Prayer Chaplain Corner
Greetings from your Prayer Chaplain Team
In 2005 my wife died of a massive heart attack. I found myself responsible for raising my three children. Just for a moment I was fine with the situation. My two daughters, wanted me to help them through the time of grief. They were teenagers and could figure out a lot of how to move through the heartache they felt. My two daughters were teenagers and “thank God” they wanted to create a life on their own. I can’t tell you how proud I was and how fortune I was to have them take this on. No one should be forced to do this. I know that this is happening all over the world, and thousands of innocent children are being killed for no reason, except the thirst and hunger for power.
Back then my main concern was telling my 3-year-old son the value of religion, or what I chose to call Spirit. Every Sunday my son and I bounced from one church to another. Then my son and I attended a service at Unity. My son didn’t like it, at all. He flat out told me he wanted to stop going to church services for good. I told him that would be fine as long as he focused on school.
It just so happened that I fell in love with Unity. From the lessons I have learned from Reverend Patrick, to immersing myself in the Daily Word and for loving Unity’s principles. Finally, I have the joy and honor of my life to be a prayer chaplain. Nothing could be better than this.
Thank you to all of you
Namaste

Myrtle the Mystic and Her Understand of Prayer
Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement was a mystic, someone who had an intimate experience of God, and was empowered to heal her body of tuberculosis when there was no cure. After wards she maintained a powerful practice of prayer, which helped millions of people heal their bodies as well. Myrtle had a sense of humbleness and sensitivity to the Divine Energy of Life working through her and throughout the universe. You can learn about her process of prayer and more Step up into an awareness Presence of God, the Divine Life Force wherever you go, just as Myrtle did. In her writings you can see the loving nature of her experience with God. Myrtle’s letters clearly express her warm, caring nature and how she openly shared herself with others.

You Know This - Words of a Skylark
Apples come from apple trees. Roses grow on roses bushes. If a gardener wants carrots, he plants carrots seeds and not radishes or onions. All through life it has been proven that there is a spiritual and a natural law of life that causes all things to produce after their kind. Although Jesus Christ taught it a couple of thousands years ago, man is only now, at first regretfully and then joyfully, discovering this Truth. He discovers that each thought he holds, and each word he speaks, is governed by this very same law. Words of love and kindness never produce hate and inconsideration. You are the boss of your life, if you really want to be.
