A.R.E. Meeting for 3/18/13


Leader: Eric
Readers: Eric

We read several sections in "The Cross and the Crown" chapter, and next week we will start with the one titled "Why has the cross been chosen rather than some other philosophy that might correlate the material and spiritual life?"

The experiment for this week is on page 113:
Choose and write down an area of your life in which you feel burdened. List the ways you have to work to feel this way--the attitudes you have to work on holding, the behaviors you have to do to keep this feeling. Then select one item from your list and write a more constructive replacement attitude or behavior. Work each day for at least a week on expressing that replacement in this area of your life.
Example:
Burdened by: frequent arguments with Richard
Attitudes and behaviour I work at: make an effort to recall past instances where I thought he was selfish;   make an effort to feel resentful;  make an effort to speak unkindly of him to others
Replacement: begin to speak in a more positive way of him to others
