Run Forest Gump Run
In the movie "Forest Gump" we see Forest succeedin just about every aspect of his life. What weadmire most about him is his ability to overcomephysical obstacles all throughout his life. Butwhat we didn't see is Forest had much more goingfor him than just being naive and gutsy. We firstsee this in a scene where he is a child withbraces on his legs. His best friend Jennie and himare walking home one day and some boys are pickingon Forest and throwing rocks at him. Jennie yellsout, "RUN FOREST RUN", so what did Forest do? Heran, and ran and ran. He ran so much and so hardthat his braces broke from his legs and he neverhad to wear them again. A real close friend said to me recently, "Drawingcloser to God and having a relationship with himis like running a race. You focus on the cross andyou run, run and run. And on occasion you look toyour side and see who is running along side you.It may be a friend, it may be a family member, oran accountability partner, or your spouse,girlfriend. But if you notice competitive runnersthey don't look back and wait for theircompetitors to be along side them. They stayfocused on the course ahead. In the end, ForestGump lived every experience with Jennie right byhis side. While she wasn't there physically allthe time, she was there in spirit; loving,inspiring, and encouraging him to run his racethat only he could run. So it is with God, the bible says in Hebrews 12:1,"Therefore since we are surrounded by such a hugecrowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let usstrip off every weight that slows us down,especially the sin that hinders our progress. Andlet us run with endurance the race that God hasset before us. (NLT) Yes, we want our loved ones to come along and yesif we are single we want a mate, yet the funnything is this. When we take the attitude God wantsus to take and focus on the cross, you may besurprised one day just like forest was when helooked to his side and saw all his hippie friendsrunning along side him across country, thatsomeone that God wants in your life will be rightthere with you running the race. Run a race this week! Focus on the fact that Jesusgave his life for us on the cross. Crank up theintensity, sign up for a building U course, takean ABF class, and invite someone to your house forfellowship. Whatever it takes, RUN, RUN, AND RUN TO THE CROSSTHIS WEEK.

Creating Your Soul-Centered Community Imagine for a moment. It's Tuesday night about 7pm. The 5 Elemental Codes: Seeing Your World Through the Eyes of Universal Understanding (Part 1) This article is the 1st part of an open response to a question that I encountered online a few years ago in one of the many Martial Arts Ninjutsu forums. The question (paraphrased) was:"What are the 5-elements (earth, wind, water, wood and metal) about that I have seen mentioned in books on ninjutsu?"As is so often the case when dealing with multiple personality types, egos, and the need for instructors to justify their positions and philosophies, the question went unanswered.

The Trust We Must Have to Manifest What We Truly Desire Some of my greatest teachers have taught me that faith and trust are two of our most powerful allies. True belief in your ability to create results in your life is based upon this trust. Understanding a Tarot Card Reading Getting the most from a Tarot card reading relies on the reader's ability to perceive not only the symbolic meaning from the spread, but also the mystical significance. Although every card of both the Major and the Minor Arcana possesses its own individual symbolism within the representative images on the cards, it is the deeper, spiritual enlightenment of the cards that leads to a greater understanding. The CAB Approach to Spiritual Growth I have been thinking a lot about the spiritual growth process and I thought I would share. I think that what enlightenment really involves is accepting the light that already exists within each of us and in every one and every thing. Honoring the Sacred in Everyday Life How many of us rush blindly through our days, fall into bed exhausted, and wake up the next morning to do it all over again? For many of us, our lives are composed of millions of meaningless moments, all strung together -- perhaps with a sprinkling of sacred moments mixed in. I'm sure you can think of a few sacred moments in your own life. How to Test the Spirits There is a specific technique that a Shaman uses to determine if spirits, guides, entities, beings that visit him or her are beneficial or not. It is an ancient technique that has been around as long as Shamanism has been around. What Is Your Relationship To Time? Have you ever thought about how your orientation to time profoundly affects the way you are in the world? Each culture has its own unique way of relating to the concept of "time". Some cultures perceive time as a room that is lived in. How Old Are You? Some of us might hear from time to time that we are "Old Souls". I remember when I was told this for the first time. Pioneering Insanity "They're crazy!" That's what they're saying about us. The majority of the people in America at this time in history do not channel spirits, do not converse with angels or aliens, do not astral project, do not know about any kind of higher vibration, and do not talk about Starseeds, Indigo Children, nor Lightworkers. Dear Lord As I sit here and ponder my existence my heart is burdened by much. See I seek you but feel so unworthy of you, unworthy to be looked on by you. Relationship Advice: What Bewitched Can Teach Us About Successful Relationships Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell recently starred in the movie version of the 1960s TV sitcom "Bewitched." For those of you who missed the movie or are too young to remember the TV show, here is the basic plot:Samantha Stevens is the wife who looks like a regular woman, but is in fact a nice witch, able to wiggle her nose and create any object, situation, or person she desires. Eliminating the Past Most forms of psychotherapy I know either tries to help you accept the past, understand the past, learn from the past, perceive the past differently, or try to take the emotional edge of the past. In spite of all this effort to ameliorate the effects of the past it, in the end, is still inside you and you continue to identify yourself with it. Our Virtual Reality Reality In earlier articles entitled "We Are Not Our Personalities", "Eliminating the Past" and "Fallacies About the Inner Child" I discuss how, employing a powerful new healing modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP), what we call memories, child ego states (i.e. Understanding the Gospel of Matthew and Why it Matters - Part 10 Matthew 3:7-10John Rebukes the Pharisees and Sadducees7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers!

Will the Angels Abandon Us? If we don't behave according to a specific church's doctrine, will our guardian angels turn their backs on us? If we are struggling with our overall belief in God or we're questioning the validity of the holy books, will the angels abandon us? What if we believe in God and in the Bible, but we just feel like screwing off for awhile? Will they desert us? Do we have to be good and pure and perfect in order for angels to look after us?I can only speak from my own experience. I was not raised in a church because my father is an atheist and my stepmother just didn't care either way.

Most of the clients in the realm that talk about this describe it as an "awakening" or experiencing an "enlightenment" or a "need for transformation. What Are You Leaving On The Table Of Life?
