As human mortals, we often negotiate with God to persuade Him to condone our self-gratification. Many people have an “anything goes” mentality in a vain attempt to ignore God’s laws. Until we surrender everything to God, Karma (the cosmic law of cause and effect) will continue to bring us disappointment.
In addition to the reading from The URANTIA BOOK, Paper 84 § 8: Dangers of Self-Gratification, Van of Urantia uses other materials to punctuate his teaching.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
