Nice talk about traveling light and thinking about what we carry mentally in our spiritual backpack.

We’re going to the Northern California Church Alive Summit this weekend!
We’re happy to be going to the Northern California Church Alive Summit this weekend in Sacramento, CA. We’re looking forward to sharing our ideas about our camp with the ~650 Christian Scientists expected to be in attendance. We’re going to be sharing the postcard featured below at the Summit. Like it?
Also… BONUS hackathon announcement below! Want to join us in Berkeley on May 24-26?
Holy Ghost Experience
I was first introduced to Darren Wilson on the way to Burning Man. Nate and I were staying at my friend Jackie’s totally huge, but empty, house outside of Palo Alto with his wife and mom who only speaks Chinese.
Giant rooms with wood floors – totally empty. I remember these details because it’s on these floors that I watched the trailer for Darren’s third movie, “Father of Lights.” It changed my life.
“People are traveling around the world healing people the way Jesus did? And someone is filming it?”
I know why God showed me it then. My experience at Burning Man would be pretty similar to the content in Darren’s films.
So, as we gear up for Round 2, I brought the most recent installment in the Christian healing trilogy, Holy Ghost, to the attention of the Burning Man group.
We know that by supporting this project, we’re supporting our own. I encourage you, dear reader, to support both. This is what Christianity is all about!
some thoughts on service
a few weeks back I did readings on s e r v i c e for a Wednesday evening and wanted to share a few bits that felt also relevant to our work.
“I thank God whom I serve with a pure conscience without ceasing day and night. Who hath called us with an holy calling… not according to our works, but according to His purpose.” (2 Tim 3 and 9)
“let my people go that they may serve me” (ex 7:16)
“Mine angel shall go before thee… Ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water.” ex 23:23
When first spoken in any, Truth, like the light, ‘shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.’ A false sense of life, substance, and mind ides the divine possibilities…”
“I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor” ecclesiastes 2
…man is but the humble servant of the restful mind… (119)
If the Scientist has enough Christly affection… the result will correspond with the spiritual intent.” (365)
“God pours the riches of his love into the understanding and affections, giving us strength according to the the day.”
“Christian Science unfolds the hallowed influences of unselfishness, philanthropy, spiritual love…” (462)
love.
