"People are generally as happy as they choose to be, regardless of external circumstances." - Katheliyer

Eternity has many glorious vistas...but only one door, by way of Christ.
|
Once you take an oath of office you can no longer feign ignorance, have concerns that are not across the board, and your personal opinion becomes an afterthought.
|
Free Will. It means that we not only can make choices, but we also control alternative variables unlimited. Though we have individualized souls we are part of Universal Consciousness. What affects one affects all. We create our own physical and mental reality. Time we stop abusing God's miracle gift to humanity.

It's fascinating how cultures vary. Dogs are pets in Western countries; dogs are food in China.
|
Poetry is Truth -- and truth connects time and space. If it was true for Plato, it was also true for Shakespeare, and is therefore true for the modern poet. Which, insistently, works the same in the converse. The modern poet does not need new language and form (gimmicks)...what he or she needs is to often revisit man's relationship with omnipotence.
|
Being faithful to Christ, does not guarantee protection from crucifixion...but it does guarantee eternal life.
|
Best for the heart to hibernate sometimes -- return fresh for a new growth season.
|
True silence is the architect of character, for it is in the absence of external validation that we finally meet the person we are when no one is watching.
|
Free will has to be governed by a supreme will else there is chaos.
|
Love is the gate to eternity.
|
I believe nothing I hear from government, news outlets, ministers. God posts to my heart daily, all I need of truth.

"Greed is like a bag of popcorn — when you try to pop every kernel, you end up burning them all. In the end, when everything is lost, nobody's left to help you."
— Neo Lechwenyo

Just my opinion, years of analysis...but God Alone will decide when prayer is enough for His immediate intervention. In most cases, He has given us the power, right and duty to self govern (that is Free Will). With that in mind, most prayer without the sacrifice of personal action will not accomplish a desired goal. Unfortunately/fortunately that has created human devils and saints.

You emerge from the common run of humanity and occupy an eternal part of my heaven.
|
You have become eternity, the measureless shore of my undiscovered country.
|
Warfare is the malignant use of directed energy. Inter-stellar warfare favors the defense, because an intrenched inhabitant has an enormous energy advantage over an approaching invader. So inter-stellar government will probably be federation or feudalism.
|
“Amid the pyres of the tonsured, I tend the teeth of unbending truth;
and the soul, stirred by such immutable witness, trembles awake to that which abides eternal.”
|
"The poet reveals that sufficiency alone governs the secret music of being, immutable, unborrowed, and beyond envy or measure."
|
We should not consider poetry as an alternative to thinking, we should consider poetry as a way of thinking.
|
For love is the battle that will forever be fought but will never truly be won. Love will always burn the flames that ever so stretch the length of eternity
|
I write in the Chiaroscuro between tenderness and truth, following the glow that rises where shadow meets light. My voice lives in that threshold, where sweetness deepens into ache and honesty becomes its own kind of illumination.
|
Republicans are good at criticism, but lousy at governing.
|
In government it's a lot less stressful to own it than it is to deny it.
|
Nothing physical remains with time. Only the good we publish spiritually are recorded in the annals of eternity.
|
Our universe is not only very well represented by mathematics, it may be mathematics. The final theory of physics can rely on no external assumptions. Only mathematics requires no predecessors.
|
The first rule of governing is self governing.
|
If foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, devious inconsistency must surely be the pernicious gremlin of foolish minds.
|
Jesus is the Creator. Not the Government or Man.
|
Threshold sealed till recognition dawns."
"In formal realms, rank and silence govern."
"Preserve the inner radiance-favor the shadow's edge."
