"TO HIM WHO POSSESSES DISCERNMENT, ALL PERSONAL LIFE IS MISERY, BECAUSE IT EVER WAXES AND WANES, IS EVER AFFLICTED WITH RESTLESSNESS, MAKES EVER NEW DYNAMIC IMPRESSES IN THE MIND; AND BECAUSE ALL ITS ACTIVITIES WAR WITH EACH OTHER."
The whole life of the psychic self is misery, because it ever waxes and wanes; because birth brings inevitable death; because there is no expectation without its shadow, fear. The life of the psychic self is misery, because it is afflicted with restlessness; so that he who has much, finds not satisfaction, but rather the whetted hunger for more. The fire is not quenched by pouring oil on it; so desire is not quenched by the satisfaction of desire. Again, the life of the psychic self is misery, because it makes ever new dynamic impresses in the mind; because a desire satisfied is but the seed from which springs the desire to find like satisfaction again. The appetite comes in eating, as the proverb says, and grows by what it feeds on. And the psychic self, torn with conflicting desires, is ever the house divided against itself, which must surely fall.
- Book II, Sutra 15 from "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man", An Interpretation By Charles Johnston (1912)

"A BIBLICAL BEAUTY: DR. MEDINA PULLINGS"
There are two approaches to beauty. 1) Spiritual and 2) Natural (earthly). Each approach requires effort.
"PRINCIPLE: IT IS EASIER TO OBTAIN THAN IT IS TO MAINTAIN."
This principle is applicable to both approaches. BIBLICAL BEAUTY is a journey embarking upon the exploration of both.
My personal beauty maintenance program combines both via strategic prayer, fasting, beauty oils and herbs, cutting edge health and beauty products, proper nutrition, vitamins, facials, exercise and makeup techniques.
While there can be a predisposition to beauty, health, youth and vitality in varying degrees by virtue of good genes thanks to our Moms and Dads, God has blessed every single woman on the planet with a beauty secret. That secret is the glow that emanates from the anointing of God and the love of Jesus Christ supersedes any aspect of worldly beauty. The more time spent with God and His Word, the more evident the anointing.
With that in mind, let us embark upon the BIBLICAL BEAUTY journey and develop what God has imparted to us.
"Love,"
"Michele"

"Blessed William Reed Huntington (1838-1909): Episcopal priest, husband, father, practical theologian, writer, secretary of the 1892 Book of Common Prayer" revision, nominee for bishop in 8 dioceses (all of which he declined), liturgical designer, and ecumenicist (having developed the four principles of the "Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral", one of the Episcopal Church's most important historical documents), once quipped: "...If you map out four distinct parties" [in the Church], "and name them RITUALISTIC, "HIGH, "LOW, and "BROAD, I am a good deal in doubt where I properly belong..."
Nevertheless, he was an eloquent proponent of oneness within the Episcopal Church, as well as of oneness among the various Christian denominations.
Among his memorable statements: "Antagonisms there must always be in the Church, but organized antagonisms ought as far as possible...to be avoided." A profoundly wise bit of advice which it would be well for all involved in the recent and current disagreements within the Anglican Communion to take to heart.
His statement, from his book "The Church Idea "(1870), is still terribly relevant to the life of the Episcopal Church generally, and to that of each of its parishes and missions: "...If our whole ambition as Anglicans in America be to continue a small, but eminently respectable body of Christians, and to offer a refuge to people of refinement and sensibility, who are shocked by the irreverences they are apt to encounter elsewhere; in a word, if we care to be only a countercheck and not a force in society; then let us say as much in plain terms, and frankly renounce any and all claim to Catholicity. We have only, in such a case, to wrap the robe of our dignity about us, and walk quietly along in seclusion no one will take much trouble to disturb. Thus may we be a Church in name, and a sect in deed. But if we aim at something nobler than this, if we would have our Communion become national in very truth-in other words, if we would bring the Church of Christ into the closest possible sympathy with the throbbing, sorrowing, sinning, repenting, aspiring heart of this great people-then let us press our reasonable claims to be the reconciler of a divided household, not in a spirit of arrogance (which ill befits those who best possessions have come to them by inheritance), but with affectionate earnestness and an intelligent zeal."
"Fervent love" for the Church and its mission in the world, and "unflagging faith" in God's promises are two of Huntington's qualities mentioned in the collect for his feast day today: worthy ideals for us who, in Baptism, bear the name of Christ.
