PRACTICE 28



Fluvia Lacerda's face was done by Tara Taylor is an industry's way of not saying they could only add to what was perfect as much as temporal life allows perfect moments and precious things to co-exist as breathtaking and revealing at the same time in one face. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.21.13  



Do You Need To Hear From God?
Rev. Dr. Sinclair Grey III

In this life, I've discovered when you're preoccupied with too much stuff; you'll miss what's in front of you. Let me say it this way. If you're asking God for something, make sure you're not too busy overlooking the simple while focusing on the complicated. It's important for you to know God hears as well as answers prayers. The problem occurs when people don't hear Him because they allow people and things to interfere with what He has to say. Unless you have a relationship with God, you won't be able to discern whether it's God or your flesh talking. Many of the answers you're seeking are right in front of you. All you need to do is activate what's at your disposal to get them.

In this spiritual journey, I want to share with you how you're able to hear from God in your time of asking. The first thing you need to do is make sure you're doing what you need to do in fostering a positive and productive relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You do this by studying God's Word daily, attending Bible study, going to church, and meditating on His Word. I can add more, but start with these. The second thing you need to do is make sure whatever you're asking God is in alliance to His will. In a real sense, don't ask out of selfish want, but out of concern for God's will to be done. Whenever you take your eyes off you and put them on God, you'll hear from God.

The Bible says when Hannah was praying for a son to be dedicated to God, she went to the temple and poured herself out spiritually, physically, and emotionally. The good news is that God heard her prayer and spoke through the prophet Eli by saying, "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him." Please don't miss this last point. When God provides you with your answer, it's not your time to analyze, criticize, or ponder. That's my word for you. God has what you stand in need of, all you need to do is listen. 12.20.13

AS Luck Would Have IT.


"Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've
never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people
who do. Luck to me is something else: hard
work -- and realizing what is opportunity and
what isn't." -Lucille Ball, actress, comedienne

WARRIOR TEACHINGS


The Four Agreements

1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don’t take anything personally.
3. Don’t make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.  

― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

“If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn't walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don't need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”

A Moment in the SUN


Jennifer Nguyen in the sun
July 20, 2010

Purity is longed for, and joy is run away by the lives many are forced to live. But, purity is the first form of expression when born, and joy is the by-product of childhood, and innocence. How we keep what is pure within us, and brings joy to the moments is our fading innocence talking to what is crude around us, saying, "There is no vitality in coarseness. Be Free!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.13.13

How The Yellow Corn-Ear Maiden Became A Bull-Snake.




Two maidens, friends, fall in love with young man, which leads to quarrels between them. Yellow Corn-Ear maiden has supernatural powers. They go to spring, and on return she suggests, after resting, they shall play. Friend is to go down hill and Yellow Corn-Ear is to throw little colored wheel she has at her and friend is to throw it back again. Yellow Corn-Ear throws wheel, and when friend catches it, it is so heavy it throws her down. When she rises she has turned to coyote. Yellow Corn-Ear laughs at her and returns to village.


Coyote maiden tries to carry jug and cannot. She waits, crying, until evening, and then tries to enter village, but dogs drive her away. She goes westward, and being hungry, goes to temporary shelter of people in field and eats two roasted corn-ears she finds. She again tries to enter village, but is driven away She then goes westward again and arrives at hut of two Qö'qöqlöm Katcinas, They are away hunting, and she remains there all day. In evening they return, and one prepares to kill coyote, when other suggests they shall capture him alive and take him home to grandmother, Spider Woman.


On entering hut they hear coyote sob, and see tears trickling down his eyes. They feed him, and loading meat, skins, and coyote on their backs, they return to their home. Spider Woman is pleased with present, but looking closely at it she says it is no coyote, and inquires where they found it. She sends one for some tomóala and other for juniper branches. When former returns she pours water into vessel and puts hook from tomóala pods into neck and another into back of coyote, which she places into water, covered with cloth. She twists and turns by hooks and then pulls off skin of coyote. She finds maiden in vessel, with clothes on and hair in curls. When juniper comes, she bathes maiden and then gives her corn to grind. Spider Woman tells maiden her mother is homesick after her. She then calls for Katcinas, and tells them maiden's story.


Maiden is dressed up, and after Spider Woman has instructed her as to prayer-offerings for Katcinas and how to get even with Yellow Corn-Ear, she goes to village with Katcinas. Katcinas dance and sing. Parents hear they have brought daughter, but at first refuse to believe news. They go for her, but mána remains with Katcinas until father brings offerings. Maiden returns home, and next day she goes to grind corn and sings about her adventures. Yellow Corn-Ear maiden hears and visits her. She is treated cordially, and they grind corn together as formerly. In evening they go to spring for water. Yellow Corn-Ear maiden notices that friend uses peculiar little vessel (given her by Spider Woman), and that water running into jug shows different colors of rainbow. Friend drinks and says water tastes good. She hands jug to Yellow Corn-Ear maiden, who drinks and turns into bull-snake. Friend tells her to remain so, takes jug, and returns to village, Bull-snake maiden later on goes to village and is killed by her parents, who do not know her. Her soul goes to Skeleton House, and ever since sorcerers occasionally leave their graves in form of bull-snakes.
