In starting this message, I just want you to read the short excerpt at this link about William Booth. I must admit to having a chuckle as I read it! I’m sure each of us have had instances in our experience that highlight the fact that we can all be insensitive at times. The trouble… [Read more…]

“There are worse things than our final departure to the grave. One is the slow strangling death that surely comes to those who try to live by bread alone. For when we live by bread alone, we die by bread alone … Not that we immediately notice it, however. Modern culture is engineered to cover… [Read more…]

We use many expressions of time. We ‘pass’ the time, ‘spend’ time, ‘have not got enough’ time, and perhaps the worst phrase, ‘waste’ or ‘kill’ time. The young person never really looks at the amount of time he has been allotted. True we don’t know how long we will live, but we can be certain… [Read more…]
