The prosperity gospel proponents preach prosperity is having enough money for whatever you want and spending as if you will have the money if your prosperity consciousness is high enough.

Unique
Being true to Spirit within,
we are magnificent, unfolding creations of God.
Because of our diverse, unique features, talents, and backgrounds, we each fill a special place in life. At times we may wonder how we fit into what seems like a jigsaw puzzle of humanity. Yet being true to Spirit within each of us, we are magnificent, unfolding creations of God. We complete one another by being a unique part of the whole.
No one person can take the place of another. Being unique in the way we think, look, and sound, we add substance to the entirety of God's family.
When all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle are in place, the true picture emerges. So it is with each one of us. As unique as we are, we join with one another as the family of God.
"Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life."--Isaiah 43:4

Marathon Monks of Mt. Hiei, Nov. 1, 2008
You are invited to join us to watch The Marathon Monks of Mt. Hiei on Saturday November 1.Sunday Nov. 2nd is the NY Marathon and I thought it would be great to see how these monks train to walk a marathon ever day for 1,000 days. If they can complete this and the ceremonies at the end of the walking they are considered living Buddha's.
What better way to celebrate the NY Marathon weekend?
The author of the book that the film is based on was written by my friend and aikido teacher John Stevens. It will be great to share his experience of writing the book and I will have photo's of calligraphy done by two of the monks who have completed the training.
I think it will be an interesting evening inviting some good discussion and fun.
We hope to see you there.

Balanced Life
I live a full and dynamic life in the presence of God.
As I make plans for the day, the wisdom of an ageless scripture reassures me: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."
Centering my thoughts and decisions in the presence of God, I achieve balance in all my activities. Reflective, prayerful moments remind me to allow for time alone and for time shared with others.
I set aside a portion of my day for productive activity, and I also establish time for playful activity. I have time to give and time to receive. By balancing the activities that involve spirit, mind, and body, I live a full and dynamic life.
"I will study the way that is blameless. When shall I attain it? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house."--Psalm 101:2
