I busted out laughing when I watched this video clip...
What's keeping you stuck in your life?
Too often we get so dependent on material support systems that we don't think we can live without them. When they fail, we feel stranded, stuck and unable to move.
In truth, we're never stuck. We have all the help we need coming from God, and we don't need to yell for it to have it. A willingness to leave the old habit and take a few brave steps forward prove we're not stuck at all.
Enjoy...

How a dad works with his blind son
Sometimes life dishes out extraordinary challenges for individuals to deal with that defy logic and threaten to hobble hope and one’s future. And every so often a spectacular story emerges of how a person in the midst of trial deals courageously and unselfishly with those challenges, and turns them into awe-inspiring positive experiences. The story of Patrick Henry Hughes and his dad is one of those stories.
Here’s the link to a short video clip that could very well humble any belief inside you that says, “I have it tough.” And also well up within gratitude for what you do have.

Caring for others
The world is made a much happier place by those who take time to care for others. They take time to care, not because they have to, because they're paid to, or feel obligated to, but because they want to. They genuinely care about the welfare and well being of their neighbor, and want to make a positive difference. And they are willing to sacrifice time and personal pursuits in order to bless their neighbors.

True mother-love
For all you animal lovers, here's a clip that will touch your heart and cheer your spirit.
It certainly illustrates the universal nature of a true mother-love. It's a relationship lesson we all might learn from to bless our acceptance of those who differ from us on the outside but share the same spiritual common worth on the inside.

Judge not according to appearance
You may have seen this youtube video because many people have, but I just love it because it's proof that you should never judge a package by its cover.

What image do you portray?
Have you ever noticed that some people suffering hardship attract all kinds of support, love and attention, and others don’t? Could it be the attitude of the sufferer that makes the difference?
A reader forwarded the below link to a video that is profoundly thought-provoking on the subject of self-pity, charity and seeing the good even when that good is not so obvious.
It’s about 5 minutes long, and you have to watch the whole clip to get the message.

Val Kilmer: Mary Baker Eddy and Mark Twain
For any of you Christian Science history buffs, here’s a short film (11 minutes) Val Kilmer produced on some of Mark Twain’s opinion of Mary Baker Eddy.
It’s a new slant that hasn’t received much attention in the past.

Christian Science or Scientology?
A comedian took to the streets to ask bystanders what split-second choice they would make when presented with two options.
In part of his routine, he asked, “Christian Science or Scientology?”
A short video clip from Mo Rocca 180 captured the responses. It’s a bit of fun to watch…

Making sense out of a mess
Have you ever felt like your life was a mess? Like the pieces were not fitting together, and you had little or no evidence of completeness to show for your efforts? What’s the point of continuing? You might begin to wonder.
As I watched a paintjam video on youtube that a friend forwarded, I thought about how different experiences we have in life look messy and unorganized at the time we’re in them. But, in time, we see a reason for their happening. That a larger picture was being worked out that eventually became apparent. And then it all made sense.
Take a look yourself. You have to watch the whole video, 5:40 minutes long, to reap the reward.
Turn up the volume. It’s a fun watch!

Virginia Tech shooting
A horrendous tragedy occurred at Virginia Tech yesterday, where an armed man killed 32 people in classrooms and wounded 15 others. My heart sunk with grief when I read the news.
“Something has to change in the mentality of this country,” I protested to myself.
For years, I’ve been convinced that the violent video games children play and murderous movies they watch have produced insensitivity to killing and violence in their thinking. Their moral sense gets dulled and pushed into dormancy while they develop an attitude of “The killing doesn’t matter. It’s all pretend, not real.”
But the mindless mindset developed when playing these games is real in the sense that it affects a person’s attitude about life and how they conduct themselves toward others. It’s an uncaring, thoughtless, callous, indifferent and self-entwined attitude that leads to mindless destruction and self-destruction. It’s not healthy.
It’s been a challenge to help our 13 year old son understand this point, who loves to play video games. “That’s all they make and sell,” he protests. And he’s almost right. It’s very difficult to find engaging video games that don’t have some element of destruction in them. So it has been an on-going effort to educate his moral sensibilities to the importance of keeping his thinking free of the subtle destructive influence these video games perpetuate. I’ve wanted him to understand on his own why they’re harmful, not just because I said so.
So, this morning I asked him if he’d heard about the killings.
He said, “Yes.”
And then I had a little chat with him about keeping our thinking free of violent influences so events like this don’t occur.
He listened attentively.
I was impressed!
I pointed out that in the article the killer was observed as being unemotional about his murders. There was no expression on his face. He was like a mindless zombie on a heartless mission, the newspaper reported. Then he shot himself.
I told my son that large doses of violent games have a similar effect on their players. Gamers start shooting and killing so much they become uncaring about what they’re doing. They don’t think anything of it. It becomes normal to them. And then I explained this is why mom and I don’t like violent video games.
He listened without resistance, for which I was very grateful! And he even agreed with what I said. Hooray!
I think our years of talking on this subject have paid off.
It’s been a challenge because most of his male friends play these games everyday, and when he goes to their homes, the video games are often front and center of activities they choose to play.
Something does need to change in the mentality of our country, and perhaps much of the world. Mindless killing, pretend or not, is not natural or normal and should never be seen as such. It’s evil. It’s very evil, and should be treated for what it is.
I’m praying for all people touched by the tragedy yesterday to find peace of mind, assurance of life eternal and a release from grief. Large doses of Love alone will quench the fear, anger and remorse such events trigger.
But I also ask, “What can I do to help turn the tide of violent thinking so events like this don’t happen again?”
I began with talking to my son about it this morning. It’s a start!
You may have practical tangible steps you can take too.

Delightful video
Looking for some magical entertainment?
Click on this Jerome Murat video clip for some fun surprises. It’s a delightful 8 minute run.
I love this video because it illustrates how you cannot believe what you behold with your eyes. Mortal mind has certain expectations about what it sees, and draws conclusions accordingly.
But what happens in the course of life when what you see is not the truth? Like when someone tells you a lie but in the guise of a truth? You get surprised, and in unpleasant ways.
With this video, you are surprised in a positive way, but when it comes to everyday activity, it's better not to believe without question everything you see and hear. Go to the spiritual truth first and reason out from what God knows, and then decide what's right and what's not. The negative suprises are much fewer then.
Enjoy!

What does it take to get a hug?
In this frequently harsh world where people’s generous motives are often suspect and desires to help shunned, you may find this video, “Free hugs campaign” on YouTube bring out a chuckle or tear to your eye as it did for me.
