Monday, September 9th, 2019
This Pentecost event transcended logical explanation. The disciples had a collective glimpse of the true substance of reality, and this propelled them to perform many “wonders and signs.” To human sense, the demonstration and recognition of true substance always seems like a wonder, because it defies human... - CAP#5— Have a Happy Friday the 13th with no chance in your paradise! .

Monday, September 2nd, 2019
Each of us will, of course, find our own inspiration from this week’s Bible Lesson on “Man.” For me, it is helpful to focus on the ways in which this lesson answers the questions, “What am I, and where did I come from?” The Golden Text provides a succinct response to these questions: “The Spirit of God has... - CAP--Debunk the fable of your dust-man origin!

The last sentence of the lesson reads “To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.” (S32) ... This sentence is the opening line to Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and I have heard so many people say that it was reading this statement at the beginning... - CAPs for Soul for August 18, 2019

I have the great joy and privilege to be writing this from Cedars Camps where we are daily learning more about the newness and freshness of ideas from the Bible and writings of Mary Baker Eddy (in keeping with our theme this year "Behold I make all things new").

Monday, July 22nd, 2019
From the time we were little kids we’ve been taught to “tell the truth.” In order to tell the truth, we need to know what the truth is. And, although this admonition is usually thought of in terms of accurately describing events, there is a deeper sense of telling the truth that has a much greater... - W’s Post Scripts: Have the faith in Christ's proven Science!

Monday, July 8th, 2019
The simplest way I’ve found to define “Sacrament” is that sacrament is the symbolic action(s) we take to feel our connection to divine Love. A sacramental action may be as basic as kneeling in prayer. Some churches have formal baptism and communion ceremonies as sacrament. According to the textbook of Christian... - Gain understanding of God through Scripture
Monday, July 1st, 2019
Mary Baker Eddy makes it clear that the only way that we can benefit from Scripture is by interpreting it spiritually. "The Bible teaches transformation of the body by the renewal of the Spirit.

Monday, June 17th, 2019
This is the first of several references in this week’s Lesson which speaks of God as the creator of all things. God (and all of creation) dwells in the kingdom of God — created by God (Mind). There is nothing left for man to create or to be the creation of anything other than the goodness of God. Have you noticed... - W’s Post Scripts: Open your eyes to no need to evolve!

We each have our unique place in God’s infinite manifestation of His perfection, and that place is loved and protected, for anything unlike God is simply outside of infinite... - Feel chosen!--Established on a solid foundation that cannot be undermined by lies!
Sunday, May 26th, 2019
In the Golden Text is the foundation for man's spiritual freedom and power in the face of what our material sense tells us is helplessness and victimization: We are chosen. God, the divine creator, chose man as His expression, as how He expresses life, being, joy, beauty, energy, intelligence, humor, grace, and on and... - Shine Forth as Soul’s Limitless Expression!
Monday, May 20th, 2019
This Lesson beautifully describes how completely Soul governs our being — as the sun governs its rays.

Monday, May 13th, 2019
There is no variableness in God. Whereas the sun shines from one point making it possible to create shadow and darkness as the earth turns, God is All, shining from all points at once—so no shadows are possible. God expects man made in His image to be consistent as well—not just hearers, but doers of the word. So... - W’s P'Scripts: See God face to face – know yourself as God knows you!

Monday, April 29th, 2019
Throughout this lesson we find that we are called upon to progress and improve our sense of self. The Responsive Reading from Ezekiel is one such passage, urging us to turn away from paths that are not Godlike. You may enjoy thinking of verse 41 of Lamentations 3 in the Responsive Reading, as a prayer: "Let us... - W's PS--Obey Christ's command, Go, and sin no more!

Monday, April 22nd, 2019
The Responsive Reading introduces “the way" to salvation/health that corrects the lie that we are stuck in a birth-life-death-afterlife trajectory. With all of the references to “the way,” “the pathway,” “the path,” “steps," and so forth, the RR is like a prayer map to understanding eternal Life...We... - W’s Post Scripts: on Probation after Death

Monday, April 15th, 2019
Compared to viewing Jesus’ atonement as a substitute for our own work, accepting the responsibility of working out our own salvation can seem to be a daunting task.

Be inseparable from Love – “convinced that neither death, nor life, nor...
Monday, April 1st, 2019
All I can think about as I read this week's lesson is how we are not separate beings from Love. We are not separated by unreality, by matter, by mist or the mortal dream. We are not separated from Love by sickness, by human knowledge or dogma. We are not separated by material, so called laws, or by human will. Our... - W’s Post Scripts: Dispel all “April Fool’s” dreams as unreal nightmares!

Monday, March 25th, 2019
True spirituality is founded upon the rock of knowing that there never was a starting point of existence, that light is eternal, good is eternal, and Truth is eternal. Light offers many wonderful metaphors for understanding our eternality and our relationship to God—the source of all light. We can look through the... - W’s PS: Achieve the Divine Reality of Angelic Anticipation and Execution in All that YOU Do! --...

Monday, March 18th, 2019
It’s amazing how many “little things” would try to distract us from fully focusing (and relying) on the reality of God, Spirit. But, how wonderful to know that, “if anyone loves God [with awe-filled reverence, obedience and gratitude], he is known by Him [as His very own and is greatly loved].” (Amp.v. 3) We... - W’s Post Scripts: See thru crystallized limitations that come with the lie of life in matter.thru

Monday, March 4th, 2019

In Christian Science man is the expression of God, or Soul. Just as God is our Life, God is our Soul. Our being isn’t in a body, but in Spirit, God. Admittedly, this view is a departure from conventional thinking. Throughout this week’s Lesson, we have examples that follow a similar pattern.
