44:7.3 Cosmic concepts of true philosophy, the portrayal of celestial artistry, or the mortal attempt to depict the human recognition of divine beauty can never be truly satisfying if such attempted creature progression is ununified. These expressions of the divine urge within the evolving creature may be intellectually true, emotionally beautiful, and spiritually good; but the real soul of expression is absent unless these realities of truth, meanings of beauty, and values of goodness are unified in the life experience of the artisan, the scientist, or the philosopher.

Life’s Beauty

Beauty as the day begins.

The morning smells of what has been.

We pick up where we left off.

Much to do, life is hard fought.

No need to worry, if we just do

The things in front of us we need to.

Things work out no matter what.

Time continues, there’s no bumps.

Time is never e’er disturbed.

A steady rhythm, never curbed.

We’re taught no time in Paradise.

Time perfection must be nice.

But in this finite universe

Time exists and is observed.

We measure time with frequencies.

Atomic watches – consistency.

We measure time as it goes by.

It is one way, can’t be defied.

We can’t go back and then repeat.

We must go on through all defeat.

I hear the wind chimes as they ring.

A windy day to us You bring.

The winds of time also have chimes.

Listen to your life’s design.

Thank You, Father, as time goes on

My faith increases, I’m your son.

Just a pebble on the beach

A grain of sand, but in Your reach.

5:1.6 If mortal man is wholeheartedly spiritually motivated, unreservedly consecrated to the doing of the Father’s will, then, since he is so certainly and so effectively spiritually endowed by the indwelling and divine Adjuster, there cannot fail to materialize in that individual’s experience the sublime consciousness of knowing God and the supernal assurance of surviving for the purpose of finding God by the progressive experience of becoming more and more like him.

Becoming

The beauty continues on today.

The sun is out and on display.

No moon occludes it, now, for years.

Experience in this life, hold dear.

We’re on the trip of life today.

Many, many, minds at play.

Everybody wants their way.

With God, we all dance our ballet.

If you’re aware, or if you’re not

God’s in charge, so throw your lot

In with Him, the Lord of all.

Look inside and hear His call.

The inner life is where God lives.

Join Him there, He is your gift.

A chip off of eternity.

He reveals true destiny.

Your happiness depends on you

And all the things you try to do.

Success when wills do coincide.

You become as you decide.

That’s the map of mystery.

It has threads through history.

We chart courses through its maze.

A trip with God, colors all the grays.

Thank You, Father, I am on board.

The TB&G goes through Your door.

As we decide, our fate becomes.

Eventually Your Will becomes.

121:7.2 The teachings and practices of Jesus regarding tolerance and kindness ran counter to the long-standing attitude of the Jews toward other peoples whom they considered heathen. For generations the Jews had nourished an attitude toward the outside world which made it impossible for them to accept the Master’s teachings about the spiritual brotherhood of man. They were unwilling to share Yahweh on equal terms with the gentiles and were likewise unwilling to accept as the Son of God one who taught such new and strange doctrines.

Be Kind

The sun is out, we’ll hit 50.

The day before us is nifty.

There’s always much that can be done

Before the setting of the sun.

What to do on this fine day?

Too muddy for groundwork today.

But temps are nice, we can enjoy

Fresh air, with windows we employ.

Open up the house today.

Screens keep bugs and flies away.

we get the air, and it feels fresh.

We know this day we’ll find success.

We’re going to plan and then complete

A way to make this day replete.

Balance my activities.

Make life of joy for all to see.

Try to be of help when out.

Take your time and stay about

The Father’s Business on your route.

What e’er comes up, just sing don’t pout.

Stay upon a route that’s kind.

Don’t worry about falling behind.

Do the best in front of you!

And things work out when this you do.

Thank You, Father, for the day.

I’ll do my best to go Your way.

On my route while I’m at play,

Kindness will be on display!

