Atheist Friends

[Lightspirit]

Before we called ourselves any label or affiliated with anything we were all people exactly the same as each other. After we chose labels and ideologies we are all people exactly the same as each other with struggles and flaws.

What individualises us is the principals that we aspire to and cherish. Hang out with those who cherish the same principals you do because if you hang with people who don't only you may become like them and you will have an inner struggle of wrong and right you could have avoided from the beginning.

Balance is good here regarding time spent with who.

I just spent over 40 yrs trying to find a "fit" for a church for me and the best I
found back in the 80's was Science of Mind (SOM) aka Religious Science....I embrace the principles and St. Mattress is my facility church....for many yrs St. Beach was my facility. This works good for me and I don't buy any of the hardline religions, born and raised a catholic....what did I know. j

Jesus Clams the Storm

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples. “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him. “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be Still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

40 “He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

While in England I went to a small Village named Eyam, it is well known for its history but that is not where this story unfolds. While I know I was “called” to visit Eyam I had no intentions of going to Sunday Service while in England. That changed when I say that “Everyone Welcome” on the Churches there, and I came to note it was Sunday. We (my friend and I) decided to go the Church of Eyam, and that was the best decision. We were warmly welcomed and blessed to be guided by someone there through the full service procedure. We read from the Bible and we sang it was amazing even had Communion.

When in the Chapel at Haddon Hall there in one of the “Frescos” was a scene from this very verse of the Bible. We both were amazed by once again having an event of synronicities but we had one more to come. Things are said to come in 3’s and it seems this was the case we had unfold.

What is the amazing part of this passage I have here is first that it so meant something to my friend that day, with the added words of the Reverend it spoke volumes to him. That is but part one of the meaning of this passage. The last night that I was in England I decided to check into a hotel by the airport and like all hotels have there is a Bible in the night stand. I like to look at the page that someone has marked it at and I was honestly stunned to find that it was marked to the same passage read on Sunday in Church. I showed it to my friend and he was blown away. I took a picture of the book. Our room number was “111” and we thought that too amazing, as there were only 3 rooms left when we called. Powerful number’s with meanings.

As it is written in the passage... about casting all our care upon Him;

"because, He careth for you."
