The title of my talk this morning is, Going to the Edge of the Light. You know, we say that we move in the light all the time, because we are the light actually. So we cannot NOT move in the light. But what I'm talking about is going to the edge of what we think is possible for us. We go to the edge, a lot of times, we come to a dead halt. Because what is beyond the edge of that lightŠ is scary. It's the unknown. It's the unfamiliar. We haven't been there before; maybe we know someone who has, and they succeeded at it. But gosh, is it possible for me?

Remember in Indiana Jones, he was in the cave, and there he saw the Holy Grail. That was his quest, to find the Holy Grail. But there was this huge abyss between him and his treasure. And the voice of his father came out, and said "Take a step."

Well, it's black and dark and deep. But he takes a deep breath, and he puts his foot out, and the bridge comes out. And every step he takes, the bridge extends in front of him. To the point, it carries him across this huge crevice. He came to the edge of his light when he got to the edge of that crevice. He stepped out, in faith.

And that's what we are challenged to do... To step out into space, and become that which God already knows us to be.

Reverend Carole Anderson, Pastor
November 14, 2004.

There is one perfect presence- power- love- that fills the entire universe, that Is, in truth, the entire universe, and all creation within It. And as I remember this, I know that I too am of this presence, power, and love. It is my divine nature. And I let this knowing fill me, fill my consciousness, and express itself everywhere, always. As I recognize this truth, I see it in everyone else, and everyone else responds, because we are truly only one. I give thanks that today there is that perfect message, that perfect awareness for each and every one of us, be it music, a word, a handshake, something and I claim and know that I am open to this. I know that each person here is open to it, or they wouldn't be here. This is a perfect time, a perfect day, a perfect place. I rejoice in the good that is mine, that is ours forever when we accept it. I joyously and gratefully accept it, and together we say, And so it is.
