Lent Five "Get up and Walk"

 

Lewis Chessmen

Heathen, n.  A benighted creature who has the folly to worship something that he can see and feel.  

Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1906

There is compelling evidence that humans roamed the earth for may thousands of years before judo-christian religions were invented.  What did human's believe?  What might we hold in common?  Interestingly, only 'this present time' actually exists.  What is happening right now is of infinite significance.  Let us treasure the present moment.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 5

Let your words be few, as you enter a holy place. Come with reverence. Keep your commitments. Don’t think these things are inconsequential. Where there is power there is misuse of power. Those who serve money will always be slaves. Wealth does not equal happiness, Though honest hard work does equal a good night’s sleep. Enjoying what you have, with good health, food and drink; This is the greatest gift from above. People who focus on the good received today. Have no time to brood on the injustice of the past.


PRAYER:  I believe in the meaning you have put in me, and in my people for today.
