Prayer Chaplain Corner
Greetings from your Prayer Chaplain Team
I'd like to talk about what spirit means to me. As a Prayer Chaplain it's very important to have a detailed understanding of the word. I'll go by what I've learned and follow with what believe.
I've learned through Rev Patrick that Spirit is the very breath we breathe. Without it we would of course make our transition. But Spirit is far more than that. Spirit is a gift to us from the Divine. It is offered to us through the power, love and wisdom that only the Divine can give. Spirit carries us to awesome places that are far beyond our comprehension. We can see ourselves lifted up into the arms of the Divine through this awesome gift.
I believe that all of the above are true. As we move through our Spiritual Journey, we all have the awesome opportunity to connect. It's easy to do for most of us, but difficult for others. Either way, it's so worthwhile
Please join me by pledging to go that extra mile. See this gift flowing through you each and every day. It is so worth it.
Being a prayer Chaplain means everything to me. I'm honored to be part of it. It has changed my life in so many ways. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Namaste!!!!

WHEN I AM CONFUSED by Charles Roth
As we tread our individual paths through life we are sometimes diverted into side-roads where we feel lost and confused. We seek the advice of others, or we sit and “stew”, mentally sketching images of failure and defeat. “If only I knew,” we cry. “If only” is the hallmark of the confused, bewildered human mind.
In Truth we are training ourselves to step out of the “if only” consciousness, and into the security of the Christ Light. You may seem to be in a tunnel of darkness, unable to see your next step. But every tunnel has an end and if you look with your heart you shall “see” that Light which signifies hope and victory. It may be only a pin- point of light at first; but it will grow as you keep your vision centered on the Christ within you. Say the fol-lowing prayer statement to yourself until you get the “feel” of it and then speak it aloud—quietly, but with conviction and faith:
I Turn to the Christ Within For Inspiration and Guidance
. . . I am a spiritual being, one with the Mind of God in which resides all wisdom. Just as a lost and bewildered child turns to his parent for guidance when faced with a new and baffling experience; so I turn eagerly and trustingly to the Infinite One within. Through the Christ in me, the Father’s Image-like-
ness, I receive new confidence, new understanding and new strength. Inspiration floods my mind and I know what to do.

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.
