article today by Guy Kovner:
New Year's resolutions, made during the "hubbub of the holidays," don't work for Viljoen, 49, leader of a 1,000-member congregation.
"My best resolutions have come at unpredictable times, often not at the beginning of the year," he said. "Indeed, I have found that if I force the matter . . . I have a much lower success rate at sticking to my resolution than when through personal reflection I come the awareness to do something, quit something, change something, etc."

Science of Mind and Spirit For Begnners
"This wonderful book guides any individual to understand Science of Mind with ease and grace. It is a simple and beautiful presentation of the Spiritual Principles Science of Mind teaches. I highly recommend this book to students, licensed Practitioners and ministers. Blessings to Rev Edward." ~ Johan Gonzalez RScP. Science of Mind and Spirit for Beginners: Four Chapters in Simplified Prose, paraphrased by Edward VIljoen
Practice The Presence Journal
Journaling offers a powerful way to record your spiritual growth. Writing in a journal calls on you to be more conscious of the insights that occur daily in your life. It gives you an opportunity to examine your beliefs and be mindful of your choices.
Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
