I pray that the world will acknowledge that indeed, as the founder of The Christian Science Monitor, Mary Baker Eddy said, “Truth is always the victor” and “Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals.”

Just looking at these prayers from all over the world regardless of religion, denomination or sect: such love pouring out from hearts acknowledging God’s (Life’s, Truth’s, Love’s) protection for each of his precious ideas (men, women, and children).

Truth is always the victor, and this prayer-fact is reliable. We can stand on this rock of truth. Paul’s supporters prayed for his release and Paul was delivered. Daniel on God to shut the lion’s mouths, and the lions could not touch him–they weren’t even tempted too! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego weren’t touched by the furnace. They walked through it, but not even the smell of fire was left upon them. Evil, error cannot stand up to Truth. Error and evil must always be destroyed by Truth.

My hope for today is that persons around the world read these prayers and recognize that we have more in common (Life, Truth, Love) than we can imagine.

My prayer for today is that the persons around the world, the captors, the hostages, and pray-ers and onlookers realize that good, God, Love, truly is the only power and that evil has only the illusion of power.

Well I am still living in Oakland in my lovely apartment. I have a new (old) bicycle that I just love, a canary yellow Lady’s Schwinn from the 70’s. On Wednesday, I took it in and the bike had a tune up, with new cables and housing, new brakes, new chain and a new back derailer. It looks great and I can’t stop looking at it!

As far as work, I am still looking and listening for the next adventure, life’s next turn. It is important to me that whatever I end up doing should bless the community. I am not “looking” too hard though because I am so enjoying the time off and the thought of being a “starving artist” and creating art all the time intrigues me.

As you can see from when this was posted, I still have a challenge of letting go of the day and climbing into bed. Late dinners and late nights are the norm that I am trying to break free from.

About two/three? weeks ago, I started the process of forming a group for “young Christian Scientists” in the Bay Area. Our first meeting will be in a few days. I hope we have a good turnout.

That is about it for now since it is bedtime.

Write me! I would love to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Hey Friends,

The TMC Youth is a great place to start in thinking about the future of our movement and how young people can contribute towards its prosperity and be blessed by it at the same time.

Some happening things are going on and lets be a part of it. Some things I would love to see develop in our community as Christian Scientists:

–Form a close knit but welcoming community

–Community service program

–Sit in a circle for services (at least occasionally)

–Youth lectures

–Offer Sentinel Radio on podcast

–Offer the Bible Lesson as a podcast

–Reverse Sunday Bible Lesson schedule so that the lesson read is then studied the week after.

–Have Connie Coddington’s show (and others if there are any) aired as a podcast
