Listen

Thursday, August 04, 2011

I listen from my heart.

I rely on my ears to hear, but my heart to listen. When someone speaks to me, I not only hear the words, but with focused attention, I truly listen to what they are saying and the feelings they are expressing. I am an active and attentive listener, asking for clarification to help me understand. I listen this way because I know what it means to be heard.
I also listen with my heart to the messages of the Christ Spirit within. I still my thoughts and wait in the temple of sacred silence for the still small voice. My guidance and help may come through words, feelings or as an unmistakable knowing. If I need confirmation or clarification, I ask and listen, knowing I will receive.

All the people would get up early in the morning to listen to him in the temple.--Luke 21:38

Unity

Wednesday, August 03, 2011 I am one in Spirit with all people. Nearly 7 billion people live on this planet we call home. Vast distances of land and ocean separate us from one another. Our differences create a beautiful mosaic of appearances, beliefs, cultures and customs. Underneath, we are one in Spirit, members of the family of humankind. We each have the spark of the Divine within that comprises our spirit and source of inspiration. We have mental and emotional qualities--thoughts, feelings and memories--that comprise our soul. And we are physical beings with bodies to care for and nourish. Today let us celebrate our unity--our sisterhood and brotherhood--by affirming: I am one in Spirit with all people. How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! --Psalm 133:1

Boom Technology For Church

Our Unique Telescopic Equipment

The Boom is a technology developed by John Tiedemann. In 1953 the idea was forced upon him when the cost of scaffolding was too high for most churches to afford. He designed an out-rigger system that many thought would fail. With his determination, he found a company that would construct his plans. A boom was built on top of a 1947 "Willie's" Jeep that also anchors the out-riggers.

History Of Johntiedemann

John Tiedemann was born in New York City in 1906. His father passed away when he was three years old, so he and his family moved from NYC to Jersey City, NJ. He dropped out of school in 6th grade and went to work at a foundry to help support his widowed mother. Even though he was working at a foundry, at the young age of 12 he had bigger things in mind. By the age of 13, he self-educated himself in the field of electricity by reading everything he could. At 13 years old he owned his own electrical contracting business with five employees. They were converting gas lit houses into electrically lit houses. John married Julia Melvin in 1921 at the age of 15; they went on to have 13 children, 11 boys and 2 girls. Read More....
