I wanted to let you know that your address this year was the perfect boost for me - exactly the right message at exactly the right time. Of course! Thank you again for all you are doing. I believe everyone in attendance this year tangibly felt the healing presence of the Christ at work. I will attempt to express my gratitude through my acts this year, as no lesser expression would suffice. Thanks again!

Principle corrects improper actions
Elise,
Wanted to thank you again for your help last month. I gained a greater sense of dominion and peace and clarity from your work. Also wanted wanted to let you know the progress.
I so appreciated your emphasis on Principle and many times I have remembered your saying "Stand on Principle!"
I also worked with our Leader's words from Unity of Good, "God has no bastards to turn and rend their maker. The divine children are born of law and order and Truth knows only such".
After another reminder regarding the items removed and no return,I turned to the Matthew code and asked my brother to accompany me to call on my sister. We first spent 3 days inventorying the house and then dropped in on her and her family. I wasn't sure what I would say but I knew God would show me. After I informed her regarding the inventory of the house, her husband got up and brought out this huge box filled with items they had removed. None of which I had realized were missing. After we finished he got up and came back with another box filled with money and jewelry - some of which I had missed and some not. We discussed 3 other items that were missing but they offered no comments. They also asked about some other items that have not been found. I have gained a greater sense of peace about this although I know it is not finished. It is a start and I will stick with it. I suspect that some of the items have been disposed of. I know that Truth will uncover this or whatever the case is and lead me in the way to best proceed.
Many thanks,
Jane

Society formation
Val, What an amazing mothering job you have! Mothering these beautiful groups and shepherding the thought awakening to the Christ. I don't know if Oaxaca applied years ago but I do know that they were very close with dearest Eberhard. My intuition is that this is a moment for mothering from The Mother Church.
As I encouraged the C. Victoria group, to me it's not so much about becoming a Society for our benefit or support. It's letting others find us, know we are there, know where to find healing and help in a geographic area. We are shining whatever spiritual light we are reflecting like a beacon and all the spiritually minded will see it and be led to Christian Science.
Anything I can do any time to help these beacons of light especially in the Spanish field I'm willing.

Great conversation
There were many Pentecostal moments for me the past few days. The most important and the greatest for me was our conversation. It has given me hope, great hope, and renewed my spirit. I would go on any ship with you as captain, confident that you are primarily and ultimately entirely guided by God. My purpose is to the publish the word of God to all the world. Everyone truly is spiritually minded and as we remove the animal magnetism that would deceive or distract, that spiritual mindedness is seen and expressed ever more clearly. Preaching to the choir here.
But I mean it, last night was my Pentecost.
Forever grateful,

Definitely steps, to me big ones. There were many Pentecostal moments for me at this Annual Meeting. One was when Skip was announced as President. It felt like a 20 year journey had finally come full circle, closed the book, and we could truly move on. The theme of one accord took on a whole new significance for me in that moment. It was a Pentecostal moment.
Another was when you asked me to write a letter/proposal for an all-things Spanish website. It gives me such hope. I want to consult with my friends in the Spanish world to give a truly considered and realistic idea. As you might remember, I teach in June so if you will permit me, let me focus entirely on class and Association for the next 3 weeks. Then in July I'll focus on this project for a week and see what God reveals.
I've been thinking of several phrases. One is that we are preaching/promoting/demonstrating the Word of God. We aren't selling products or giving lectures per se. We are preaching, embodying the Word of God for the glory of God. Then it has all the power of God behind it. I've been thinking about a phrase, do more for less, meaning we can all do more with less money. It's not a matter of money but revelation. The more revelation, the less money it seems to take. I'm also thinking the revolution of revelation, and being the embodiment of that. Enough prosaics.
It's very comforting to have you in the lecture meetings at TMC. It makes us feel connected to the Board and to the Church. It's a tremendous commitment of your time, and it makes us all feel like we are a priority in that moment. Thank you for that, Nate. You are a towering shining light and you fan the spark of hope into a burning fire.

Practical use of I Chronicles 28:21
In April we bought a home. I had mixed feelings about moving because we had truly enjoyed our 10 years there.We had a large piece of property to maintain and it seemed time to find a place that met our present needs.
Because the move was only 4 miles,and there was work to be done to get our home ready for selling, we decided to move a little each day. Also, I needed to separate a lot of things to be taken to different places.
About this time I remembered a Bible verse from I Chronicles 28:21 "and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man,f or any manner of service."
What a promise!
So after we moved things we could handle our son helped us move some heavy items. Then my brother-in-law and his brother came up for a week and did many repairs at the property. They also emptied out barns and garages and made several trips to the dump and recycle center. About the the same time a dear friend was having an estate sale and I was able to take many items there and also help out at the sale.
Then my 2 brother-in laws came up and helped for a weekend. My brother came down and took some things he needed.T hen a friend sent a computer "geek" over to install our electronics. A few days later a neighbor came over when he saw us trying to carry in a heavy piece of furniture and lent a hand. During our first few weeks there another neighbor sent their lawn service over to cut our grass. My son and his wife have been helping us get our pool set up because they used to work in that capacity.
On Mother's Day our AC compressor burnt up before we were able to pay for the home warranty, so my husband called an AC man he knew and the next day we had a new unit. We also had an old work truck for sale that he wanted, so we traded it out.
A week ago family members built bookshelves in my very own office!!!! And this week there is some one here organizing our garage and making a few more changes we needed done.
This Bible verse, this promise,"there shall be with thee every willing skillful (wo)man" continues to bless us all!!
Much love---Nancy

Twitter posts helpful
Thanks for the Helen Keller post yesterday. I had read it earlier in the day and had been thinking a lot about what was the one thing I could do. After contemplating the one thing I could could do (know that God WAS in control no matter what or how things seemed to be) I had a phone call from a friend. She was hysterical, felt that God had turned HIS back on her and her family, didn't want to live any longer, etc. She said that she had called a cs practitioner for the umpteenth time, but that once again, she just couldn't find peace - that CS didn't work for her - maybe for others, but not for her.
I knew that the practitioner's prayers had been effective, and I prayed to know what, if anything, to say. The first thing that came to me was YOU, LORIE, DO THE ONE THING YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW - KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL! And yes, the message came in capital letters! It was so simple - one thing, only one thing! And that one thing was not requiring anything of me except to confirm what I already knew. I could do that, and I did.
The second thing I thought of came from a day of class where you addressed those exact words - that cs works for others but not for me. I then gave a treatment (to myself) for AM. Thank you again for last year's address re treatment for oneself vs treatment for another. It's been getting more and more clear this year - the immediate need is to treat my own thought first!!!! And it's true, when I address my own thought, sometimes it's not necessary to address another. (OK, you know this, I'm letting you know that I'm getting it on a deeper level!)
At the end of the conversation I mentioned this twitter posting to my friend and sent it to her. She wrote back later in the evening and said that for the first time, she felt an indescribable sense of peace and well-being!!!! She said that she COULD hold on to one thing, and her thought was that God loved her and that He was directing her path.
Please know, Elise, that these postings are really appreciated and helping me and others! I've introduced at least 5 others to your postings, and who knows how many others they have in turn introduced.
