102:2.4 Time is an invariable element in the attainment of knowledge; religion makes its endowments immediately available, albeit there is the important factor of growth in grace, definite advancement in all phases of religious experience. Knowledge is an eternal quest; always are you learning, but never are you able to arrive at the full knowledge of absolute truth. In knowledge alone there can never be absolute certainty, only increasing probability of approximation; but the religious soul of spiritual illumination knows, and knows now.And yet this profound and positive certitude does not lead such a sound-minded religionist to take any less interest in the ups and downs of the progress of human wisdom, which is bound up on its material end with the developments of slow-moving science.

Our Quest

A calmer day before the storm.

The snow that’s coming starts to form.

It will snow and blow in waves,

But it won’t come for another day.

We have time to be prepared

And estimates have been declared

Of what the storm will bring to us.

We know it’s winds will be robust.

The snow and wind come with the cold.

But we are safe within our folds.

We have built homes weatherproof.

We’re on a quest to find the truth.

We know the weather before it comes.

We do predict where it comes from.

we measure pressures in the air.

We see the changes, were made aware.

Science helps us all predict

Where the snow is going to stick.

We know when roads might get too slick

To safely drive on, we must pick.

Get things done before the storm.

Stay at home when snow does form.

Be prepared to be snowed in.

Relax your soul, relax within.

Thank You, Father, keep us safe

From the storm winds of our fate.

Help us find good things to do.

Help us on our quest for Truth.

Always note that we are here to spread love, peace and unity not hatred

12:7.12 It is a mystery that God is a highly personal self-conscious being with residential headquarters, and at the same time personally present in such a vast universe and personally in contact with such a well-nigh infinite number of beings. That such a phenomenon is a mystery beyond human comprehension should not in the least lessen your faith. Do not allow the magnitude of the infinity, the immensity of the eternity, and the grandeur and glory of the matchless character of God to overawe, stagger, or discourage you; for the Father is not very far from any one of you; he dwells within you, and in him do we all literally move, actually live, and veritably have our being.

Life Within

It’s cold but bright, the sun is out.

The sky is blue upon my route.

An active day with lots to do.

Spread the love that comes from You.

If every day we spread some Love,

In the long run we’ll evolve.

Love is catching more than hate.

Love’s a wildfire, we’re just late.

Let Love rule the things we do.

All ahead, comes right through you.

Let Love hammer up your Truth.

This Spirit of God can introduce.

Look for God within your soul.

The Kingdom within you’ll behold.

Increasingly you’ll see what’s real.

God is the way; His way does heal.

Find the best way up ahead.

Look inside, you will be led.

Behold the Truth lies deep within

And knows the way we all have been.

It knows your secrets you don’t share.

Forgiveness springs as you’re aware.

To change the way you see the world,

The flag within your soul unfurls.

Thank You, Father, You’ve unleashed

A soul within that strives for peace.

Peace within yields peace without.

A life within turns me about.

111:7.1 Uncertainty with security is the essence of the Paradise adventure – uncertainty in time and in mind, uncertainty as to the events of the unfolding Paradise ascent; security in spirit and in eternity, security in the unqualified trust of the creature son in the divine compassion and infinite love of the Universal Father; uncertainty as an inexperienced citizen of the universe; security as an ascending son in the universe mansions of an all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving Father.

This Year I Cheer

A blanket white does greet the morn.

A crown of white upon the corn.

Finally snow that we can see.

It glistens white upon the trees.

It wasn’t white at Christmas time,

But now the beauty seems Divine.

The white of freshly fallen snow

Paints a picture that does glow.

It shines no matter what the light.

Even with the moon at night.

But as the flow of time goes by

Dust and dirt make whiteness die.

It can become a dirty mess.

For just one day, we’re beauty blessed.

After that the dust and dirt

Truly change the way it looks.

As the Winter goes along

A freeze exists upon our lawns.

Where the ground does freeze the dirt,

It stays in place and cannot flirt.

As long as ground stays truly frozen,

It can’t make a white intrusion.

A mess occurs though, when it melts.

A muddy mess is what we’re dealt.

Thank You, Father, Winter’s here.

There’s beauty here that I hold dear.

It’s truly been a warmer year.

We will adapt, this year I cheer.

13:4.5 The determiner of the differential of spiritual presence exists in your own hearts and minds and consists in the manner of your own choosing, in the decisions of your minds, and in the determination of your own wills. This differential is inherent in the freewill reactions of intelligent personal beings, beings whom the Universal Father has ordained shall exercise this liberty of choosing. And the Deities are ever true to the ebb and flow of their spirits in meeting and satisfying the conditions and demands of this differential of creature choice, now bestowing more of their presence in response to a sincere desire for the same and again withdrawing themselves from the scene as their creatures decide adversely in the exercise of their divinely bestowed freedom of choice. And thus does the spirit of divinity become humbly obedient to the choosing of the creatures of the realms.

