From Frank Meli
Hi -
My name is Frank Meli and I'm from Sydney Australia and just want to say how much I enjoy Rev Moira Foxe's talks, which you have generously made available for podcasts. I hope they continue. I don't know how many overseas listeners you have but there is one here in Australia. I did know about Science of Mind before the poscasts but Rev Moira does bring the message alive. Thank you for providing the service. God Bless You Frank Meli
From Linda Husband
I can't tell you how very much your
internet presentations and podcasts mean to me - they are like sunshine on
stained glass windows! thanks again.
Hello!
Thank you so much for your generosity in offering free podcasts! I downloaded a number of them last week and have just been so blessed by your ministry!
I found the church of Religious Science by wanting to understand what the philosophy was that informed the writings of Louise Hay. Louise Hay's publications have been a real godsend to me over the years--and i just had to learn more. The richness I am finidng in your podcasts is immeasurable.
As I live in England and have no access to a Church of Religious Science--I wondered if you could help me. I want to learn more--but am new to the field--I have read Catherine Ponder's books on prosperity and health--but nothing else. Could you advise me on what to read next--perhaps give me a reading list that will give me a well rounded view of Religious Science please?
As you are on the internet I know you are interested in worldwide outreach--what plans have you to support those of us who find you online? I am so hoping that I will be able to study with your church group--perhaps by being able to obtain the course texts Pastor Moira Foxe refers to in her presentations etc. Will you be selling through the internet in future?
Hoping you will get in touch--and thanks again---
with gratitude and much love

"I wanted to write to Thank You for having your messages available on the website and send an offering of my gratitude. Redondo Beach CRS was the first church that I felt at home at. I spent many Sundays enjoying your services until I moved back to the east coast to be near my family. I have yet to find a spiritual center here that I enjoy as much as yours, but the online messages keep me feeling connected. I truly appreciate it! In gratitude, Michelle Marin
From Ursula Bergman
"Thank you for being there for us with "Spirit Speaks" with Rev. Moira's uplifting letters. I don't know what I would sometimes do without them. Since I cannot drive anymore, I am unable to attend your services. I like to wish each and every one a blessed and joyful thanksgiving! With love and thanks, Ursula
From Connie Chavez:
This was my cancer experience. We are the couple that sits up front for the Sunday 9:00a.m. service. My husband Toney is the one who gives everyone gifts. It was because of my church and it's support I made it through. Thanks to all. God bless, Connie Chavez
I’ve never written anything for the public to read before but I believe God wants me to share this experience with you, because you are a part of my healing. Recapping the events of this experience has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to face
Before my birthday in October, of which I turned 58. I found a lump under my right breast. At the time I thought it might be in my breast, which I found out later it wasn’t. I believe it had been there for a long time. I had felt a hard knot on my rib, but didn’t think too much of it, because in my earlier days I fought a lot, so thought I had hurt it that way. When I went to the doctor, which wasn’t often, they never said anything about it. One night after I came home from my AA meeting on Wednesday night,( I’ve been sober 23 years) I was sitting on the couch and felt a lot of pressure in my chest where the knot was. I pressed it and a strange feeling came all over me. It was so strange it scared me. I called my doctor the next day and made an appointment to see her. I had an appointment Friday to see her and after the examination, she made an emergency appointment for me to have a mammogram and ultra sound. The lady at the hospital who gave me the mammogram, was a pastor’s wife. We shared while I was there and she asked if she could pray for me. I felt that God was letting me know he was with me. After the ultra sound the doctor who examined me couldn’t say for sure what it was. They set me up for another examination with another doctor. The doctor couldn’t identify the lump either. Now they send me to have a biopsy. I was a little scared, always leery of the unknown. The experience was uncomfortable but not painful. The doctor who did it was so nice and compassionate. Now I have to wait two days for the results. That was the longest two days of my life… I prayed so hard wanting it to be nothing and I could just go on. When I went in for the results the doctor told me I had sarcoma cancer and it was malignant. I felt my heart drop to the floor. My wonderful husband who has been with me every step of the way has been my rock. I’m so blessed God choose him as my mate. I didn’t know what to do. I was so scared I wanted to scream and cry, instead I just sat there frozen listening to what the doctor said.
I didn’t know it at the time, but I became very depressed. I didn’t want to talk to anyone about cancer. I’m normally curious and I didn’t even go online to look it up. I just wanted to hide out in my bedroom and be alone. I would cry most of the time, I kept asking WHY???? I had served the God I love so faithfully for 23 years. I believed that by his stripes I was healthy from my head to my feet, I prayed a lot for other people but never thought it would be me who needed the prayer.
I had been diagnosed 22 years ago with cancer of the uterus. I called my Pastor at that time up and he and I prayed on the phone. When I arrived at the specialist and after the examination, he said he could find nothing. I called my Bishop when I found out about the cancer, because I thought the same thing would happen, that I would be healed and another miracle would occur, but he was to busy to pray with me.
I was so hurt, I really thought I would receive my miracle if he had prayed with me. That didn’t seem to be in the plan. I don’t know if it’s possible to become more depressed, but I felt like a zombie, just a numb body doing what it was told to do.
I went back to the oncologist and he said they would have to remove my whole breast to get to the tumor. He sent me for a S cat & Pet scan to see if it was any place else in my body. I had appointment to go back and see the oncologist to get the results from the scans. He said the cancer hadn’t spread, which was a good thing, but I would probable lose my right breast for them to remove the tumor. He made an appointment for me to see a surgeon.
