Light within, thou light divine,

Thou shalt never cease to shine;

Thou canst not depart from me;

We are one, for I am thee.

Darkness flies and mistakes depart,

Truth is reigning in my heart;

Endless day dispersed the night

When I found I was the Light.

 

From The Pathway of Roses  
by Christian D. Larsen

 

 

Valentine's Day is a great reminder that we need to love and honor ourselves regardless of our shortcomings and past mistakes. The power of self love must not be overlooked as we all can love ourselves into realizing the wholeness we are at the center of our being.

 

No one knows this better than your minister. A minister is but one person who seeks to serve many. My mistakes are oh so visible and my awareness of them is oh so great. Be patient with yourself and be patient with me, for a minister's path is to grow in public. It's not possible to get everything right. Trying to be being perfect is not only impossible; it's no fun!

             Rev. Marilyn Miller

SAVE WATER - PRAY FOR RAIN

New Community Service Project **

 

 

 

The Ojai Valley uses 125 million of gallons of water DAILY. We can all conserve water while praying for rain.

 

PRIORITY TIPS: USE LESS WATER

 

Pay attention when the faucet or shower is running.

When we get conscious about how we use water, we can easily do with less.

  1. Flush the toilet less often (this takes the most water in any household)
  2. Wash only full loads of dishes & clothes
  3. Sweep, don't hose off the driveway or patio.

We have no outside water source as many other Southern California communities do. Underground wells and Lake Casitas is all we have. All are dangerously low and many wells are dry. We all must work to conserve water.

 

PRAYER FOR RAIN

There is an Infinite Presence, a GREAT Universal Intelligence,

It is within me, within all people and within all of nature.

 

I speak my work knowing that the rain we need is the rain we receive now, a gentle steady rain that nurtures the earth, its people and crops.

 

I given thanks for the rain and for the great diligence all residents of the Ojai Valley take to conserve water. I give thanks for our needs being met with attention to wise conservation.

 

I release these words unto the universal flow knowing the Divine Plan of FREDOOM is always in operation. And so it is!
