Thank you Norm. Truth is accurate, spot-on, doesn't deviate, gets it right every time, not smudgy or sloppy. Like flying in close formation. Elegant, poised, beautiful. Awe-inspiring. How woderful to know that man is the very expression of that exactness. And that includes everyone everywhere.

“Everybody does it I’ll be okay”, “don't worry about it”, “it doesn't have to be perfect.”
Sound familiar? We demand little, we live in a permissive society . . . but you know what? An error is an error and although many of us are tough with ourselves, we are only human!
Another excuse.
Are we really? As children of The Father of Lights, (http://bible.cc/james/1-17.htm) we can affirm our permanent place in God’s harmonious plan, and when we really understand this fact, there’s truly: NO ROOM FOR ERROR -because there’s no room for His unlikeness.
ESPAÑOL:
"Todo el mundo lo hace va a estar bien", "no te preocupes por eso", “no tiene que ser perfecto.” "¿Suena familiar? Exigimos poco, vivimos en una sociedad permisiva. . . pero ¿sabes qué? Un error es un error y, aunque muchos de nosotros somos duros con nosotros mismos, ¡somos solo humanos!
Otra excusa.
¿Lo somos realmente? Como hijos del Padre de las Luces, (http://bibliaparalela.com/james/1-17.htm) podemos afirmar nuestro lugar permanente en el armonioso plan de Dios, y cuando realmente comprendemos este hecho, verdaderamente: NO HAY MARGEN PARA EL ERROR, porque no hay espacio para Su desemejanza.

It's always good to have your Lift, Norm. And this is a Lift that will result in so much good around the so-called world. As the Truth of God is affirmed, so the belief of error is simply dispelled. It doesn't leave a trace because it was never real. The reality, Truth, is so much more apparent: light, bright, and all good. Sometimes it seems as though we work and work and nothing is happening. But the fact is that Truth is the reality right where false belief appeared to be.
Thank you Nate and the tireless back-up crew, the BoL and lecturers, and the Daily Lifters.

Thanks Norm. Simple, strong, applicable every day. And thanks for your previous lifts. Just the other day I was reminded of the video of the cars on your street graciously yielding the right of way to others as needed -- showing how we can graciously and unselfishly yield personal plans and expectations to God's perfect will. I was reminded of this quote from Mary Baker Eddy's book of collected shorter writings, First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, on page 23l:
"The right way wins the right of way, even the way of Truth and Love whereby all our debts are paid, mankind blessed, and God glorified."

Suppositional error must not be allowed any space in consciousness and in reality can have no room there as Truth already fills all space. A little child understanding this fact once spoke, "Get out old error, come in Truth." In Science, only God claims all space and that is where we, each as His reflective, pure idea, reside, not knowing anything other than His perfect good. How grand it is to have this hope, such faith, this promise for keeping!
Thank you, Norm for today's affirmative uplift.

Thanks so much, Norm, for reminding us that there is no room for error since "God is everywhere and nothing apart from Him is present or has power." (MBE) In Science and Health it also states, "Keep your mind so filled with Life, Truth and Love, that sin, disease and error cannot enter. Nothing can be added to a mind that is already full."

Thank you, Mr. Norm! So, what's the norm today? I'll say it with you, "There is no room for error!" As a child I learned to say it this way, "There's not a spot where God is not!" It's always really amazing to me that we, as Christian Scientists, actually believe and strive to understand and demonstrate this! I spend a lot of time sharing C.S. with others and when I'm talking about it, explaining some of the concepts, I get a glimpse of how radical C.S. really is, especially when I see the looks of amazement on peoples' faces! But under the amazement, I also see just a hint of recognition and a longing to know that this is really true! We have the pearl of great price in Christian Science - let's open up our thought and hearts and share it with the world! Our brothers and sisters are hungering for it! Big Hugs and Love to All!

Years ago I was walking along a back street in Carmel, CA. and passed a row of attached houses. Each unit had a garage underneath and a steeply sloped driveway. The garage doors were very small and then I noticed many of them had a sign over their door saying “Clearance” and gave the exact available height.
One garage door sign simply said “Just Enough”.
I realized Clearance is just a “margin for error” and we never need to make allowances or room for error.
In fact the only sign we need for error is NO Parking or NO Vacancy.
Certainly there is No Vacancy when we are already filled with Love, but often we need a reminder to let error know it is not welcome.
The comedian Bill Engvall uses the punch phrase “Here’s your sign”.
Maybe our “No Vacancy” sign is just a Smile or friendly greeting and we need to wear it each day.

