Here Today, here tomorrow.

Monitor founder Mary Baker Eddy was dedicated to helping others grasp the concept of God’s allness and its power to heal and maintain lives for the better without interruption. She wrote: “Let us remember that God – good – is omnipotent; therefore evil is impotent. There is but one side to good, – it has no evil side; there is but one side to reality, and that is the good side.

“God is All, and in all: that finishes the question of a good and a bad side to existence” (“Christian Healing,” p. 10).

Prayer gives us the spiritual authority to lift our thought above dark images of decline and retrogression to our God-bestowed growth in grace – the only reality we truly have and can never lose.

Mrs. Eddy continues on the same page: “If you wish to be happy, argue with yourself on the side of happiness; take the side you wish to carry, and be careful not to talk on both sides, or to argue stronger for sorrow than for joy. You are the attorney for the case, and will win or lose according to your plea.”

The spiritual law of one good side and its action supports the prayerful plea for ourselves and our neighbors near and far. It is always operating to reveal our true freedom and peace, even in the midst of opposing and obstructing tyranny and violence that would bring down sincere actions for economic, social, political, and religious reforms.

Home is not a place, it is a power.

The strongest tie I’ve ever had apart from the love of God, has been my love of Home . . .

If you cannot make a home here, you cannot anywhere.

Mary Baker Eddy

Hello My dear friends! This is “Daddy Dell” coming through with a message about how the Divine One works wonders in transforming our stuck areas of thought and feeling!

It had been quite awhile since I have attended a CS Wednesday night session. But with the urging of good friend we both attended church this week.  When testimony time came I, like many of us, became apprehensive to get up and speak, especially to be the first one!

But that “heavy silence” got to me and I found myself standing up in spite of my feelings.  I spoke about a sense of loss of  ”home”  which started when the property my folks had on beautiful Sanibel Island,  Florida was sold a number of years ago.

Mom’s lovely home was torn down by the new owners of the land on the Gulf and it was replaced by a huge monstrosity instead!  Even though this new place was right next door to the cottage where we  stayed  I could not bear to look at it!

Finally, after several days, my good buddy urged me to go over and face the

“lost home dilemma”.  We walked through and all around what once was very familiar territory.  Although I did get to touch a few of the palm trees I had helped plant some years ago nothing else seemed familiar.  As I turned around to look at the replaced entrance way I realized that the old wonderful warm welcoming feeling I always had when visiting there was gone!

And then instead of feeling sad about a loss and anger at what the new owners had done to the place I suddenly felt relieved of a heavy burden in my heart as a calm wise sounding voice spoke within me and said;  ”Dell, you did not lose your home here … no matter what you see there now.  Your “home” and your sense of home will never leave you!  It is within you, in your heart and spirit which are always with you!

So feel the comfort of that awareness and be content.  What a joyous relief!  We know that Mrs.Eddy herself was thrust out of several homes before she became self sufficient!

But we learn that Divine  Love supports us wherever we are.  As that meeting progressed several other members of the church also got up and mentioned that their sense of loss of home also had to be healed. It made me realize that we are not alone with our problems.

Others may have similar situations and could benefit from hearing about how our healings came about.  So my dear ones share your concerns and healing experiences, we are together in Emergence International as brothers and sisters as one family and loving support is here!

Lead Me to the Rock

Psalms 61: 1-5, 8

Hear my prayer, O God; attend unto my prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock

That is higher than I.

For thou hast been a shelter for me,

And a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle forever:

I will trust in the covert of thy wings.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock

That is higher than I.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:

Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear my name.

So will I sing praise unto thy name forever,

That I may daily perform my vows.

Hear my prayer, O God; attend unto my prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock

That is higher than I.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

The time for thinkers has come.

How would civilation have advanced if the thinker and discover, the philosopher and artisan had kept silence?

To Injure No Man But To Bless All Mankind.  -  Mary Baker Eddy

To The Point!   by Linda Rohrs

Thinking back on my childhood I recall my mother telling me not to point at people when we were out in public.  Good manners and civility aside, there is a powerful metaphysical basis for extending this courtesy, too! In absolute Christian Science, a radical departure from so called mortal mind’s business as usual, we glean from revelation that there is only one Mind in operation in our Universe leaving no fallible separate corporeal minds or bodies to point out.  Infinity is One!  A false belief in so called “dual citizenship”, that God’s man is mortal and immortal, can not stand.  In our spiritual unfoldment we understand Scriptural wisdom not be fooled in believing in “…gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” (I-Cor.
