Jesus said "...you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32

what is theeffect?

theeffect is focused on realizing the transforming effect of God’s love in people’s everyday lives. Without true transformation, that is, recovery from addictions, compulsions, and other destructive patterns, there is no basis for the healthy relationships that support a full life. That most people in both our faith communities and secular communities never experience such transformation reveals the lack of an integrated approach to life and spirituality that addresses these issues directly.

theeffect is committed to providing both the spiritual direction and physical tools needed for people to break through whatever destructive patterns they have established in their lives.

FOR EVERYONE!

The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that
He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Neibuhr-1926 ******

We are all recovering from "something."
There is no such thing as "normal."
We all leave this earth with scars.
(Some scars can not be seen)
It is how we learn to live with them (and each other)
that counts.

Please know that you are not alone
We all carry something with us.
It is this journey that we are all on
"together" that brings the healing God
intends for us.

The person you come in contact with today,
could have been sent by our Father.
Please do not discount "anyone" that comes your way...
