Where Time Ends and Eternity Begins

Time—The Silent Master of Our Lives

Time, the ultimate master and keeper, is often overlooked, squandered, and easily forgotten. Yet, it is the most valuable resource we possess—the very foundation upon which our existence rests. Without it, we simply cease to be.

Like smoke, we emerge into the world, rising to great heights, forging dreams, and chasing ambitions, only to eventually fade into the ever-moving current of time. It does not pause, it does not wait—it sweeps forward with the force of lightning, leaving behind only memories, lessons, and legacies.

Every moment holds significance, shaping our lives in ways we seldom recognize. Time gifts us opportunities, yet demands wisdom in how we spend it. It teaches patience, urgency, and reflection, reminding us that while we cannot control its passage, we can determine how we use it.

May we not waste time in forgetfulness but honor it with purpose. Let us embrace each fleeting second, cherish its gifts, and ensure that when time carries us forward, we leave behind something meaningful—something that withstands its inevitable tide.

Vegetables

While it is possible to live and enjoy perfect health without  taking the life of any living thing, when we begin the natural diet a very sharp distinction will be noticed.

Our attitude between appetite and hunger will be changed as we find ourselves becoming more temperate and more aware of the ills of overeating as well as eating hurriedly; also we should learn the art of combination of fruits, grains, and vegetables into foods that will sustain life and will not bring disease. 

In adopting the natural diet the change should be made gradually, increasing the number of uncooked while decreasing the cooked food at the same ratio. There is no comparison or doubt that the food which God gave Adam in his sinless state is the best for man's use.

"Racism: Breaking Barriers and Embracing Equality"

Racism: A Persistent and Divisive Issue

Racism is an old problem, yet it remains deeply embedded in society today, manifesting in various forms across cultures and generations. Its influence has been present throughout history, distorting relationships, destroying lives, and tearing communities apart. Far from fostering unity, racism thrives on division, creating barriers where there should be understanding and compassion.

What Is Racism?

At its core, racism is prejudice and discrimination directed against individuals or groups based on race or ethnicity. The dictionary defines prejudice as "an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason." This narrow and harmful mindset leads to unfair treatment, exclusion, and the denial of fundamental human rights.

How To Be Rich In The Things That Matter

Often we  find ourselves chasing after things that are meaningless, things that seem important today only tomorrow comes and they are not so important. As we begin to put first things first, we realize that there are more to life than material gain.  We find that our family, good friends and people are more important than things. Here we see Solomon reminiscing on his life.....


 " I thought in my heart,"come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good."   But that also proved  to  be meaningless.  "Laughter," I said, "is foolish.  And what does pleasure accomplish?"

From the joy of divine communion, Solomon turned to find satisfaction in the pleasure of the sense. How often we too find ourselves chasing after the pleasures of this life only to come up empty with heartaches, sorrow and broken dreams. As he continued we see he did everything possible to gain happiness.....

"I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly - my mind still guiding me with wisdom.  I wanted to see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

I undertook great projects:  I built houses for myself and planted vineyards.  I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.  All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind."

Inspite of Solomon's shortcomings the Lord sought to arouse him to the realization of his wrong actions.

"I hated all these things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.  And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool?  Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun.

So my heart began to despair over.  For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it.

What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors?  All his days and work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest.

A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work.  This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without Him, who can or find enjoyment?  To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom,knowledge and happiness."

Solomon's conscience was quickened and he finally saw his errors at last the discipline of suffering had accomplished its work.

DUTY TO PARENTS

Recently I was browsing through an old book, I found this beautiful reading. Though it was written more than a hundred years ago it is still relevant to us today. I hope you enjoy it as I did.

"We read that Moses did ascend

To Sinai's Mount to take

The ten commandments from God's hand,

And that the mount did shake.

SECRETS REVEALED

"As we contemplate the great things of God's word, we look into a fountain of knowledge, that broadens and deepens; beneath our gaze. Its breadth and depth surpass our knowledge.  As we gaze, the vision widens into an everlasting sea.

As the king's anger burn towards these men his fury wax stronger and stronger.  everywhere there is distress and none to comfort the other.

GOOD THINGS

As I sit here, gazing at the night's starry sky, I ponder on the good things of life, and how we can make beautiful things of our existence. However as we examine the attitude of others we are reminded that although some may be under the impression that their life is the most fascinating thing, we see this is not so.
