We are all soulmates

Cecil brings it all home! - Spirit of community! - Unconditional love for others and self. -Serve others and live fully... There is nothing abstract in his preaching. We create our worlds/lives and we are responsible for the consequences, good and bad. Janice brings leadership, feminine power, poetry, beauty and so much more. Together they have changed the life of millions. From the center of my heart, Thank, Thank You!!

This costs nothing

This is my first time listening to a glide service. I have heard great things and I'll certainly give another listen but my question is where is the scripture? Maybe this was a bit of father's day fluff? I'm not sure what I expected, but I expected more. The music was beautiful but the sermon seemed flimsy.
