Wednesday of Holy Week

Trials are proofs of God;s care. … Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need. ~MBEddy

Unless the story our life tells is God's story, our life tells no story.

Without hope we have no strength to arise from our bed to do what is ours to do.

The journey of Jesus to Jerusalem & the cross began on an unbroken colt ridden through crowds of material expectations

The humility of Jesus cannot be matched or surpassed. What could he gain for himself? Agape without price for us.

Weapons of this world flash as they are wielded against brothers. Forsaking God, men seek to kill His image

Sparing nothing, Jesus continues onward to prove the power of immortal Love in defeating men's most feared foe, death.

Our world in turmoil pictures a battle that is not ours, a battle not of matter but of powers and principalities.

As we commemorate the journey of Jesus, we plant the seeds of his fruitage that must emerge gently into a new day.

For Jesus' willing acceptance of the cross, the only proof we could understand, we owe him endless homage.

Every time you forgive you disappoint the devil. ~Bible Time

When forgiving seems most difficult, I am reminded:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ~ Phil4v13

Over the centuries we think to the work of Christ Jesus that saved us though we do not comprehend his love for us.

Every individual reflection of Soul needs its rightful nutriment. It doesn't diet. Feed it daily with gratitude.

There is a new sense pf Spirit blowing across the fact of the earth.

As the Triduum nears let us, Christians and struggling hearts everywhere, set our sails to catch its healing wind that will carry us to Easter.

a well-versed blog

You are invited to follow my very short poetry blog -- a mix of word games and poetry through the eyes of Science. 

rearing morphemes

the art of socializing word-seeds

The idea of morphemes resonated with me because each of us are like a morpheme, the smallest unit of language that can convey meaning. We are unique, individual units of meaning that can interact to create a larger idea - a more God idea. Like brother birds, word-seeds flock together. So now you know a bit of the backstory.

Most posts are from @mrphms posts. I chose "mrphms" because it is shorter. 

Blogging posts from Twitter requires more time than it takes to compose. So do not be surprised if the blog is not as current as the tweets. In any case, I hope you will find a smile or two. 

Please leave a comment to make my heart happy.

God created man

     In the beginning, man,

          conceived in Mind,
               reflects Soul; 
          formed of Spirit,
               likens Principle;
          known by Life, Truth & Love,
               images God,
                    now and forever.

                                                            ~Carolyn St.Charles

     Man reflects God by virtue of his authentic DNA. 
     Man, who lives in the world, is conformed by God.

     Man experiences pain when not aware of this fact.
     Man, who holds he is agnostic or an atheist, sleeps.

     Man dreams his world and claims it as his creation.
     Man, tossing and turning, tries to govern but cannot.
    
     Man becomes battle-tired and hears his name called.
     Man, opening his eyes, clears away the blurring veil.

     Man was mystified by the unreal but now is awake.
     Man, feeling satisfied, healthy and joyous, laughs.
     
     Man knows the good, truth and beauty as God said.

Science and Love

SCIENCE begins with G as in LOVE

Christian Science Society of San Juan Capistrano

Wednesday Readings for February 13, 2013

The citations below are part of the ongoing internal conversation of the Christian Science Pastor, The King James Version of the Bible (in BLUE) and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (in RED) by Mary Baker Eddy. This portion of the conversation begins with the creation of a home for man made in the image and likeness of God. Within the home, man, male and female respond to the command of God to be fruitful, multiply and in marital chastity to fill the home until the day that there is no more giving and receiving in marriage.

HOME    

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
   And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
   And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: ... Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
   And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.    And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ... And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply...

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. (1) Genesis

   Home is the dearest spot ...
   Pilgrim on earth, thy home is heaven, stranger thou art the guest of God. (A) Marriage, Footsteps of Truth)

Science and Life

SCIENCE begins with G as in LIFE

Wednesday Readings for January 30, 2013

Readings  from the  King James Version of the BIBLE 

with correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, 

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures 

by Mary Baker Eddy  (Citations follow)

The BIBLE 

Genesis, Hosea, Jeremiah, I Corinthians, Deuteronomy,

Jonah, Matthew, John, Acts and Science and Health  

Genesis and Chapter 17 Glossary

In the beginning …

In the beginning God …

In the beginning God (1) [The great I AM; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; … Life; (A)] … created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply…. (2)

Hosea

Genesis

This is the book of the generations of Adam.

