Easter Service and a new logo for UNITY of Pensacola
Easter Sunday was one remarkable service for UNITY of Pensacola. We not only had wonderful music and a choir that came out dancing down the isle, but we had 212 people in attendance that morning. Thank you God!!!
To add to all that joy, my Mom showed up from Fort Walton with a group of her friends adding to my Easter celebration even more. So many people got to meet her and get a better idea of where I get some of my personality from. She is a legend not only to me, but because I tell stories on her all the time, she has become a legend to many others as well.... People are still talking about how great that morning was.
Since coming to UNITY of Pensacola, I had always wanted to create a logo that would really be a sharp and distinctive, more modern look for us. With Dan Everman, Rodney Walker and myself, we came up with a logo that is more than I ever imagined. I love it and can't wait for the T-shirt, license plates and coffee mugs to prove it!
Both images will be used for various printing and visual needs:
I always love being back at Unity Village, in Kansas City. Few places ever feel like home to me like my own home, but there is something about the peace and love of this magical place that always makes me feel so alive while here. On this trip I was in store for many tornados and hail storms like I have never experienced. Was I scared? Well yeaahhhhhh! Hail the size of softballs busted out car windows, damaged homes, and made my rent-a-car look like someone had poked it many times over with a broom handle or something. When the second round of hail storms hit, people began running for cover in the Bob Evans restaurant thinking the windows might just blow out. Little later, I'm out in the storm taking pictures of the lightning that was lighting up the night sky. (dumb, I know!) Next morning I took a picture of the famed Unity Tower and while taking it, I was so focused on the tower itself, I never even noticed the clouds behind it. What an amazing picture. The power of nature is an awesome thing to behold! The power and wonder of God is ever present even in the winds of a raging storm.
Walkin' with Jesus, an Angel, and some dead people!
Came up with the idea of having a walking club at the church so that people can have a time of exercise, conversation, and an activity we could do outside the church building. Not that many have participated yet, but I have to admit it has been cold on some of those days, and even colder on others... But there are a few that are willing to walk with me no matter the temp. We are using the Bayview Memorial Cemetery as our walking track, and I have to tell you some have questioned my reasoning for choosing a cemetery as the place to excercise. "Why in the world would you wanna walk in a cemetery?" Why? Because I love the peacefulness. No traffic, no noise! Birds singing, sound of the wind blowing through the trees, and I call that serenity while you walk. I took my camera with me yesterday as I walked around before the others arrived and took some pretty remarkable pictures, or at least I think they are...The angel statue is really something to see in person,(I angels)and the marble statue of Jesus and Mary are great to stand beside and just be still for a few moments... I find great peace there. I find I am enjoying being with the few that are walking each week. We talk about life, we talk about our spirituality, and we laugh...God is there! Love is there! And you know what? I bet the spirits who might be hangin' around enjoy our happy company too! For... "Wherever I AM... God is and all is well." Put your walkin' shoes on and come walk with Jesus, an angel, some dead people, Unity folks and a minister! You will have a blast!
Tonight we had a great dinner and movie night at UNITY. "The Fighting Temptations" was really something. I'm gonna have to buy the DVD for myself. The music for this movie made me wanna get up and dance, but I was ready to have church when the credits rolled. Movie night is always fun to me... People come together for a time of sharing food and then watching a movie that makes you laugh, cry and most importantly... THINK and FEEL. If you haven't seen this one and you like Gospel music and comedy...You have to allow yourself a good time and rent it tonight.
What does one do to become The Living Christ in expression? How does one become a present day Master, or even the Buddha? It's all about Peace and Love!
I can talk all day about what I know is truth. How I "should" act and speak, but it is just that... TALK!
Becoming...Being....means less talk and more walk! Walk the truth, don't just talk about it. Live the truth in everything we do and say.
