Misplaced things, cellphone and laptop challenges
Are, to me, God’s wry humor.

God’s Plan
I plan, but God has other ideas,
I start to behave, to trust Him
Reinventing My Concept of God
“Reinventing one’s consciousness to a new concept of God… takes more than a little effort.”
“Happily New Thought has come around to look at the nature of God more in terms of love and law, rather than in terms of a super being, somewhere out there who is judgmental, vengeful and jealous, and who insists on one unyielding way to salvation.”
George Sison words are in sharp contrast to what I was taught. He continues: “From school, we remember a white-bearded, aged figure with a thunderous voice expressing anger any moment one commits a sin or violates any of his commandments.”
Throughout my schooling and even through the 90s (!!!!) my life was ruled by the exacting cosmology of the nuns who taught me. Several retreat masters ,mostly Jesuits, were just as fear trigger happy.
It took a young psychiatrist who eventually married my first cousin to open my mind. So ironical that eventually in the 2000s he left our church. I would like to believe he belongs to a more compassionate church now.

Reinventing the Concept of Prayer
According to George Sison: “Why are there so many things you don’t like in your life right now? They are there because you did not state your preferences previously. The Bible clearly states : ‘Ask and you shall receive’, Which can be rephrased as :’I want your preferences. Your list, please’.
But in our family of three, I realize that my preferences are different from those of my husband and those of our daughter. My preferences are similar to my husband’s but not with our daughter’s.
Perhaps this explains why lately we have been agonizing about a specific issue. Our daughter and I have become emotional over our differences but I thank God we are still communicating.
Then I have been inspired to go the Ho’oponopono way. When I pray I surrender my preferences to Divinity who knows, who sees the bigger picture. I trust the comprehensive Ho’oponopono prayer will take our differences and oen our hearts to accept the greater good.
