Faith-Lift

<img src="http://abqcsl.org/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/inline-ima... alt="" title="" class="image-thumbnail" /> There is a deep knowing that sits at the center of who and what we are, and when we access and remember this knowing we feel connected to all that is. And then we want to explain it, make it make sense, find words to describe this knowing and we inevitably fall short. In fact when we try to explain our knowing we block our ability to actually experience the fullness of remembering who we truly are.

Join us on Sunday to get a Faith-Lift, and we celebrate the sacredness of Mother’s Day.

With Great Love,
Rev. Kylie Renner

Loves Me Like A Rock

<img src="http://abqcsl.org/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/inline-ima... alt="" title="" class="image-thumbnail" /><em><strong>An ounce of mother is worth a pound of priest.</strong></em>
- Spanish Proverb

Is the phrase Mother-Father God simply a nod to gender inclusivity? Or are we talking about specific qualities or aspects of Spirit when we open up to God as Divine Mother? Of course, we recognize that Universal Spirit transcends gender, containing and including everything that could be described as "masculine" and "feminine." <em>And</em> this includes all "maternal" energies - love, acceptance, nurturing, cradling, supporting...
Today, as we honor all the mothers in our lives, all those who embody these divine qualities, let's also celebrate God as Mother - God as the Presence and Power of Unconditional Acceptance and Support.
Happy Mothers Day!
With Love,
Andrew

Open Sesame

Openness is an ability to go with the flow, as Taoism puts it, without expecting predetermined outcomes. It means being receptive to new possibilities, without prejudging them. It is an ability to make yourself available to out-of-the-ordinary opportunities, and to Spirit itself. There is freedom in openness because there is no need to fear what we are letting into our lives or what we are letting out of us.

Join us on Sunday as we open to freedom, purpose, love, peace and prosperity.

With Great Love,
Rev. Kylie Renner

By being receptive, we can avail ourselves of the spiritual wealth available to us. By being open, we can receive things beyond what we ourselves might imagine.

First, Drop the Cattitude

I'm a "cat person". Still, I freely admit that most cats have lousy attitudes. Plenty of people do, too. And it really can make a difference if we just adjust our outlook, shift our perspective, apply a positive spin... Affirmations and upbeat statements of belief are terrific! They can create a "container" for Divine Goodness to show up in our lives.
But affirmative attitude adjustment is just the first step. We've got to be willing to go deeper if we want to experience lasting transformation. Because sometimes the way life shows up doesn't seem to jive at all with the simple positivity of "It's all God - It's all Good". Sometimes life totally chafes against any and all notions of Universal Goodness, right?
It can seem like our crummy attitudes are justified. We might get frustrated.
But I wanna tell you - this is where it really gets good! These discordant times, when affirmative attitude rubs uncomfortably against experience - this is when we're drawn deeper to examine and transform our beliefs. And beliefs are where it's really at.
Can't wait to see you this Sunday, at 1:15. With Love, Andrew.