101:7.2 A philosophy of religion evolves out of a basic growth of ideas plus experimental living as both are modified by the tendency to imitate associates. The soundness of philosophic conclusions depends on keen, honest, and discriminating thinking in connection with sensitivity to meanings and accuracy of evaluation. Moral cowards never achieve high planes of philosophic thinking; it requires courage to invade new levels of experience and to attempt the exploration of unknown realms of intellectual living.

Evolve

Still, it’s cold, but there’s no snow.

I’m rested well and on the go.

The day is young with much to do.

I need to always follow through.

There are things I need to do for self –

Errands for self maintenance elves.

They’re on the agenda for today.

Nothing boring in this fray.

Washing, shopping, should be done.

But I can live without ere one.

I could just sit the day away,

But sooner or later I would pay.

Lots to watch on the TV.

March madness takes much time from me.

YouTube is the way to go

To see how to do what you didn’t know.

Time savings when your search is right.

Learning helps to spread the light.

We benefit from experienced users

Who share their knowledge with YouTubers.

Current videos can’t be matched

Except when live TV’s dispatched

The timeliness of what’s depicted

Holds our interests, we’re addicted.

Father, thank You, tech is great.

The world I see, could be first rate.

If all agreed there’s but one God

And then know we all need evolve.

Paul Anderson

5:4.8 The Greek religion had a watchword “Know yourself”; the Hebrews centered their teaching on “Know your God”; the Christians preach a gospel aimed at a “knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ”; Jesus proclaimed the good news of “knowing God, and yourself as a son of God.” These differing concepts of the purpose of religion determine the individual’s attitude in various life situations and foreshadow the depth of worship and the nature of his personal habits of prayer. The spiritual status of any religion may be determined by the nature of its prayers.

Attitude

Another warm-like winter day.

The sun’s not out, the sky is gray.

It will come out though, later on.

We’ll see the sun ‘fore day is gone.

I anticipate that what’s best

For all concerned occurs, no less.

God’s the outcome that’s achieved.

He rules our hearts when we believe.

As I walk upon this earth—

This speck of dust in the universe—

I can see how love can rule.

But most think these are words of fools.

Time it takes, and that is all.

As we evolve, there’s “where with all.”

We learn the methods that work best.

Our future’s laid then, more or less.

What that will be, adventure fills.

A voyage on Star Trek, if You will.

We get to know You better each day.

Life improves, we find Your way.

What is the use of just one day

Unless you fly in Godly ways?

A forward slide, the inner path.

Find a way to make God laugh.

Thank You, Father, for Your Love.

You shine a light that helps us solve

Problems that are so complex.

Without Your love, my life’s wreck.

100:7.7 Of Jesus it was truly said, “He trusted God.” As a man among men he most sublimely trusted the Father in heaven. He trusted his Father as a little child trusts his earthly parent. His faith was perfect but never presumptuous. No matter how cruel nature might appear to beor how indifferent to man’s welfare on earth, Jesus never faltered in his faith. He was immune to disappointment and impervious to persecution. He was untouched by apparent failure.

To Be or Not.

Winter warmth has come to pass.

It’s like Spring’s coming way too fast.

This should be the dead of Winter.

Yet it’s Spring like with the weather.

Today will be up in the 50’s.

The plants should know to grow is risky.

The cold will come back ‘fore it’s Spring!

Be prepared for what it brings.

But today it’s really nice.

There’s no snow or frozen ice.

Muddy, muddy, must be careful!

Use sidewalks or a mud disaster.

We use paved roads on which to drive.

The world we live in truly thrives.

We live above the mud and grime.

We improve through eons of time.

But in someways, I predict

Powerful others will inflict

Not the will of God, but theirs

On to others, increasing fears.

We need a leader who inside

Feels God’s will and then abides.

Unbelievers step aside.

I’m not sure what they contrive.

Thank You, Father, things will be

The way time flows – reality.

We can help or we can hinder.

Be a force, don’t just meander.

