The way I do these exercises and posts is to start by typing the headline and then think about the associations it produces. I write about those and then read the full workbook exercise and start doing them and write appropriate comments.
So today’s thought for the day becomes a riddle:
“What is it that to give [...]
I have spent most of the last thirty eight hours in bed and one way or other recovering from some kind of dis-ease. My nose is running, I had (and to a certain extent still have) a sore throat and my breathing is not easy. I mentioned yesterday that being spiritual and practicing the teachings [...]
This begs the question what is a miracle? Yesterday in A Course in Miracles workbook I read something that I understood as implying that the miracles of science are against God’s laws.

Day sixty and the last day of the current set of reviews – today we concentrate on the love of God and forgiveness. Many mystics believe that God is love and love is God.