During this time a woman came into my life she had been trying to get sober for 15 years. Her roommate had just died in the bed next to her, she really went on a drunk after that. She called me up a couple of weeks after he died crying and not knowing what to do. She was being evicted and had no place to go. I wasn’t sure what God was thinking of, putting her in my life while I was going through the hardest time of my life. God kept telling me to go get her and I kept arguing I didn’t want to. I didn’t have the energy to deal with this now. Needles to say God won. I moved her in my house, and Lord could that woman talk, she had so much nervous energy, I wasn’t sure this was going to work, but we would make it another day.. She stayed sober for 104 days, had two jobs and was doing good. She had been living with us for three months now and I thought it was time for her to move and take care of herself, she was 51 years old and needed to grow up. We found her a house with roommates because she didn’t want to live alone. She was there two days and got drunk. She stayed drunk for one week and walked 12 miles to my house for me to help her again. I’m thinking God this is not funny. I don’t want her back here again. I gave in again, she had no one to help her, and she was all alone. We took her to detoxify, she was there for a week, and then she came back to my house. We found her a place to live in a sober living house for women. She was also able to keep one of her jobs. She is doing ok now. We will continue on this journey together.
OK, now I go to the surgeon, who is a very nice doctor and easy to talk to. He wanted me to see a Plastic surgeon for the reconstruction of my breast. The surgeon now thinks he will only have to remove part of my breast not all of it. The Plastic surgeon, says they will not have to remove any part of my breast because of the location, they can go under my breast to remove the tumor. Both surgeons need to have a consultation and to discuss the surgery date. They ask me if I wanted to have the surgery after the first of the year and I said no… I did not want to go into the New Year with cancer in my body. I also wanted to be home with my husband and bring in the New Year as we have for 22 years. A few weeks later I received the good news they would do the Surgery on Dec. 28th.
I had a few weeks before the surgery, and my wonderful husband came in with a silver horse necklace for me. He said this would show we were in the race to win and beat this cancer. I wore it every day. On the day of my surgery I had to take it off. My husband took it and put in my things. I wanted to put it on as soon as I could after surgery.
I was doing ok spiritually and mentally, until they wheeled me into the surgery room and I started to cry. I got so scared. I wanted to run somewhere and hide, but knew I couldn’t I’ve never had surgery before, didn’t even go to doctors much. My husband talked to me and kept telling me God had his hand on me and everything would be ok. When I got into the surgery room it was fast, They had me out real quick, and I’m so grateful. When I woke up, I was hurting so bad. My Mother, Daughter Toni and good friend Tina, who drove in from San Jose, was there. I have such great friends and family. I didn’t know I would need so much support and prayer, but I did. They stayed for awhile. I didn’t get into my room until almost 10:00 p.m. Lord God how I hurt. I don’t think I’ve ever felt such pain.
They gave me morphine for the pain, but it made me sick. The next day they took me off it and put me on something else. I had so many calls the next day, I could hardly talk because they took out, 6” of my rib and some muscle, and I could hardly breathe. I had to ask my husband to ask everyone to wait until the next day to call. I still had so many visitors, it was nice to be cared for so much. I’m such a blessed woman.
I didn’t realize until after I had been home for a few days and I came home from the hospital on the 31st of Dec. that I started looking for my horse necklace to put on. We searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. I think I might have left it at the hospital. My husband said maybe someone else needed now to win their race, so I let go and sent blessings to whomever it went to.
I had an appointment to go see the oncologist, Jan. 11th. He’s very technical and only seems to believe in medical science, but I’m very grateful to him for sending me to the surgeon he did. The doctor is telling my husband and I about sarcoma cancer, and how it can come back in 5 years, and that I should have the rest of my rib taken out as a precaution, because sometimes some cancer cells are lingering. He still had no guarantees that this would remove it for good. After all the medical bull pucky he says I’m cancer free!!!! Praise God, Praise God!!!!! He said I didn’t need radiation or chemo and I claim my healing and I know who God sets free is free in deed. I believe he let me feel the knot under my breast that Wednesday night so I would do something other than ignore it, so he could save my life.
I had an appointment on Feb. 8th, with the surgeon and he asks me what the oncologist said and at first he said he agreed with him and I should have the surgery.. My gentle quiet husband almost jumped off the chair. The surgeon had to go out of the office for a call and I read the pathology report. It said they did not think any further action was to be taken at this time, only keep a close eye on me. My husband said to the doctor that he had said he had removed all the cancer and if he really thought it was necessary to operate. I also told the doctor I was healed and he wasn’t going to operate on me anymore. The doctor laughed and said he would see me in 6 months. He didn’t think surgery was necessary at this time either to remove the rest of my rib.
For some reason I couldn’t get what the oncologist had said about the removal of my rib out of my head. I started to question if I made the right decision, I want to live so badly. I felt so scared. I went back to work and one day I went outside and walked around the parking lot, praying and talking to God. I needed some kind of confirmation I had made the right decision. This was on a Friday afternoon. When I got home I had a phone call from my Aunt, stating my 99 year old grandmother had passed away around 12:00 when I was praying in the parking lot. I had to go pick up my glasses the Eye Care place and I passed by my mailman. He had a package for me. When I got back I opened the package, it was from our oldest son Tony Jr. and his girlfriend Cindy. When I looked inside it was a silver horse necklace and the horse earrings to match. On the card she wrote, thank God you have “Won the Race”. That was my confirmation from God that all was well and I had made the right decision. No one knew about the horse except my husband and I. Our son and girlfriend live in Florida. They had been searching for this horse necklace for over a week. Is this a consequence or is this my loving God watching over me? I Know it is my God, who loves me and watches over me. I have a cousin who passed away a few years ago, who loved horses and we were close, was this her also letting me know everything was ok? Is there a connection? God is so powerful and all knowing, maybe he’ll tell me someday… Praise God “I have won the race”
May God Bless you as you read this and may his presence be all around you
