ANATOLIA: I am Anatolia. Good afternoon, my [[friends]] and [[family]]. I am here in lieu of Matthew who is kind enough to [[focus]] us on our format such that we are ready to begin. Let me take his place today and lead you in [[prayer]], that we may focus on our [[purpose]] here, and gather in our interests to determine what we shall feed [[the soul]] of you today.

[[Touch]] these beautiful mortal [[children of God]] today in [[grace]]. Guide us in the [[perceptions]] which would most benefit our [[heart]] which beats in you. We cordially invite you and your creations into our arena this afternoon to conjoin with us in fellowship, praise, [[study]] and [[worship]] of that which is in you and of you. [[Amen]].

TOMAS: I am Tomas. Good afternoon. I have on my lips, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" I feel very much like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_claus Santa Claus] this afternoon surrounded by your happy childlike faces. The [[radiance]] of your good cheer is a light indeed. Your calm composure is a comfort in the [[maelstrom]] of [[humanity]]. The strength garnered from your combined energies and [[personalities]] presents a reality from which you may diverge into your separate ways in [[service]] to Him who has sent us.

'Angels we have heard on high,' yearn, still, to be heard even more. The propensity is to [[appeal]] to God and His Agents when you are troubled or stressed. But the true child of God also turns his face to [[Divinity]] with rejoicing. How wonderful it is to have such a [[community]] here today. Dear Rachel and Nathaniel, precious students, what a [[joy]] it is to be able to greet you and to make again the acquaintance of your precious child, daughter of God in [[potential]].

TOMAS: Myra, dear, I was, of course, intending to acknowledge you and to admit my delight at your return to the fold. But as a worker in the field, it is completely [[understood]] that when the needs are great, we serve by following the Need. Only when our Need is great do we turn with [[conviction]] to that which we need to uphold ourselves.

Esmarelda: And then, Tomas, we can add two more additions to our group today: Deborah and Don from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Lake_City Salt Lake].

Did I neglect to welcome those of you who have been here all along? (big laugh from the group)

Esmarelda: Well, Tomas, the thing I have been wondering about this week is this cloning thing. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning cloning] that is supposedly going on right now …maybe it has been confirmed now…it sounded like it on the last news I heard…a little girl. What do you all think about that?

TOMAS: I think the [[concept]] feeds upon your tendency toward being [[scandal]]-mongers. You love this kind of thing. You get a [[controversy]] and beat it to death. Like an old bone, you chew it until it is in absentia.

Elena: You mentioned going through a [[natural]] [[course]] of events and in that vein I have been dealing with mice in the house. I put out some D-con after thinking about it a lot and it seemed to me that there was no way around this. I thought about [[praying]] the mice away and all that - and this may be looked at as a [[trivial]] matter - but it was a big deal to me. It made me think about some other things too, like how praying is [[focusing]] on a situation but there seems to be no substitute for actually going through the physical [[steps]] in cases like this. So, I guess I'm asking how prayer and [[physical]] life can be [[coordinated]] because so many things in physical life seem unavoidable.

TOMAS: Many of these [[growth]]-inducing [[experiences]] will be necessary, for this, indeed, is how you develop [[wisdom]] and perfect your world. [[Perfection]] is hard to [[perceive]], but it has to be sought … and you seek perfection in having a mouse-free environment. Thus you need to apply yourself intelligently to the task at hand, having determined "mice are unwelcome". There are many who have no [[problem]] with mice but the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunta_virus Huntavirus] and other threats of [[disease]] are in order for you to consider the refinement of your environments, including mouse entrapment.

Cats would be the natural evolutionary solution and you are [[lamenting]] that you cannot pawn this job off on your cat. You have perhaps indulged your cat dietarily such that it has no use for 'common' food? I jest, in part. If there is a [[merciful]] execution, it would be merciful, but I don't recommend [[chemicals]] as a means of terrestrial escape under any circumstances.
