    The Atlantic began to come in; its mighty shoulders underneath the boats lifted—lifted until the derelict had to come. The youth had harnessed infinite energy to his task.

    5B "Apart from me you can do nothing." One of the most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual life is to concentrate on the present moment: "age quod agis", which means do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. Staying connected; to be sustained and ...read more

     | 9,721 views

    Is God bending, shaping, or polishing me right now? What’s my attitude: Am I thanking and praising God, or am I complaining about the process? Trials are intended not to provoke us but to prove us. See the present from the perspective of the future. Look

    By God's grace I want to present the incident that happened between Jonah and God as a dance of two friends.

    Often, when we examine the story of Jonah's initial refusal to follow God's instruction to go and peach to the people of Nineveh, we see a disobedient and selfish servant of God. Yes, this is a fact but, be it as it may, I would like to suggest that we look deeper into the story and view it ...read more