Terrific! Thank you. I really needed to affirm "my permanent place in God's harmonious plan" and to expect flawless steps for a busy week leading into a busy season.This is helping me to feel joy and excitement about witnessing harmonious unfoldment of everything - instead of thinking of the future weeks as busy, implying that there's too much to fit in harmoniously - I feel a shift - it's a time of abundance - there's no room for error that would trick me into thinking there is no room for more good! Can there be too much God, Good, in our days?! Thanks also to #36 Danis for the poem.
Nancy from Yellow Springs
- 11/14/2011
Well, Norm, this is why we have lifts! I will re-define what I think when I hear this expression again!
Your revelation, Norm, speaks quite simply to the science of Christian Science, where error, or mistake, has no function or foundation. So many times as we release our grasp of the “margin of error”, divine harmony is always and has already been there. It is absolute.
I am reminded of a great riding instructor who was frustrated with some riders making some sloppy mistakes (who shall remain nameless). Then, when the correct action was finally achieved he loudly exclaimed – “There! …Now! ….W H Y would you do it any other way?” I laughed at the simplicity of his expectations, but knew he was dismissing any room for error and that I could too!

Thank you Norm. Homes have designated areas for sleeping, eating, & more, but none reserved for storing & catching errors. Mal.3:10 says God pours so much blessings out to us, there isn't room to receive all of them. Principle, God wouldn't plan blessings, then make room for an enemy to intercept and punish us because we didn't receive them. Jer23:24 tells us more, that God fills heaven & earth.God, Truth, is All-in-all, and has no error for Himself, or for us, His ideas. If He did, He wouldn't have sent Jesus to undo His work by attempting to extract errors. If God wanted anyone afflicted with error for sinning, then for us to obey Christ Jesus, we and doctors would with prayer or medicines, be working against God's intentions for whomever is ill or troubled. Jesus didn't say anyone would have to put up with an error for awhile longer, because they deserved it. He wiped out errors. They vanished! Because Christian Science reveals we're not matter, but are spiritual ideas of divine Mind, there is no material spot where error can exist in reality. Mrs. Eddy's poem, in CS Hymns # 298-302, tells us Love makes radiant room for us, midst glories of endless day. We keep useful and needed objects handy in homes. Bible stories & verses, S&H citations, hymns, and testimonies stored in thought, are like clocks, calendars, tools, keys, mirrors, windows, and door knobs to alert us, keep us oriented, and to open a forward path to and through truth. #36 Danis, Thanks for poem.

I have recently been alerted to the need to be diligent in what I claim for myself and others. I am working on , not going for the "joke" or accommodating any adjustment to the spiritual fact.

Marilyn
- 11/14/2011Splendid! Just what I need today and always! Thank you.
Uta, Hamburg
- 11/14/2011Thank you Norm, yes very helpful. Saying "there is no room for error" - and understand it - that means as I learned in CS - let God make you understand it, listen to the right idea. These thoughts came to me while listening to your wonderful DL.
Gaby, Hamburg
- 11/14/2011Thanks for these hints for complete reliance on God`s guidance.
As I have to take "mistake-free" steps climbing up a several story high scaffold for inspection with a group today - I do pray along these lines - as always when such steps are necessary - inside or outside of our view.

Perfection is real since GOD is ALL !
Margaret Sunshine Coast Australia
- 11/14/2011It's always good to have your Lift, Norm. And this is a Lift that will result in so much good around the so-called world. As the Truth of God is affirmed, so the belief of error is simply dispelled. It doesn't leave a trace because it was never real. The reality, Truth, is so much more apparent: light, bright, and all good. Sometimes it seems as though we work and work and nothing is happening. But the fact is that Truth is the reality right where false belief appeared to be.
Thank you Nate and the tireless back-up crew, the BoL and lecturers, and the Daily Lifters.

- 11/14/2011Just arose very early to see my son off on a flight back to his home. How great to be reminded that for him and me we're starting a day (and every day} where there is "no room for error". Thanks.
jane,UK
- 11/14/2011Thank you for today's lift, keeping us on our toes! How important this is, I really appreciate the clarity of interpreting 'no room for error'. When we are totally filled with the consciousness of divine Love, erroneous thinking cannot harm us. Perfect for me today. Thank you.
Neil Walker
- 11/14/2011Thanks for the uplift without error.
Marilyn Crowley
- 11/14/2011Thanks Norm. Simple, strong, applicable every day. And thanks for your previous lifts. Just the other day I was reminded of the video of the cars on your street graciously yielding the right of way to others as needed -- showing how we can graciously and unselfishly yield personal plans and expectations to God's perfect will. I was reminded of this quote from Mary Baker Eddy's book of collected shorter writings, First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, on page 23l:
"The right way wins the right of way, even the way of Truth and Love whereby all our debts are paid, mankind blessed, and God glorified."
Mary H, AL
- 11/14/2011Thank you for the reminder that 'there is no room for error'. Have a day of good.

