You may remember that in the New Testament book of Matthew, Jesus talks about the wise man building his house upon rock, vs the foolish building his house upon the sand.
Think about our physical being as a house. What sort of foundation does it rest on? When we are on rock, we can observe the comings and goings of the stock market, the economy in general, and other "conditions," but rest assured that we are safe. We can even go through stormy weather without being tossed about. On the other hand, if we judge by appearances, and tie our good to any source outside of ourselves (because we know Spirit is within us), it is like we are built on sand.

"The House of God is a figure of speech that turns out to be much more than that. On the spiritual level, there is a house and it is our shelter. "May you dwell in the House of the Lord forever" is more than a symbolic statement. It means, may your perception of what's real and what's not real be based only on God's eternal realities, every moment...Love is the only absolute reality, which never changes and never dies. Dwelling on that which does not change, while things around us are changing all the time, is our key to inner peace." -- from The Gift of Change by Marianne Williamson.
If you were with me on Sunday, you remember that we talked about the movie Monsters Inc.
You may remember the premise. In the city of Monstropolis, the local utility company was Monsters Inc. The company created energy by dispatching the staff monsters, including our heroes James P. Sullivan (AKA Sully) and Mike Wazowski, out to the closets of small children, and collecting their screams when they jumped out and scared them. The screams were then converted into power.
This got me to thinking: are our lives powered by fear, or powered by love?

As of Sunday, September 18, there were 104 days left in 2011.
104 days to do whatever we need to do so that on December 31, we can say that 2011 was the best year of our lives.
The "doing" may be physically doing something--organizing the garage, cleaning out a closet, losing weight, starting school, etc. It might also be releasing something--anger, hurt, something that needs to be forgiven.
Whatever we decide, Spirit supports us.
