Friends,

We all have sadness inside. It could be from a handicapped wife that
you, the husband, are taking care of. Much more could be said by way
of example.

In my case I lost my influence over my family - the wife I was once
married to and my 3
children. That's what happens in divorce.

Moreover, when community is weak in America, as I believe it is,
setting a good example for others counts for less.

Fortunately, I have a strength in diverse philosophy in the way I
think. So, I practice Yoga; I've
studied Iyengar. I was once Nicherin Buddhist; I've studied Zen. I've
studied Tai Chi.
Then again, there is Jesus Christ, George Fox, Elton Trueblood, and
Paul Tillich.

For now, I love music - I am listening now to Ella Fitzgerald sing
"Fascinating Rhythm".
Then again, the Mills Brothers are good with "You always hurt the one
you love".

But if you stop loving, you give up on life.

Best,

Now try actually getting to know Jesus. :)

Hope for a physical kingdom is to deny Christ's words.
He dispelled that idea in Luke 17:20-21 and He never
said, "But later it will be", nor can Jesus be quoted
anywhere in Scripture saying that it will be physical.
Reading other passages that you think say it will be,
is not to refute this statement, but rather, it is to
pit the Bible against itself and an Apostle against
his Lord, since it would be a contradiction!

I would not want to be in that position!

The Bible is the inerrant word of the living God!
If you don't believe the Bible, don't tell me that
you are a Christian. I won't believe you. To make
that claim, is to be a heretic who does not know God.

Like the Bossa Nova, love should swing.