… the woman … took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

… the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

… he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, … And she again bare his brother Abel.… Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Concluding Statements

Every Christian Science Sunday Service concludes with

theses two citations and a Benediction.

Scientific Statement of Being   designed by CaroNote

The first is from the Christian Science textbook, 

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. 

I John 3:1-3   design by CaroNote

The second and correlative passage is from I John3:1-3.

The first states man's true origin and nature. Man is not a mortal material body but the spiritual image and likeness of God. It for this reason that man is referred to as the reflection of God.  

The Scientific Statement of Being reasons that God's image, man, cannot be what God is not or have what God does not have. Man's health is a portrait of the God he images, an exact reflection of God who is perfect. In other words, man cannot lack health.  

That said, when relying on material senses, the portrait appears imperfect suggesting that God is whimsical, changeable. Man appears to be conformed by the world, matter-limited, matter-governed and matter-dependent. But can that be the truth of man created in the image of God who is Spirit, Life and Mind? Can such a portrait of God be reasonable? 

Can man image another original? Can there be another original when God is infinite and eternal? When God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient? All-power, Everywhere-present, All-knowing?

The correlative passage from I John confirms that perfect God and perfect man is the Truth. It confirms that man can only reflect the real and perfect that the world cannot recognize or know. The world knew our master not, why should the world know us?

In I John, we are exhorted to purify ourselves, to reject world beliefs and be true "sons of God" loved by the Father who is Love. We are instructed to be, in expression, the spiritual man unknown by the world. We are reminded that we are sons of God, now, and no future appearance or form will change this fact. 

SUMMARY

Christian Science Sunday Services close with two citations that, together, tell us who we are, our duty and our expected outcome. We are brought to the absolute Christian conclusion that is Scientifically provable by every man, male and female. We are then, sent forth with a blessing to demonstrate the Truth we have shared.

Quest for a Crèche

...

On Call 24/7

Have a crucial Q? 

Don't know what to do?

Don't know which way to go?

Here is a universal, practical and effective A:

Find a quiet spot, open the Pastor and read. Ideas will come to your thought and jump-start knowing your right first or next step.  
Thank, trust and step out.

As you read, Angels. God's thoughts passing to man..., will come to your side. You won't have to make an appointment or call ahead. Love has already prepared everything for you.

Sound simple? Well, it is. What may seem hard is finding someone to walk with you through the valley.  But that is not a problem, this Pastor is open around the clock, even on Christmas Day. 

The never-out-for-lunch-or-dinner-or-anything Pastor.

If you are in a hotel room, you may find "50 shades of gray" at hand, but gray is not the color for clarity. It will blend in with the mist that you may already may see. You need more definition, more contrast like black ink or pixels on white paper or background that spell out right ideas that will help you understand what is true about God's love for you, right there, right now.

            Here is are two helpful linked screenshots to illustrate: 

 

 

             
             Isaiah 30:21

The commercial side of December seems to trigger stress and to grow worries clouding thought. But the spiritual gifts Christmas brings are just your size, style and color. They include Peace, Joy, Light, Carols, Love and more.

The true heart and meaning of Christmas is not to be missed. 

A visit with the Pastor will light your way to Christ, Truth, the Bethlehem Babe.

Wishing you the full measure of Christ's Christmas promise,

+Carolyn St.Charles

"Great is the reward of self-sacrifice."

...according to thy word

Readings from

Isaiah,  Matthew  and Luke in the King James Version of the BIBLE

and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy

(Citations follow)

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me [Isaiah]; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek(B1)

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.  ...the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ...in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. ...and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. ...I the Lord will hasten it in his time.(B2)

...all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:(B3)

...a certain priest named Zacharias, ...went into the temple of the Lord.

The CROSS and CROWN

...

Below is a presentation of one of Mary Baker Eddy's thoughts 

about the trials one encounters while searching for Truth.

It is simple and short and true.

It may remind you of a time when you eagerly embarked....

Popout

Recent headlines indicate that people around the world are looking for the stability Truth offers and are embarking on a search for it. They are encountering stormy seas where what they trusted is proven unreliable. They are finding that wanting something like freedom is not enough, it must be claimed and possessed. 

