Minister: Rev.Sarah Scott Putnam Administrator: James Mitchell Youth Minister: Naomi Garcia Music Minister: Brad Henty If you've been trying real hard to fast from negative thinking, and feast on positive thinking, here is a last minute booster (before Easter) to help you in finishing out the last few days of Lent. Don't power through whatever it is you're fasting from. Sometimes powering through a problem or situation is necessary. But when it comes to fasting, powering through effects are short term. If you're trying to give up smoking for instance, powering through urges to smoke is fine, but short lived. The urges come back even stronger sometimes. That's because we resist the urge. Another approach would be to ALLOW the urge to be, to let it be and let it's energy dissipate. When we resist something and just power through it, we repress the energy. Letting the urge "be", allows it to be observed, to be learned from, and to ultimately pass. The urge loses its power over us. This is a very Taoist approach to life that I just love. It denies nothing, yet it doesn't just "wallow" in the urge. It goes with the flow.     Rev. Ed
