For a long time I was going about things rather selfishly. I have my aspirations, goals, dreams, and a desire to please God. In between all my own desires I would try to squeeze in some pleasing sacrifice. Perhaps help out a homeless person on the street. Big plans for a charity project but slow … Read more
I recently ran into a problem with one girl who unfriended me from Facebook and started spreading malicious reports about me because I had not joined her in her hate crusade against one fellow she had become emotionally entangled with.

It’s funny how almost three years ago I received a year-long translation on the subject of the power of positive thinking, then lived on an island for the last year where people are constantly bombarding me with the same message, but somehow could not implement it.

After a while one truly does see how base a creature humans can be when compared to … Read more
