70 X 7

The Meaning of 70x7

The name 70x7 is synonymous with God's eternal forgiveness. Matthew 18:21-22 in the new King James version of the Bible reads: Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

How do you use this as a spiritual practice? Does the action of practice help us get closer to feeling loving and forgiving?

For me it's an ongoing journey. If you think you do not have any un-forgiveness, stop and re-think that. This is something that makes me stop and think "ouch", I still have some unloving thoughts at times about others.

David and I both wear these bracelets. They are a practice tool for us to remember to use this principle to honor those places in us that struggle. Un-forgiveness hurts my heart. So when I have a judgment come up for me or anyone else. I forgive. I take off my beads and send blessings and love to them or myself.....counting off one bead at a time....70 beads, 70 times for 7 days....

What a powerful way to remember that there is no judgment in God, from God, in God and because of my humanness and desire to be here, I must practice to remember that it only hurts me.

One life and that life is god and in that there is nothing but love....70 x 7..and so it is.

CHAPTER THREE by Greg Baer

CHAPTER THREE THE THIRD PRINCIPLE OF PARENTING When I’m Angry, I’m Wrong Because of their age and inexperience, children are naturally inconvenient in so many ways: • They’re always spilling stuff, falling down, making messes, and getting involved in all manner of “accidents.” • When they get ready for school, clean their rooms, prepare for bed time, or do anything else involving a time limit, they move at a slow and erratic pace rarely compatible with our own schedules. • They’re often unable to perform even the simplest tasks without help or supervision. • They incessantly make unnecessary noises in a wide range of both volume and pitch. • Frequently they are unable to clearly communicate their needs. • When they do express their needs, they are often insistent and demanding. They have no patience. • Everything they do seems to cost money. When we don’t feel sufficiently loved ourselves, these innumerable inconveniences often become more tha

Spritual Oneness

I am truly one in God with my partner. There is no separation between us in the good, bad, or the ugly. There is so much beauty in the conflict we share. Sometimes it's cutting, sometimes is slight, and sometimes is just down right stupid. But the beauty of this dance is while I sit in the midst of chaos of misunderstandings and behaviors driven by perceived pain, I find peace. I hear a higher calling for my goodness. I hear the whisper of God every day, telling me that this is releasing me from the pain of my past and is calling me to a higher faith. I recall 18 years ago Reverend Michelle did a sermon and spoke to my heart and changed my life. She spoke of duality that is created by the pain in our minds. She said there is no such thing as good or bad happenings in our lives, but everything has singleness of purpose, everything is for our higher good, God is in everything. She said, "It's not a freight train coming to run you over. It's light at

I made a promise this year to make this Blog personal!

This is my first entry really telling the truth about myself and sharing on a different level than before. As I practice real love or just any spiritual practice I get Aha's that I would like to share and haven't really done that at a personal level as it pertains to me. I went about two weeks ago to the doctor and found out I have shingles. It's the chicken pox virus that stays in our body dormant through out our lives. If it comes out later again, it shows up and transforms itself in a different way. It is shingles. I got it on my face. I got it around my eye. Left side. The outside appearance of rash and itchy stuff is the first symptom. The other symptons are non-visible. The disease is nerv driven and causes a lot of pain. Since it is near my eye, the doc told me it is "ocular" shinlges and I could loose my eye. He told me the pain is severe and some people have committed suicide because it messes with the brain and causes depression. So
