Life is today!

 

Life is today! Death is yesterday. Tomorrow is hope.

Hope is expectation reinforced by faith.

Faith stands between doubt and certainty.

Without doubt there would be no need for faith.

Without faith, there is no hope, just empty desire.

The Guru guides the lost along the right path.

The word Guru is from the Advaya Taraka Upanishad

The syllable gu means shadows.

The syllable ru, a person who disperses them,

Because of the power to disperse darkness,

The Guru is thus named. My Guru is Jesus Christ.

Above all else expect the unexpected.

The only real constant on earth is change,

And, as the ancients say, "This too shall pass away."

In order to deal with uncertainty we need to maintain

An equilibrium between well being and tradition.

The old ways can be good, or bad, and so too, the new.

The first Rule of Civilization is Peace, the Ethics of which is

Kant's “Categorical Imperative" and the Morality of which

is "Do unto others what you would have them do to you,"

The Golden Rule that Jesus taught His Disciples (Matthew 7:12)

Keep Peace in your heart...always!

Oh my soul...

 Christian spirituality is to love God, and strive to do His will,

And learn to accept His choices without complaining.

Knock on His door in supplication with every beat of your heart.

He may not always give us what we want but He always gives us

What He deems best according to His will and His eternal plan.

The Lord says, "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you

Great and mighty things, which you do not know." (Jeremia 33:3)

Then I heard the Lord say, "Whom shall I send? Who will be

Our messenger?" I answered, "I will go! Send me!" (Isaiah 6:8)

Oh, my soul, perpetual wanderer, companion to my fragile body

Where will you lead me now? Please take me to kingdom come,

God's will be done, to remain there in peace forever.
