Hello my friend. I have been praying and thinking about all that is going on in the world right now. I am deeply saddened by the recent bombing during the Boston Marathon and all that is surrounding those events. The fertilizer plant in Texas just adds to the disaster and is really bringing up fear in so many of us. I want to encourage you to spend some time today in prayer. Center yourself in God and ask for wisdom and guidance as to what you are to do. Pray for those affected directly and tragically by these events. Also pray for the law enforcement and leaders who are doing their best to find a way to support those in need and protect citizens so it doesn't happen again.

I am reminded today though, that we are all needed to create a world of peace. It is important that we know our neighbors and support them when we can. And also, to notice if something doesn't seem right about a situation and let authorities know when it happens. I don't think we can blame authorities for things not going well, or blame one religious group - it's not that simple. It is up to every one of us to live a God-centered life and support our families, loved ones and neighbors. I know we do, and we may be being called to do more and be more. My prayer today is to ask Spirit - what is mine to do? For now, mine to do is support the growth and consciousness of myself and those I serve.

Please do your soul work today! And know

I support you with my thoughts and prayers as you do.

I hope to see you this Sunday as we are uplifted by Arvel Bird and Rev. John McLean.

In love and peace,

Cynthia Alice
