| ================================================== Spiritual Healing Requests ================================================== Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms. Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs. Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know. Prayer for Spiritual Healing I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force To remove all obstructions From my mind and body And to restore me to perfect health. I ask this in all sincerity and honesty And I will do my part. I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force To help both present and absent ones Who are in need of help And to restore them to perfect health. I put my trust and love in the power of God.

The Reboli Center presents BLOOM, a mixed media, group exhibition celebrating the end of winter and the rebirth of the environment that surrounds us. On through Sunday, July 10, 2022.

A note from Kyle: "The polyptych landscape shown here with squares and triangles was inspired by Andy Warhol. He likes square canvases which is not the norm and it is a concept of people taking photos that are fragmented. He loved the camera." |