Peggy, Delaware
- 11/14/2011Thanks, Norm. We think we've got this thing nailed, and then seemingly innocent, self-deprecating thoughts sneak in under the guise of humility. BUT, "There's no room for error!"
Sunshine Today
- 11/14/2011Suppositional error must not be allowed any space in consciousness and in reality can have no room there as Truth already fills all space. A little child understanding this fact once spoke, "Get out old error, come in Truth." In Science, only God claims all space and that is where we, each as His reflective, pure idea, reside, not knowing anything other than His perfect good. How grand it is to have this hope, such faith, this promise for keeping!
Thank you, Norm for today's affirmative uplift.

- 11/14/2011Keeping our thought FILLED with Life, Truth and Love makes it impossible for error to find room!! Thank you so much for this Daily Lift today - for the reminder to keep our thought filled with God's love and provision for us every moment. Thanks too, to the BOL, Nate and all who make these lovely "day openers" possible.
Jean
- 11/14/2011Thanks so much for this strong, simple thought! In a Sunday School class a student once suggested that we " Don't want to hold an 'Open House' for error. I liked that thought. Thanks so much to all who are involved in presenting the Daily Lift. I love the joyous and spontaneous introductions!
Lori in California
- 11/14/2011Thanks so much, Norm, for reminding us that there is no room for error since "God is everywhere and nothing apart from Him is present or has power." (MBE) In Science and Health it also states, "Keep your mind so filled with Life, Truth and Love, that sin, disease and error cannot enter. Nothing can be added to a mind that is already full."

- 11/14/2011Wonderful thought to begin the new week, Norm. Pent and repent - to keep mortal thinking out of the picture.

With no illness, no hatred, no terror.
God-is-All fills the space
With Love's infinite grace.
We're all in it—and will be forever.

Bev N. Idaho
- 11/14/2011Thank you, Mr. Norm! So, what's the norm today? I'll say it with you, "There is no room for error!" As a child I learned to say it this way, "There's not a spot where God is not!" It's always really amazing to me that we, as Christian Scientists, actually believe and strive to understand and demonstrate this! I spend a lot of time sharing C.S. with others and when I'm talking about it, explaining some of the concepts, I get a glimpse of how radical C.S. really is, especially when I see the looks of amazement on peoples' faces! But under the amazement, I also see just a hint of recognition and a longing to know that this is really true! We have the pearl of great price in Christian Science - let's open up our thought and hearts and share it with the world! Our brothers and sisters are hungering for it! Big Hugs and Love to All!
SiouxZ

Michael
- 11/14/2011Years ago I was walking along a back street in Carmel, CA. and passed a row of attached houses. Each unit had a garage underneath and a steeply sloped driveway. The garage doors were very small and then I noticed many of them had a sign over their door saying “Clearance” and gave the exact available height.
One garage door sign simply said “Just Enough”.
I realized Clearance is just a “margin for error” and we never need to make allowances or room for error.
In fact the only sign we need for error is NO Parking or NO Vacancy.
Certainly there is No Vacancy when we are already filled with Love, but often we need a reminder to let error know it is not welcome.
The comedian Bill Engvall uses the punch phrase “Here’s your sign”.
Maybe our “No Vacancy” sign is just a Smile or friendly greeting and we need to wear it each day.
Yvonne
- 11/14/2011Thanks so much for this affirming message, Norm. You offer it with clarity and creativity.
Paul in Santa Fe, NM
- 11/14/2011Thanks Norm and #5-----Yes, hymn 298 says it all: "for you make radiant room midst the glories of one endless day." !! How wonderful is that?!! So, instead of getting hung up on some of the lies MM is constantly throwing at us, we can keep focused on God who governs our day perfectly!
Jan True, Laguna Hills, CA
- 11/14/2011Just perfect, Norm!
Thanks much!
Tracy C-K
- 11/14/2011Terrific! Thank you. I really needed to affirm "my permanent place in God's harmonious plan" and to expect flawless steps for a busy week leading into a busy season.This is helping me to feel joy and excitement about witnessing harmonious unfoldment of everything - instead of thinking of the future weeks as busy, implying that there's too much to fit in harmoniously - I feel a shift - it's a time of abundance - there's no room for error that would trick me into thinking there is no room for more good! Can there be too much God, Good, in our days?! Thanks also to #36 Danis for the poem.
Nancy from Yellow Springs
- 11/14/2011Well, Norm, this is why we have lifts! I will re-define what I think when I hear this expression again!
Your revelation, Norm, speaks quite simply to the science of Christian Science, where error, or mistake, has no function or foundation. So many times as we release our grasp of the “margin of error”, divine harmony is always and has already been there. It is absolute.
I am reminded of a great riding instructor who was frustrated with some riders making some sloppy mistakes (who shall remain nameless). Then, when the correct action was finally achieved he loudly exclaimed – “There! …Now! ….W H Y would you do it any other way?” I laughed at the simplicity of his expectations, but knew he was dismissing any room for error and that I could too!

