Fearless

I am one with God. I am courageous and bold.

Love is stronger than fear, and I am filled with the love of God. I trust this extraordinary love to see me through any troubling situation. I am fearless and strong because I am one with God.
If I feel doubt or apprehension, I take a deep breath and turn within to examine my thoughts. My strength and courage grow as I deny fear-based thoughts their power. Love increases as fear diminishes.
God is my Source of peace and courage. I remember this promise: "I will never leave you or forsake you." With faith, I move boldly forward, envisioning myself surrounded by divine love, knowing that nothing can penetrate that shield.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.--1 John 4:4

Strength

Friday, August 05, 2011

I have inner strength.

As I embark on any new endeavor, the excitement of a fresh start can be exhilarating. Sticking with it, however, requires that I develop the spiritual faculty of strength and use it daily.

Whether I am adopting a new healthy habit or leaving an unhealthy one behind, raising a child or starting a new job, I remain steadfast. Obstacles may arise and I may experience my motivation waning, but my inner strength carries me through regardless of any obstacles. I meditate and invite in new awareness. I listen for guidance from within, while affirming my strength and resilience.

The spirit of God within me is my source of spiritual strength. In God consciousness, I overcome any challenge and experience the joy of success.

The Lord is my strength.--Psalm 28:7

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

Refresh

Saturday, July 30, 2011 I am refreshed and renewed in mind, body and spirit. When I think of my health and the way I approach it, I ask myself if I am doing all I need to do to be healthy, whole and well. If I feel I can do more, I take this opportunity to refresh and perhaps adopt new healthy habits. I may begin by spending more time in prayer and meditation, visualizing my body as a holy temple filled with divine, renewing life. I may start an exercise regimen that helps me get in tune with my body. I may try new, more healthful ways to prepare my food. Of the many healthy practices available to me, I follow my inner guidance and find which ones are right for me. I am refreshed and renewed in mind, body and spirit. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?--1 Corinthians 6:19

Boom V/s Scaffolding

BOOM

Boom Technology 1. The cost of the total project is reduced significantly because there is no third party involved in scaffolding rental, erection, or dismantling process 2. Easily enters a church passing most double doors at a width of 40 inches wide. 3. The boom is compact and can easily be stored for weekends. 4. Can be set up and taken down and moved in less than 5 minutes or put in and taken out of a church the same day. 5. Overall weight is low compared to large amounts of scaffolding. 6. Can be operated by as few as two workmen thus cutting cost. 7. Has great versatility of motion and height and easy maneuverability. 8. The boom runs on a standard 15amp 110 outlet. There are no dangerous gasoline powered engines or fumes. 9. The boom is self-propelled and moves on rubber tires with an equal weight distribution outrigger system that is designed so no pews have to be removed. It will not damage expensive flooring or woodwork. 10. Using the boom makes the working church atmosphere more pleasant and professional with no visual obstructions.

Scaffolding 1. The cost of scaffolding alone from rental with erection and dismantling charges is usually more than the cost of painting the entire church with an aerial lift. 2. Large and bulky usually causing damage to the building upon entering and exiting. 3. Drastically reduces available seating space and many times cuts off key areas in churches because of its shape and size. 4. Large-scale scaffolding is usually rented for long periods of time. The erection and dismantling is a longer and more disruptive process. 5. The weight of large amounts of scaffolding is great and may be dangerous for older structures to support. 6. Erection and dismantling is an inconvenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive process. 7. Once the scaffolding is erected it is stagnant with no maneuverability. 8. The risk of injury is greatly increased with scaffolding due to possible falling debris and blocked exit pathways. 9. Scaffolding is bulky, heavy, and inconvenient. It generally runs a much greater risk of damaging pews and floors during the erection and dismantling process. 10. Scaffolding is disruptive and aesthetically unpleasant to the general public.

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....
