Greetings! 
         In the Key to the Kingdom class we commit to giving 10% of our time to our own spiritual development.  Recently I began receiving a weekly email fro Hay House, Wayne Dyer's publishers, called Wayne's Weekly Wisdom. Wayne has always been an influential spiritual teacher in my life and I have found these weekly emails been a great addition to my spiritual evolution.  This weeks focus was four simple rules for living a fruitful life and connecting to our Source.

         The first rule is a reverence for all of life. This rule teaches us to make a conscious effort to love and respect all of creation including ourselves. This means working at removing all our judgments, projections, and criticism. Embracing this I notice my judgments, which seem to come almost automatically with out my conscious effort, and release them. Acknowledge and release. I may not be able to stop the judgments, yet, but I can make a different choice. 

         The second rule is natural sincerity. This means being authentic, honest, and faithful; to be true to your self. Dr, Dyer writes "it is living a life that reflects choices that come from respect and affection for our own true nature. The third rule is gentleness. Our right wrong mentality drives us toward being aggressive and defensive. Gentleness guided by empathy, compassion, kindness, and consideration guides us into a new choice of understanding and cooperation. We release the need to control and dominate and rather seek to live in right relationship and peace.

         The final rule is one of supportiveness. This leads to manifest a life of service without the expectation of rewards. We extend ourselves into the world in a spirit of love, This brings me to our current series. I love the way the synchronicity of the universe. As we discover our spiritual gifts and how we are guided to express them we enter the world from a consciousness of love and service. Dr, Dyer writes "we find comfort and the ct of giving and serving. 

       Sunday Rev Ray will deliver the talk on the topic Identifying Your Spiritual Gifts Phil Crowther and Lisa Wilbanks will provide the special music and Robin nelson will lead the meditation. See You Sunday. Don't forget the ministry gifts fair following ther 11 AM service.
