Minister Articles

Last week we talked about some of the mental and emotional roadblocks to decluttering our lives by saying “no” more often. As we discussed, it's not as easy to say no as it might seem. But as frequently as I encounter this dynamic in my readings, I thought I’d pass along some guidance often recommended to the over-committed by Spirit Guides.

First of all, Spirit recommends that we admit that we are indeed, over- committed. Without this thoughtful, crucial ack…

“Just say no.” Sounds easy and looks good on paper, right? It’s something that many of us know we need to do more often than not, yet somehow ends up being just a phrase that gets lost in the shuffle of our thoughts, our emotions, and our tight schedules.

Some of you might remember the first lady Nancy Reagan from the 1980’s. (I have to giggle when I say this, considering the average age of our ministerial group!) Mrs. Reagan launched a well-intentioned, but …

I shouldn’t have been there. I hadn’t slept well. I was hungry, and I was too indifferent to do anything about that rumbling beast. The day was brilliant, summertime so thick, the blazing tar on the street shimmered upwards, The heat haze, a pestilent mirage, shifted on seesaws, back and forth; and then, “poof” into the solid, cloudless beaming blue sky.

I’ve got a CB Radio. I receive c…

The 2024 National Conference team members are excited to be creating a beautiful inspirational celebration of the Alliance of Divine Love.

The theme for our conference is “Activate the Divinity Within”. It was chosen to remind us that the Love of God is within us and we get to activate the ALL that is in our hearts. We have accessed the writings of Rev Dr Barbara Selwa in the DaySpring article to remind us ministers of the 5 aspects of our ministry:

• Spiritual Communications
• Healing Ener…

I clear my mind of the noises around me, and I calm the anxiety that sometimes besets my thoughts.

I clear the worry that often attacks my emotions and I release the naked feelings of losing control.

I clear my heart of the fast and staccato rhythm produced by my fear and uncertainty.

I clear my voice of the harsh raspiness that comes from the difficulty of speaking my truth.

I clear my ears of outside influences that perpetuate sadness, despair or hopeles…

I bring my mind back, back from the pain of betrayal and heartache.
I bring my mind back from the hurt of a life without joy.

I bring my mind back, back from the insecurities and uncertainties of financial darkness.
I bring my mind back, back from the frustration of a body that won't cooperate with a mind.

I bring my mind back, back from the feeling of loneliness that leaves my heart bereft of love.
I bring my mind back, back from the loss of loved ones passed or sim…

As I open my mind and heart to Infinite Source Energy, I feel all things sacred, spiritual and pure flowing into my being. This soulful meditation clears the path for my very personal connection and Oneness to All-That-Is.

My joyful and exuberant spirit infuses my heart with liveliness, playfulness and childlike wonder.

I see and hear the magical creations of Mother Earth as she blossoms, buzzes and bursts with the fullness of life.

The devoted Creator floods me wi…

The season of Lent has been unfolding for many of us and we have been releasing what no longer serves us as we prepare for the very personal rebirth and transformation of Easter.

During the Lent of our childhoods, many of us were encouraged to give up something that we loved as a demonstration of self denial that would please God: chocolates, ice cream, red meats on Fridays. (The last example of releasing still makes wonderful excuses for "fish fries." Yum!)
