I Am Sustained by the Love of God

by Rev. Myron Jones, O.M.C.

An excerpt from the journal I keep on my study of the Workbook Lessons

I am not going to list all the ways in which I try defend myself. Jesus has done that and I am fully aware of my own favorite methods. These are the words I want to contemplate this morning.

“Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.”

A Brother, a Mentor, a Friend

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

A couple of years ago, I began attending a Wednesday evening ACIM study group that a friend of mine had told me about which was being held in the home of a local couple. I had recently decided to begin studying the Course again, so I decided to give this group a try. For me, studying the Course with a group makes it much easier to understand and apply to my life.

Dennis and his wife were both elementary school teachers and long time students of the Course. They had been studying it as a couple for many, many years. Dennis had retired but his wife was still teaching. One of the first things I noticed when I arrived at their home was a big yard sign out in front that read: “A Course in Miracles” and it had two meeting times on it. There was a meeting Wednesdays at noon and then again at 6 p.m.!  Dennis also started a Saturday morning group at the local library and a Tuesday morning group at a nearby Starbucks!

You Are Me and I Am You

by Rev. Tricia Andrew, O.M.C.

It is sometimes difficult
to discern path large or small
Sometimes I cannot see the path at all

I know that I’ve been down this
path before to revisit and savor
my experiences once more

God Is the Love in Which I Forgive

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

Throughout Linda’s life, she experienced pain that she believed was physical. Last June after getting a hip replacement for a broken hip, she has experienced continual pain in her hip, lower back and left shoulder. The night after beginning to work with ACIM Lesson 46, the pain became so bad, she could barely walk and she became despondent. She went to bed crying out to Holy Spirit: “Holy Spirit, help me.”

Lesson 46 starts with: “God does not forgive because He never condemned. (1) And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. (2) Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them.” (4)

Awakening Through My Special Relationships — Part 4: Mom

by Rev. Linda LaCasse, O.M.C.

This article is the fourth in a series of Holy Spirit’s use of my special relationships for the purpose of healing. It pertains to the year preceding the divorce from my second husband. 

New Year’s Day, 2011, my husband was as fully aware as I of the insanity of our marriage and verbalized his distress. For the next several weeks he broached the subject of counseling and every time he did, my blood literally ran cold. I knew what my truth was but I couldn’t speak it.  I often tried to, for I could barely contain my unhappiness, but each time I would be forced to stop upon hearing the words, “not yet.” I knew I was to be patient and wait for Holy Spirit’s guidance and timing.

My Story

by Maura Williams

Something happened to me in my 50’s. I’d been married to the same wonderful man for a very long time. We’d raised two girls, and by all appearances had a very nice life. There was only one problem. I was not happy. I bounced between content and miserable but I never felt truly happy. I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what it was that was bothering me. It seemed like my unhappiness was caused by so many different things. I tried to laugh it off as a mid-life crisis until someone told me I was well past middle age. Somehow that didn’t seem funny to me.

Finally I decided to do something different. I went back to school part time and I started reading A Course in Miracles. This was my second attempt at reading it. Someone suggested I find a study group this time, so I looked online and found a group that met at our public library. Rev. John Vise was the facilitator. I shot him a quick email with my contact information and he got right back to me and invited me to attend. I had no idea my life was about to change.

Living in the World While Waking Up

by Rev. Tarra Bennett, O.M.C.

My husband and I were returning from our Christmas vacation by car, which is not exactly the time of year for exploring as the back roads are sometimes blocked by snow. However the scenery can be very beautiful along the ocean towns where we live, even in wintertime, so we decided to treat ourselves as we had the entire day.

The first three towns we visited had easy access and the drive through each town was relaxing and scenic.

However, the fourth town that we decided to check out was on a dirt road that extended twenty-five kilometers off the main highway. My husband, Steve, was having second thoughts due to the distance and the road. However, he decided to go along with me since I really wanted to explore. Knowing that it was a dirt road, it would be more remote and more inviting for me.

Being Drawn In

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

Why have I been so strongly drawn to the teachings of A Course in Miracles? I had no previous strong spiritual beliefs. Although I attended Sunday school and became confirmed at age 13 as a Presbyterian, I stopped attending church and praying shortly after.

When I was a kid, I prayed for certain outcomes to take place that didn’t happen. Looking back, the things I prayed for were insignificant. I lost faith, however, that God was listening or watching me. Later on, the dogma of organized religion turned me off, as did the long history of violence in the name of God.

The One About Lesson 2

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

“I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning it has for me.” (W-pI.2)

It was Sunday, February 1st, about noon. I was up at our cabin on Whidbey Island preparing for my partner, Nancy, (who was in Seattle picking up my granddaughter,) and about a dozen friends, who were coming over to watch the Superbowl. I had the big screen TV on the pre game activities. Company was starting to arrive with enough food and treats to party through the evening, and Nancy made the 1:30 ferry. This game was going to be the most watched event in history! All was well! All was perfect!

Holy Spirit, Why Am I Doing This?

by Carly D. Glasmyre

As a Pathways of Light ministerial candidate, I am currently working on Course 112: Knowing Your True Purpose with Rev. Maria Felipe. In this course, one of the assignments is to ask Holy Spirit a question, and write down the answer received. When I got to this assignment, I listened within for what I needed to ask and was surprised when this came up: Why am I doing this? Why am I taking these Pathways of Light courses? Why am I doing A Course in Miracles? What is my true focus? What is the practice I should commit to?

Don’t Sweat Small Stuff

by Rev. Lorraine Merritt, O.M.C.

Don’t sweat small stuff…

Don’t sweat small…

Don’t sweat…

Don’t…

Do!

If I sit still and listen, the answer always comes. Even when it comes as if it were a tutorial.

How Can We All Get Along?

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

When we incarnate into this earthly existence, it becomes our nature to fight with each other, attack, discriminate and disregard those that we associate with every day. It isn’t uncommon to have a smile on our faces while, under the mask, we are seething. If we are all the “Son Of God,” how can we be so cruel to each other?

From the time we are small children, fighting with our siblings and throughout our lives with our classmates and then spouses and others, we seem to have continuous strife with our brethren. So why do we seem so compelled to continue to manifest war in our lives?

Where Am I Putting My Faith?

by Rev. Rosemarie Tropf, O.M.C.

I am currently studying the Pathways of Light Ministers Courses. I was working on course 901: Introduction to Miracles Practice at the time I participated in a call with Robert and Mary and other pathways ministers. Mary suggested we write down the following quote, and ask Holy Spirit how we can apply this in our lives:

“Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today.” (W-p1.4:3-4)

What Am I?

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

I am continuing to contemplate “Who is Maria?’

I get this: that I hate myself, and then I get that I am a ‘set of thoughts which make up ‘me’.

I am asking for Help to let go of the judgment of Maria.