Barbara from White Plains
- 11/14/2011As one who is sometimes guilty of "half-witted thinking", I am very grateful for today's Lift. Our daughter is currently looking for employment and in today's very challenging job market, it is a privilege to know that she "has a permanent place in God's harmonious plan".Thank you for this reassuring message.
Joy Hinman in Alberta Canada
- 11/14/2011Reminds me of an instructor at Art School years ago.
In that design class there was NO room for error, and this Lift reminds me of that.
Thanks, and a great day, all!
No room for error of any sort!

There is no room for error, Froggie, and from the Bible,
"A double minded man, is unstable in all his ways".
Is there any limit to the good derived from our daily lifts?
"And I will pour YOU out, a blessing, that the world will not be able to receive it."

- 11/14/2011Dear Norm,
Had to tell you that you helped so much today as you always do. I have been diligently, consistently beginning with God's allness and wholeness which would include me! I loved the part about handling self-mockery or self-injury. I am facing the possibility of mistakes in a whole new light. And you gave me the light to illuminate anything unlike good.

- 11/14/2011Thank you, Norm, for this simple, plain and complete truth to start my week! As an elementary school teacher, I have found that having my students orally repeat a rule or fact, not only gets their attention, but helps them to remember it. Norm, you got my attention this morning and I will remember that "there is no room for error"! My gratitude to Nate and the Daily Lift team, to all the lecturers and to the Daily Lift community is overflowing.
Jean
- 11/14/2011Thank you so much for your beautiful message. I tune into Daily Lift each afternoon and its always like hitting my "refresh" button, like starting the day all over again all new and fresh. No room for anything unlike God, ineed!
J.S.in Kentucky
- 11/14/2011Thank you Norm. Homes have designated areas for sleeping, eating, & more, but none reserved for storing & catching errors. Mal.3:10 says God pours so much blessings out to us, there isn't room to receive all of them. Principle, God wouldn't plan blessings, then make room for an enemy to intercept and punish us because we didn't receive them. Jer23:24 tells us more, that God fills heaven & earth.God, Truth, is All-in-all, and has no error for Himself, or for us, His ideas. If He did, He wouldn't have sent Jesus to undo His work by attempting to extract errors. If God wanted anyone afflicted with error for sinning, then for us to obey Christ Jesus, we and doctors would with prayer or medicines, be working against God's intentions for whomever is ill or troubled. Jesus didn't say anyone would have to put up with an error for awhile longer, because they deserved it. He wiped out errors. They vanished! Because Christian Science reveals we're not matter, but are spiritual ideas of divine Mind, there is no material spot where error can exist in reality. Mrs. Eddy's poem, in CS Hymns # 298-302, tells us Love makes radiant room for us, midst glories of endless day. We keep useful and needed objects handy in homes. Bible stories & verses, S&H citations, hymns, and testimonies stored in thought, are like clocks, calendars, tools, keys, mirrors, windows, and door knobs to alert us, keep us oriented, and to open a forward path to and through truth. #36 Danis, Thanks for poem.

- 11/15/2011Thank you Norm for that simple, clear and very precise message.

Diane
- 11/15/2011I have recently been alerted to the need to be diligent in what I claim for myself and others. I am working on , not going for the "joke" or accommodating any adjustment to the spiritual fact. This message fits right in with that goal. If a mathematician made room for error we wouldn't trust his answers. We are only interested in right answers if we want to be successful scientists. Thanks Norm, and everyone else.

- 11/15/2011What a delightful, freeing way to head into the day - with no thought of deviation, distraction, impairment, confusion, sleepiness or inaccuracy in any activity. Just correct, mistake-free steps! It certainly uplifts the standard to an expectancy of high quality performance in whatever activity we are engaged in this day and every day. Thank you, Norm, to the BoL, the Daily Lift team, and the world-wide commenters.