Decide To Live

The weekend’s here and it may snow.

But it won’t stick, the winds won’t blow.

The temp is on the cusp of freeze.

A damp cold rain is what will be.

But if the snow falls from the sky

It won’t change what I do try.

I’ll find ways to get to where

I need to go, yes, I’ll be there.

To go in winter is well known.

Throughout my life the snow has blown.

Caution when the road is slick

Keeps us going, though snow is thick.

Through the drifts of snow in Life

One needs to shovel as they drive.

We need to use the tools we have.

Our trials through life are not that bad.

Faith within yourself works best.

Within yourself there’s Holiness.

Something lives within your soul.

Let it lead you to your goal.

A Spirit life is what we need.

We need more love and far less greed.

Cutting down what others do

Is not a skill that leads to Truth.

Thank You, Father, for teaching me

How to look inside for Ye.

The Spirit moves for my decision.

I must decide, to live’s a passion.

Psalms 33:10-11, NKJV.

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.

May all the plans of the nations and people against us come to nothing in this year and others to come. For many are the wicked plans some nations and people are busy laying down against us but our God is watching over us and He will bring them to no effect in Jesus' name.

Have a blessed weekend as you and me always seek the counsel and guidance of the almighty God in everything we do. For God has good plans for us and our children from generation to generation and He will make His plans come true for us in Jesus' name. Have a blessed Friday.

3:5.10 5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.

Love Your Life

Confusion as the day does start.

Blocked one way, I must restart.

Explore a different goal direction.

Time must pass to have reflection.

Patience also rears its head.

A must to learn, that’s how we’re led.

Thinking calmly as time flows

Helps the day and how it goes.

Things will get done in God’s way.

We’ll evolve in how we play.

Learning love in more and more facets.

We analyze with all our gadgets.

Learning from an AI bot

Truly can be used a lot.

But also learning from a book

Is certainly worth the time it took.

Learning how to live a life.

Learning while we’re still alive.

To challenge self to further ventures.

Love leads to increasing splendors.

Never lose what Faith you have.

Believe in Truth and don’t get mad.

God’s within your love of Truth.

Let Him lead you by that route.

Thank You, Father, deep within.

The book you wrote is sinking in.

Love’s the answer, if sincere.

Love the things that you do here!

155:5.11 The religion of the spirit means effort, struggle, conflict, faith, determination, love, loyalty, and progress. The religion of the mind – the theology of authority – requires little or none of these exertions from its formal believers. Tradition is a safe refuge and an easy path for those fearful and halfhearted souls who instinctively shun the spirit struggles and mental uncertainties associated with those faith voyages of daring adventure out upon the high seas of unexplored truth in search for the farther shores of spiritual realities as they may be discovered by the progressive human mind and experienced by the evolving human soul

Evolving
Another winter day on tap.
Further south the Summer raps!
The day exists both North and South.
But different climes swing back and forth.

Now it’s Winter in the North.
The pole that’s furthest from the source.
But as the world goes around the sun,
The poles do shift as orbit’s swung.

The tilt, the axis of the earth
Is what seasonally gives birth
To the different climes that change.
That’s how our seasons are arranged.

We have a Spirit axis too.
It’s a force inside of you.
It always tilts in the direction
That will lead you to perfection.

Trust and Faith in what’s within.
In that way your search begins.
Increasing Trust leads to more Faith.
Which leads to your increasing Grace.

Graceful in the ways of love
Begins when clumsiness evolves
In our ways, which then must change.
Different ways always seem strange.

Thank you, Father, that’s our challenge.
More Grace can always be imagined.
Then to do what we can see.
That’s the path to victory.

69:3.3 All down through the ages the taboos have operated to keep woman strictly in her own field. Man has most selfishly chosen the more agreeable work, leaving the routine drudgery to woman. Man has always been ashamed to do woman’s work, but woman has never shown any reluctance to doing man’s work. But strange to record, both men and women have always worked together in building and furnishing the home.

A Bit More

Hazy skies are gray not blue.

The filtered light we see comes through.

Without the moisture skies are blue.

Moisture is gray, that’s what’s true.

Tears and water, much the same.

Providing moisture to the game.

Tears of love and tears of joy

Help us solve how love’s employed.

The path of love is what’s ahead.

Faith, we need, to take that step.

Courage is but faith on trial.

A habit that becomes your style.

Advancing in the ways of love

A way where there is ne’er enough.

At least on this world, in this setting.

We need every ounce we’re getting.

Love just a bit more, if you can.

Love will help you understand

Important things in life remain.

Do those things, go with the grain.

Help the tide of love role in.

Open gates you find within.

Let love wash and clean your Spirit.

Let it be the way you dream it!

Thank You, Father, Love promotes

A beauty in how You invoke

The Truth within our lives and being.

We’re helped more when we are giving.
