VISION: A Center For Spiritual Living

Rev Patti "Holy Days"

We reject any superstition or fear that seeks to rob us of our power. Spirit is the only power, and we are one with that. The astrological day, the medium and the cards have no more power than the power we choose to give them.
What works for one, may not work for another. We are free to find the unique path of Spirit that is ours to express.

Rev Patti "Seeing Sunday"

We can undermine ourselves with old thoughts and old patterns, when the past colors the present and diffuses our goals.
We must question the doubts within, find out where they came from, and then we can ignore them! Blow right past them towards the future we desire.

Jan Garrett and JD Martin "Better Angels"

We seek true belonging, not just fitting in. We can be vulnerable and uncomfortable, without attacking or being mean, and without sacrificing who we are.
We approach the world with a strong back, a soft front, and a wild heart.

Rev Patti "Alive, Awake, and Aware"

Before we are out of bed in the morning, the narrative may already be running. And a simple thought can make us worried, or anxious, or upset, and nothing has even happened.
We don't get anything from outside experiences, we bring who we are to them. Our joy, our love, our fear, our sense of lack. And that shows us where out inner work lies.

Rev Patti "Minding Our Business"

If we aren't minding our business, who is? Are we afraid to confront the hidden parts of us? If we heal them, will we recognize ourselves? Will we be recognized?
We must come to know that we are one with the power of the universe. That those hidden aspects are available to heal, and to stop holding us back from a life of fulfillment.

Rev Patti "All God's Creations"

We identify and sort our world based on differences. But when fear does the sorting, we reduce our circle of availability, and our world gets smaller.
We must meet people where they are, and listen, get to know and understand them, and their path. Get past the story, and connect at the heart.

Rev Patti "Family Lines"

We develop alone lines of decisions. In our youth, these decisions are often made for us. As we expand our understanding of the world, we begin to make choices, for better or worse.
When we are committed to the journey of self-actualization, our choices allow us to create our destiny.

Peter Bolland "Jesus in Action"

Spirit isn't about rules, It is about love. Not what you can quote, but you do.
Radical, barrier-shattering love action is what changes the world.

Rev Patti “Celebrating Our Heritage”

Science is proving the Spiritual truth, that we are One human family, the superficial differences in appearance have no bearing on the truth of our interconnectedness.
Love is the great impulsion, Law is the propulsion. We must release any thought of "other", of withholding the blessing foe ourselves, and embrace the good for all. Only then can the power flow freely through our lives.

Rev Patti "And Order"

If you're going through hell, keep going! We cannot emerge transformed if we stay stuck in the middle of the story. We must claim our power, align with spiritual principles, and move forward.
We have within us a voice that cheers us on, and a voice that limits us. We can challenge the inner critic, and demand it justify its stance. It will always be based on past fears.
