Wonder, the mental state of openness, questioning, curiosity, and embracing mystery, arises out of experiences of awe. In our studies, people who find more everyday awe show evidence of living with wonder. They are more open to new ideas. To what is unknown. To what language can’t describe. To the absurd. To seeking new knowledge. To experience itself, for example of sound, or color, or bodily sensation, or the directions thought might take during dreams or meditation. To the strengths and virtues of other people. It should not surprise that people who feel even five minutes a day of everyday awe are more curious about art, music, poetry, new scientific discoveries, philosophy, and questions about life and death. They feel more comfortable with mysteries, with that which cannot be explained.

Subject: WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH BUT WE ARE JUDGED BY OUR WORKS. To the churches in my area, may God bless you, In the world today we learn of horrible things & we complain helplessly as we pass the messages on. We live in what seems to be a world of doom. So where are the solutions? There are solutions but… are they being intentionally silenced & hidden? Yes, we have solutions, but we have to stop being a ‘consumer only’ nation, waiting for everyone else to jump in to save us. “…that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10. Churches have been secretly, intentionally & slowly divided to their ruin… can you see it? Then they don’t know what to do so they try to stay safe… we all do. But aren’t we called to train up disciples in all nations? We can’t do this if we are afraid, silent & divided. “For whosoever will save their life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:25. The unity of the church has untapped power in God, but He needs to hear from us… He needs us to be willing. America matters to God…. and it’s not just for us… the whole world depends on what happens to America. So in order to survive we need to unite and be the producers for God and country. It’s easier to save America now than it is to get it back once it’s gone. Think of our children and theirs. Here are two solutions: NewCaliforniaState.com New California State is the solution that uses the United States Constitution, just like the successful West Virginians did during the Civil War, to save their state AND our nation. God is here and in His power, America can be the next “Parting of the Red Sea” but we have to be present & repentant. ‘Let My People Go’, the movie/documentary by David Clement. rumble.com/v4hbzv0-full-movie-let-my-people-go-by-dr.-david-clements-watch-it-here.html?e9s=rel_v1_b David Clemet’s suppressed movie/documentary, “Let My People Go”, about election fraud and J6 is free for everyone to watch. This is a revealing appeal to ‘We the People’ and the Church to wake up from our indoctrination & brainwashing before our America is dead.
