Hanging With God

If you live in California and have been out and about, you've probably seen the billboards or heard the radio commercials for the California Lottery Commission, with the announcement of Wednesday night's jackpot being more than $317 million.  Their by-line is "believe in something bigger."

I'm not sure what this has to do with the lottery, but I love the message for us.  If you were with me last month, you remember we talked about faith.  Do we really believe that God (Spirit, the Universe, our Higher Power) can and will do for us what we affirm in our prayer work?

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science of Mind, said that there is a power greater than we are, and we can use it.  (And I would add that we do use it, whether we are conscious of it or not.)

But for many of us, faith is a process, not an event.  How do we get to that absolute, no question about it, knowing?  One way might be by getting to know God--not just about God.  There is a difference.

Do we ever just hang out with God and listen?