100:4.3 But the great problem of religious living consists in the task of unifying the soul powers of the personality by the dominance of LOVE. Health, mental efficiency, and happiness arise from the unification of physical systems, mind systems, and spirit systems. Of health and sanity man understands much, but of happiness he has truly realized very little. The highest happiness is indissolubly linked with spiritual progress. Spiritual growth yields lasting joy, peace which passes all understanding.

Peace

A much more clearer day to start.

Still the clouds do not depart.

A warmer day – predicted 50’s.

Clouds retain the warmth, so nifty.

To always wake up to God’s plan

Is an attitude in demand.

Open your eyes to morning light

And see His Hands with pure delight.

He’s determined what you see

And He promotes a mystery.

One must think to understand.

Then Faith takes charge, it makes a stand.

Faith provides all that life lacks.

It helps you build your soul's impact.

You become as you do act.

God knows you best, and that’s a fact!

In life, you should do what you love.

A natural skill will then evolve.

You will get better every day.

Life becomes a joy that way.

For all of us to love each other

To know each other as our brother

Is truly easier than you think.

This world is quivering on the brink.

Thank You, Father, we exist

Because Your Will is what exists.

I give thanks, You help us choose

In a life that wins, we learn to lose.

101:10.9 Now, rather, are the sons of God enlisted together in fighting the battle of reality’s triumph over the partial shadows of existence. At last all creatures become conscious of the fact that God and all the divine hosts of a well-nigh limitless universe are on their side in the supernal struggle to attain eternity of life and divinity of status. Such faith-liberated sons have certainly enlisted in the struggles of time on the side of the supreme forces and divine personalities of eternity; even the stars in their courses are now doing battle for them; at last they gaze upon the universe from within, from God’s viewpoint, and all is transformed from the uncertainties of material isolation to the sureties of eternal spiritual progression. Even time itself becomes but the shadow of eternity cast by Paradise realities upon the moving panoply of space.

Life Within
Beauty tinged, this day today.
Fresh air, as I go my way.
I fill my lungs with air so sweet.
My spirit soars, I can’t be beat!

What to do this weekend day?
The sun is out for us to play.
We could wash the car and shop.
Explore and walk until we drop.

In any case, what e’er we do
We’re on a path towards love with You.
Evermore, like You in Spirit.
Evermore, we do receive it.

Receptive of Your Love and Grace.
Someday, it’s said, we’ll see Your face.
Until that day, we do improve.
More like You in the way we move.

A journey set with much surprise.
As we age, it seems time flies.
Time runs out, the body dies.
But what is us, goes on, surprise!

We wake up to life on high.
We have success if we just try.
Finding life with God within.
Every day, New can begin.

Thank You, Father, the day is young.
I know within, where I came from.
You create me and this world
And within Your flag’s unfurled.

79:8.4 The belief in, and worship of, the “One Truth” as taught by Singlangton never entirely died out; but as time passed, the search for new and higher truth became overshadowed by a growing tendency to venerate that which was already established. Slowly the genius of the yellow race became diverted from the pursuit of the unknown to the preservation of the known. And this is the reason for the stagnation of what had been the world’s most rapidly progressing civilization.

Truth Search

We’ll actually see sun today.

Under blue skies, live today.

The 40s will rule all day long.

Frosty nights play winter’s song.

What a February 1!

With winter weather I’m well-versed.

Hardly winter when it’s 40

With Spring not here, we have anarchy.

This weather differs from our past.

But life is short, it goes so fast.

So our perspectives are short too.

We keep records, oh yes we do.

Our records date from long ago,

But ancient records do not show

Temperature numbers in degrees.

We’ve not had long for this to be.

Stories tell us, record events.

We know what happened when time is spent

Looking at the records kept.

What’s been recorded we respect.

History’s written by the winners.

But now what’s written on computers.

Losers write their stories too.

Future sleuths will search for Truth.

Thank You, Father, as we record

Our perspectives do enlarge.

I am sure in years ahead

The Truth will shine where we are led.
