The Four Agreements

April 22, 2009 – 2:01 pm
Patrick preached a sermon on the Four Agreements a few weeks ago.  This concept comes from a book by the same title by Don Miguel Ruiz.  We will be reading this book for the next several weeks, but before we can discuss the Four Agreements we need to talk about our dreams and find out what it is that keeps us from being free.  This will be the last book for awhile, we will be taking the summer off and then regroup in the fall and there will be no discussion next week as many of us head out on a cruise to relax and regenerate.  Please post your toughts on the Four Agreements I know many of you have read this book and I would appreciate you sharing how it has touched your life. Peace, joy and Love Danny

This chapter has some really intense moments and a lot of truth in it, I have posted the questions from the study guide which I feel stand alone so have not posted any of my thoughts in order to let you form your own thoughts, we have been having some excellent discussions on Wednesdays and I have no doubts that this week will be just as good. Peace, Joy, and Love Danny

I have posted the questions from the study guide and some points that we will be discussing in the book study.  Today I received an email from Rev.

Bulletproof Faith - Chapter Two 2/4/09

February 3, 2009 – 7:24 pm
Bulletproof Faith Chapter 2 Losing Our Religion 2/3/09   Session Two: Chapter 2 & Spiritual Exercise Chapter 2: Losing Our Religion This week’s study guide involves a lot of introspective thought and process, you may find that these questions are perfect to start journalizing.  I have left my comments to a minimum since I believe that you will have a lot to think about, just as those on Wednesday night will have a lot to say.   1. Episcopalian priest Hazel Glover tells Chellew-Hodge, “God created us because God thought we might enjoy it.” Chellew- Hodge also advises us to give up anything in our lives that makes us cry. Do you believe God created us to enjoy life and that misery is a clue that we’ve wandered away from God’s will for our lives? Why or why not? It has been said God created us because he has a sense of humor, how does that speak ...

Bulletproof Faith 2/4/09

February 3, 2009 – 7:21 pm
That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight, I'm Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try These lyrics from REM came to mind when I read this chapter.  Too often those who would be against us would like us to loose our religion, it serves their purpose to think of us as religionless, what they forget is that we have faith, faith in God, Faith in love, and Faith in each other and that is what keeps us going.  The questions for this week's book study are posted.  I hope you are enjoying the book we had an awesome discussion last Wednesday and I am excited to think of the one we will be having ...

God on the Dock

November 12, 2008 – 5:57 pm
How many times have you found yourself lost in the stars?  Gazing up into the dark night and seeing the pinpoints of lights of other suns or planets, Jesus and Mack find themselves doing just that in this chapter and its wonderful to find Jesus impressed by the view.  A lot of times we find ourselves amazed by the little things in our lives, I guess you could call looking at the stars a little thing based on what we believe Jesus and God have created.  At least it makes for good conversation between Jesus and Mack, so why not call up a good friend, go out watch some stars one night and have a good conversation of your own?  Check out this week's notes. As Always Peace, Joy and Love, Danny
