<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am always touched by your willingness to share the
things of life. How many times have we shared sorrow? How often have we been
overtaken by uncontrollable laughter? When we set out to establish the
Correcting Time, this group here is indeed much of what it was to look like. You
have quite a ministry here. We know our people here are real, genuine. We can
freely admit that out in the everyday world we choose to show a certain side of
ourselves. Here in this room however, we find it completely safe to be our true
selves.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
believe our last assignment was to read up on the Master’s great decisions. I do
believe I so admired the Master for upholding these decisions, no matter what.
Many times He could have made His enemies look like fools and yet, He chose the
natural way of allowing the will of God to unfold.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am MARY. I also am inspired by the Master’s immovable attitude concerning His
life laws. You could say that the Master could have created attention for
Himself and also won the ear of the people. This is why Jesus was and is our
sovereign universe upholder. He simply chose the way of God’s will. No
exceptions. As much as He desired to save His people, He knew that any shortcuts
would be fleeting and interfering with our agondonter status and God’s
will.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">It
is said, “What the Son desires and the Father wills, is.” The Master could have
put on quite the show. He could have won over the people through miracles and
still it would not have been enough. The Master chose the unfolding of natural
evolution. He trusted the mind of God. He trusted the power of God. Jesus’
practice of meditation and prayer kept Him strong in upholding these great
decisions. The Master loved people. You could see it in His eyes and read it on
His face. Any good parent loves to bring joy to their child. The wise parent
consults with the Father of all fathers on how to parent
best.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Even under such pressure the Master stayed faithful to
His decisions. Always was there time set aside for simple consultation. The
Master knew there was always the struggle between the spirit and the animal and
no matter how much pain might come, His loyalty was always to the spirit. That
is all for now. I can take questions, or you can also request Abraham.
Proceed.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">SIMON: Mary, I am so grateful for this group that
provides an anchor for me and my life. I am still assessing my own ministry.
Sometimes I feel like I come up short. I wonder if I should make some drastic
changes or stay where I’m at and just improve my ministry through my work that I
am currently doing? I am just up for doing Father’s will the best way I
can.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">MARY: I think that sounds wonderful, Simon. The Father
does not ask us to make great changes, but simply small modifications. Small
changes are lasting and more acceptable to people. Upset in everyday living is a
cause for stress and ill health. The Father would not have that for us. In the
short time I have known you, Simon, I see you as someone who seeks acceptance.
When you come to the realization that you have all the acceptance you will ever
need through God, the Father, then will peace abide in your heart and your
ministry will come naturally. You are a sweet man. Your ability to show someone
you care by listening to them is big. It is quite an accomplishment. Take time
to journal those things you have deep need for acceptance for. Spend time in
meditation and know that Father loves you for you. He seeks nothing from you.
That should be a cause for peace and in that, natural ministry tasks will flow.
Have not worry, Simon, you do well.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

since February. I’ve been ministering to our little kitty,

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">, who just died. I thank you for being here. We’ve
relied on Father and it has been hard. Don asked me to ask, “Do you have
feedback regarding </SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">MARY: Yes, certainly. First of all, Miriam, I am happy
to be in your presence. I know we have not known each other long, but I admire
your courage. Every living thing needs to be needed or be loved. In the case of
your precious pet, you and Don have shared the value of taking care of one in
need. I do know from firsthand experience there is no greater honor than to
usher life to the next realm. Always does pain make you set aside trivial things
and focus on the priorities in life. You and Don are at that age where life is
becoming a bit more peaceful and the caretaking of
</SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Chelsea</SPAN></st1:place></st1:City><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"> helped you to band together more firmly. It is
difficult in this throw-away society to stay married. You and Don have set such
a beautiful example. There are hardships couples must face and learn to work as
a team. Your precious pet provided such an experience. Know that nothing loved
is ever lost. You are in a wonderful position to withdraw the meanings and
values out of this particular experience and that helps you to minister to
others. Take comfort in life energy goes on and memories are kept alive by love.
Have not worry, allow regular life to set back in. You have made some terrific
decisions as of late. Stand by them. Have not regret. You do well, Miriam, my
daughter.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">CALVIN: Mary, I would like your perspective on how you
are depicted as of late.. In a way it is ironic to hear from you with so much of
the world hearing maybe a skewed story, but nonetheless..<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">MARY: I do find it all so interesting. I have not known
such notoriety. I am understanding the deeper meaning beyond the fiction and
that would be that Christ had set woman as man’s equal many years ago and the
churches would not have it. Sometimes the truth must come along with fiction and
for you, my friends, I would stay true to the tool that brings you such detail
of the Master’s life and that is the Urantia Book. I think that woman is finding
her place in the world and it is not to take man’s place from him, but to do
what she does best. My hope of this controversy is that people come to realize
there were women apostles and they were with courage, honor and faith--so
willing to die for their cause. I am with hope that the world will see that
Father is no respecter of persons. All are equal in the
</SPAN><st1:place><st1:PlaceType><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"> of </SPAN><st1:PlaceName><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">God</SPAN></st1:PlaceName></st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">. It is a time for women to stop complaining of what
they are not allowed to do and simply take their place. This indeed makes for a
wonderful up step to the Correcting Time. In the meantime, I find all the
controversy to be entertaining. Good question. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
