging on to grudges and old resentments. There is no spiritual release and relief until I release myself from the harmful, negative, get even and grudging feelings I harbor. There is also no way I can overemphasize the spiritual vulnerability that comes from hanging on to resentments. Resentment is my most perilous enemy.

What Lies Beyond

by Rev. Sherry Jonckheere, O.M.C.

Who are we? At the surface we are a conglomeration of feelings, emotions, experiences and unexplainable coincidences. Day by day we move through a world rocketing back and forth between an assortment of thoughts and feelings. Fear and love; life and death; God and ego. Fear thoughts bring us to those places within us that say, “Stop — do not go any further!” These are instantaneous glimpses at the death of the ego. The ego shrouds this fact with a worldly fear of some kind, but when I take it to truth, it is revealed that a fear thought is nothing more than the ego’s survival mechanism — it says, “This is too scary for you. Only I know what’s best for you. I’ll take control here and tell you what to believe and keep you safe.”

Peanuts and Pushing Peas

by Rev. Nancy Moore, O.M.C.

One busy morning in a rush to get chores out of the way, I spilled a box of packing peanuts on my patio. They were scattered out all over, and so went my mind, to numerous scatter thoughts of regret and of picking them up. I resigned myself to the task and soon relaxed and softened with a mind shift, opening to Holy Spirit’s message. With each single or handful I scooped, I thought, “I am Spirit. I am Love. All is well. We are one.” There was no struggle, the time flew, and I was finished with the pickup feeling soothed and uplifted.
