Ann Schranz    005-  Association Sunday

 

Check in with yourself to see how wealthy you feel

 

 

Electric bill was $2,617.46

 

 

Ann is a pessimistic optimist --the half full glass will be empty before long

 

 

Ann thought she was going to have to camp in a tent

 

 

Wealth and Poverty are rooted in objective reality

 

 

Generosity is rooted in subjective reality

 

 

Feeling wealthy requires short-circuiting a panic response and cultivating gratitude

 

 

Ann's daily affirmation:  "Thank you for a safe, warm, clean dry, quiet place to sleep last night."

 

 

Ann's daily affirmation is a Thank-you to life for life

 

 

Kindness is Ann's top priority

 

 

Writers who have influenced Ann:  UU Teachings, Ken Wilber, Krishnamurti

 

 

e.e. cummings was a UU

 

 

Oppression is likely to occur when hierarchy of power tilts away from the local congregation

 

 

There is also danger from excessive decentralized power

 

 

There is power in teamwork and unity among congregations

 

 

There are 1,100 UU congregations and 2/3s have less than 150 members

 

 

UU ad in Time Magazine -The church for people who have rejected other people's view of God

 

 

UUs imagine themselves as Don Quixote protecting the local congregation from outside influences

 

 

Generosity is more about feelings of generosity rather than your checkbook balance

 

 

The story of Abu Kassim's shoes

 

 

Let us nurture generosity within ourselves
