Missing the mark is not a sin. If we feel defeated by our thinking, we are free to choose new thoughts. We just have to relax and know God's will for us always feels good. Funniest Thing! fan Jenn Henry drops in from Chicago to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Free." Click here to listen.
The 3 Breaths
"When God's in charge, life is large."
"When God's in charge, life is large."
There is a way, the "highway of the Lord." Will you take that way? It is a broad way, and there is room for everybody. Jesus called it the kingdom of the heavens and said that "all these things" should be added to those who sought it. This implies that you do not have fully to enter this kingdom in order to have the things added, but you do have to "seek." You must turn your attention in the right direction; then they begin to come to you...
Trust God in all things, and see the result made apparent by the mental currents that you set going all about you. You may not be able to point out just how each separate word of allegiance to the Father took effect, but as the months go by you will gradually observe the various changes that are taking place in your mind, body, and affairs. You will find that your ideas have broadened immensely to begin with. The little world has been transformed into a big world. You have begun to think about realities instead of appearances. Your mind is more alert, and you can discern when before you were in doubt. Your body is vital, and you are free from inharmony and weakness. You are not so fearful. The consciousness that there is a divine hand guiding the universe and you has given you a feeling of security. This has extended to your body and your affairs. There is an absence of prejudice and faultfinding in you. You do not judge so harshly. You are more generous, and others respond by being more generous too. Things are coming your way now where you once thought they were blocked.
This is not only true of your own particular life and affairs, but if you are observing you will notice its effect in a measure upon those with whom you come in contact. They are getting more substantially healthy and happy. –Charles Fillmore, Jesus Christ Heals, Pages 134 - 136

Every problem has a solution. There is no difficulty that can come to you or me for which there is not a solution and for which we shall not find a solution in time, if we persevere. Some problems last a long time, some a short time, but always there is a solution, and always the solution is to turn from the outer to the inner. –Emmet Fox, The Ten Commandments, Page 134
...The whole teaching of Jesus is that the outer is but the result of the inner. As you believe, so do you express.
If you want peace, harmony, love, abundance, and health in your life, and you must begin by changing the inner, and the way to do that is to believe that God is working through you. Quietly turn to Him, and claim that He is guiding, strengthening you, opening your way. Quietly believe it. That is the secret of life, and that secret will open any door, bridge any gap, remove any obstacle, retrieve any mistake, shut out any sin, and clear up any grief, because it is claiming and realizing His Presence, and in His Presence is fullness of joy. –Emmet Fox, The Ten Commandments, Page 145

The unknown ways of the Spirit can be known by me. I am in a Spiritual Explanation in which I can grow in understanding It in the ways in which It works. I do not have to take spiritual ideas on faith. I explore them until I have a clear knowledge of them. Then they are my possessions, my pearls of great price. The full life is a field of limitless opportunity. It requires no physical labor. You see yourself as you have never seen yourself before. You sense the spiritual power that is really yours, a power for you to use to live richly, happily and to give in new ways to other people. You have the sense that you are unconditioned and free. No problems control your thinking. You're thinking controls and dissipates all problems. Your knowingness is always on time. You know what you need to know at the time that you need to know it. All ideas are available to you and your mind is open and receptive to them. You rejoice in the limitless opportunity that is yours. Those who live a full life have no fear of the future. They know that tomorrow is today amplified. Tomorrow is the outpicturing up today in a new arrangement. If there is no fear in this day, there will be no fear in another day. –From The Power of Decision by Raymond Charles Barker

Free
I celebrate the free Spirit I am.
Sometimes I may forget to give thanks for one of my greatest gifts—freedom. I am free to believe what I wish and worship where I want. I am free to travel and free to express myself. Most important, I am free to choose my thoughts and responses.
In the Silence, I let go of fear, worry, and pain. I release any limiting opinions or views of myself and claim my divine potential. My heart expands with gratitude as I connect with the part of me that knows no limits—my Spirit self.
I affirm: I am free to choose my thoughts and responses and align my dreams with the highest good. I rejoice in the presence of unbounded Spirit in me and claim my infinite potential.
So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.—John 8:36

Consciousness
I center my thoughts on what I want most in my life.
Thoughts held in mind have a powerful magnetic effect called the Law of Attraction. In simple terms, this means what I think about, I bring about. Knowing this, I set my intentions on the love, peace, harmony, and abundance I want most in my life. By keeping my heart focused on good for everyone, I bring forth blessings for myself and others.
I pay attention to what I am thinking, and the results that ensue. I see how what I appreciate, appreciates; how positive expectations yield positive outcomes. I lift my consciousness to manifest blessings for myself and others. I know the power of my consciousness is one with the power of God—and with God, all things are possible.
The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good.—Luke 6:45

"Dear Darrell and Ed: I woke up this morning with this line in my head "When God's in charge, life is large". My first thought was "that must have been the name of a funniest thing episode". I was going to ask you when I was on the show today but, of course, I was so drawn into what you guys were saying that I totally forgot. So my question is "was that an episode title?" or is my thinking being influenced by your show? Either way, it's all good.
Keep up the good work."

"P.S. If it's not the name of a show, feel free to steal my idea!!!"

As mentioned during this episode, Francis the Cat enjoys the soothing healing effects of your loving prayers. Thank you.
As mentioned by today's guest Jenn Henry, her little old lady, Hope, passed out exhausted after eating some dinner ironically similar to Darrell's previously drawn cartoon.