While in the midst of such hard and even violent battles with error, God's unfailing care may seem hard to remember and believe. Recalling what has been proven to be true and victorious in previous times may feel impossible. But rejecting panic and calling on the tiniest shard of Truth will turn the tide.

Know the Truth and Truth will set you free. (1)

Truth known is Truth called upon. It sets free like someone waking you up from a dream of flooding waters. You find you are dry. There is no need to dry the floors, there was no flood. There were no waters though they appeared so very real and frightening while dreaming. They didn't go away, they were never there.

Truth brings to light the ever presence of Love and Its eternal care for Its child. Love is trustworthy because It cannot contradict Itself. It operates by Its uninterrupted eternal law that saw all It had created as not only "good," but "very good."(2)    Love does not rethink.

Seeking Truth is safe. Your crown awaits.

Warmly,

+Carolyn St.Charles

Thanksgiving 2012

Wishing you 

a 

Satisfied and Happy Thanksgiving Life.

The photo background of the Psalm 26 quote:

"Sunset in the Moonlight" 

 It seemed to express the sense of calm our world desires.  There is one moon that we all share reflecting the light of our one sun.

Rockwell or Black Friday?

After all the news and discord about stores opening a day early to get Black Friday shopping jump started, I was musing about the state of celebrating Thanksgiving. Admittedly it was from a material perspective but with a tradition push-back. Thought you might find interesting so here is my post from G+ on the topic.

Rockwell Thanksgiving passé?   Et tu, Black Friday?

With all the focus and concern on eliminating stress and obesity, how does having Thanksgiving Dinner with family on Black Thriday help? Isn't that at least as stressful as playing Bingo using a card having no Free Space?

Will #BlackThriday trend? Or will #Thanksgiving keep its traditional edge. Airports indicate that Thanksgiving has a staunch following - large numbers of people are willing to subject themselves to expensive indignities and discomfort in order to get "home" to family and loved ones. Highways are less clear indicators unless retail parking lot car counts offset traffic numbers.

What would be the effect on retail of being Thankful on a day in September? Or even once each month on the 2nd Thursday of the month? Turkey might be less often the entrée of choice along with other menu modifications.

I cherish the Free Space in life called Thanksgiving Day and its harvest gifts that have been simply or elaborately prepared to share in intimate gathering of family, friends, and loved ones. I want that for everyone wherever they find themselves, whatever their circumstances. Hangout gatherings online to share gratitude and meal fit perfectly. It is the unadulterated Spirit of Thankfulness of our annual Free Space that is its central attribute.

For the nostalgic hearts, a family outing IRL or virtual-visit to the Norman Rockwell Museum -- http://goo.gl/EYgOK

Happy Thanks Giving to each of you. Thank you for including me in your G+ world. May any losses you may have suffered be restored in ways that truly satisfy your heart.

You are loved!

+CarolynSt.Charles

TY!TY!TY!TY!TY

BTW, Black Thriday is my creative coinage so I claimed after searching for it with no results to indicate a prior usage. But it is, in fact, this year's gift from big boxes. And from reports, hosting us at their "BYO$ Party" has required much special training and preparation. Wonder what Sam would say???

Job and Mortal Man declared INNOCENT!

.

After the Storm -- a Rainbow

see below for citation table
The Bible:  JOB 

CEV  (1) - (12)  KJV  (13)

(1)

Many years ago, a man named Job lived in the land of Uz. He was a truly good person, who respected God and refused to do evil. ...He was the richest person in the East.
(2)

One day, ...the Lord asked, “What do you think of my servant Job? No one on earth is like him —he is a truly good person, who respects me and refuses to do evil.”

...Satan remarked. ...Try taking away everything he owns, and he will curse you to your face.”

(3)

Job’s sons and daughters were having a feast... when someone rushed up to Job and said, a gang of Sabeans attacked and stole the oxen and donkeys! Your other servants were killed, ...a second one came running up and saying, “God sent down a fire that killed your sheep and your servants. ...a third one raced up and said, “Three gangs of Chaldeans attacked and stole your camels! All of your other servants were killed ...when a fourth one dashed up and said, “Your children were having a feast... when suddenly a windstorm from the desert blew the house down, crushing all of your children.

When Job heard this, he tore his clothes and shaved his head because of his great sorrow. He knelt on the ground, then worshiped God  In spite of everything, Job did not sin or accuse God of doing wrong.
