Rose Parade Floats and Saddleback Church

January 6, 2013: "Big Box" Church reflection

"We can have joy in our troubles, because we know that these troubles produce patience.  And patience produces character, and character produces hope." Romans 5:3-4

I visited Saddleback Church for the first time today.  My youngest daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting Pastor Rick after the service.  What an amazing experience.  I'm excited to participate in the six week 2013 kick off, "What on Earth am I here for?" Cheers to Saddleback's "facilitation of the emergence of self-organizing dynamic networks of love and action." Deepak Chopra

Notes from Jan. 6 Pastor Rick Warren @ Saddleback Church

Moses' 4 Life-Shaping Choices: Hebrews 11:23-27

1. Refuse to be defined by others
2. Short term pain for long term gain
3. Follow what God values, not what the world values
4. Live in Faith not Fear

Day 1: SisterGiant

Thank you Marianne Williamson for your vision.  Thank you 1000(+online) for your presence.  Thank you Jean Houston for you making our human myth real:

"you all have new duties on this earth you women, the men are not doing very well. together you will grow a new nest and a nest of nest - the grandmother spirits will help you - you must work and pray and you must remember what the men have forgotten, how to have a society without palm wine, you women stop cutting the rose buds and you white women stop cutting off your souls, you take your souls back..."

"forget everything I've told you over the last 6 years about working with bureaucracies, I'm an anthropologist with no hierarchies - govts will not be prepared for the fast changing world - laughter, fun, humor, good food, body-mind-spirit -with this, they will choose projects to improve their world - must develop individual human to have developed human world..."
