“We need to take responsibility for the effect of our environment on our nervous systems, and particularly the nervous systems of our children. No wonder so many of them are diagnosed with all the stuff they're diagnosed with today. Modern technology is a blessing to be sure, but it's also a curse if we allow it to pull us out of our spiritual center. A 24 hour electronic onslaught comes at the expense of our deep humanity and our deepest relationships.” IfsNeedsChildrenTodaySpiritualHumanityStuffHoursResponsibilityWonderTechnologyEnvironmentModernEffectsBlessingOur ChildrenNervousCurseExpensesTaking ResponsibilityOur EnvironmentNervous SystemModern Technology Author:Marianne Williamson

“"Sabbath is not primarily about us or how it benefits us; it is about God, and how God forms us. It is not, in the first place, about what we do or don't do; it is about God - completing and resting and blessing and sanctifying. These are all things that we don't know much about......But it does mean stopping and being quiet long enough to see - open-mouthed - with wonder - resurrection wonder.....we cultivate the "fear of the Lord". Our souls are formed by what we cannot work up or take charge of. We respond and enter into what the resurrection of Jesus continues to do."” KnowsFirstsMeanLongDoeSoulEnoughFormJesusWonderLordBlessingQuietBenefitsAll ThingsResurrectionStoppingSabbathCompletingJesus ResurrectionBeing Quiet Book:Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in Spiritual Theology Source: Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in Spiritual Theology
“What a way to learn great theology! That's what comes to mind whenever I sing one of those old hymns. "And Can It Be" is like putting the doctrine of salvation to music.
