Agua Deb, I am so sorry that I am just now getting around to wishing you a Happy Birthday. From your lovely avatar picture, it looks like it was a special one! I loved the picture of your Easter eggs and the story that went along with them! I tried doing what you suggested to Petra, Mike, about transferring the picture to my desk top background. It worked like a charm only it is small and in the middle of my desktop.? Wonder what I did wrong.
(I can just see all those wonderful people with comp. skills shaking their head in dismay at my computer ignorance. 
)I loved the message that Tris gave you and your sweetheart Debbie!
Tris said how much great joy he feels now that he's on the Other Side, liberated from the inherent limitations of being contained inside a body, and how he now realizes that he could have felt ten times more joy while still incarnated than he ever allowed himself to feel, and he wants to pass along that message to all of us who are still here: We can all feel ten times more joy that we do right now if we let ourselves. The entire tone of his message was very much, "Don't feel sad for me, I'm doing wonderfully over here!"
I echo the other's sentiments and say "Thank you for that!" Now I guess the question we each need to ask ourselves is how do we allow ourselves to feel ten times more joy? What do we need to do? What do we need to change? something to meditate on ....
Hello Tulia!
I saw that you were posting again and I am pleased as punch. I don't know you very well because I sort slipped off for a time, but I read many of your posts and they always helped me and inspired me during difficult times. I wish I had found the U Book when I was fifteen. But I probably would not have been ready for it then. My Dad is reading the Urantia Book now in an attempt to understand his "wayward daughter"
and I am hopeful that it will bring some peace to his mind in regards to me. You know, that even though, in his eyes, I have left the religion of my childhood he will see that I still love God with all my heart and am trying to do his will. I Fail miserably at times as my own will seems to run interference, but I guess all I can do is keep picking myself up and trying again. 
Gypsy! Memawlaura is back! I was thinking about her too all day yesterday! She returned with the most wonderful story of love and Angelic help! She wrote all about it in the Prayers forum. It is funny, because all day yesterday just like with you, she was on my mind. Another syncronicity between us?
Okay I hate to admit this but who is Hugh Jackmann?
Well, I just want to say, that I think you should all come for a road trip and visit with us here in beautiful Australia, right Gypsie? Well, something to keep in mind in the years to come....
Love you all,
Sandy
"Keep picking myself up and trying again," - it sounds like you are using the Thomas Edison model of looking at failing: "I didn’t fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated, ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn’t work." I need to remember that perspective often! 
), and this illustration of how the Midwayers make their tasks fun and have a sense of humor! In fact, as you've probably seen, there's been an amusing thread going on for a while on the question of whether or not the Midwayers steal our socks whenever we find them missing while doing laundry! 
I intend to continue this post, but need to break it down into multiple messages so they won't get too long! Stay tuned...
I am still going to order the DVD and watch it. I didn't get this far on my path by being closed minded 
. I have had my Construct CD for almost 2 weeks now and enjoy it more each time I listen to it. The power of one's mind never ceases to amaze me. Close to midnight here and it has been a long week. Had some really severe weather here this evening with high winds, hail and tornadoes everywhere. First time I have heard the sirens go off this season. Just that time of the year and means Summertime is just around the corner! 
So glad you made it through the storms safe and sound. Did the tornados touch down or cause much damage? We used to get a few storms like that this time of year in Northern Ohio too. I really dislike it when the storms arrive at night and I can't get a good look at the clouds. One evening in particular I can remember spending a good hour squeezed into a little closet with two big dogs and a cat. Luckily they all got along but talk about difficult! It was tough keeping all three busy and occupied all at the same time. 
I am sure this is due to old fundamentalist Christian upbringing programmed into my mind, but I actually forgave the writer and most importantly myself for even feeling that way and *POOF* I was OK with them calling him “J”. 
Was good practice for us to go through the drill to our shelter. Sandy it is funny that you ask about my earlier meditative years. Coming from a fundamentalist Christian family, I use to tell them it was a bible study group, so they wouldn’t make me go and talk to my church pastor or possibly even counseling.
