Solomononic Observation

“There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto.
And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself.”

Virginia Woolf

As in ECCLESIASTES 1:18,

Ram Pump

“One possible solution to providing livestock drinking water in remote locations is the hydraulic ram pump.”

HOMEMADE HYDRAULIC RAM PUMP FOR LIVESTOCK WATER

One of the more challenging aspects of developing pasture and grazing land is providing access to a reliable water supply for livestock. In some cases, existing streams, creeks, or ponds provide drinking water for the livestock. When a surface water source is not available, wells can be drilled and pumps installed to provide water for the animals. In some instances, surface water may be available, but not accessible to the livestock due to water quality issues, steep access slopes, or fencing issues.

Providing an electrical power source to such a location for a pump can be cost-prohibitive. Utilizing a pump powered by an internal combustion engine can require inspection and attention several times each day and regular fuel supply runs. Nose pumps and sling pumps may be used effectively in some of these situations, but these pumps will not work if the elevation difference between the water source and grazing area is greater than twenty feet. Solar-powered pumps are an excellent option but can be expensive depending on the flow rate and pressure needs of the system.

Fruit of the Spirit

“Against such there is no law.”

No Law Against Kindness

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 

Against such things there is no law. 
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Galatians 5:22-26

One Man’s Conundrum

“…His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.”

The Face Which Tries to Look at Itself


A man interprets, “doing the Lord’s work,” as living as the example of compassion and unconditional love. The man knows that, “the ultimate answer,” is to love the Lord above everything else.
The man deems the act of loving himself as being the most selfish action a man could possibly undertake. (PROVERBS 16:5) The man, rather, deems that sacrificing himself for the sake of the happiness of others is, “doing the Lord’s work.” The man fails to actively share the love with himself which he yearns to share with others. In order to become the light of God for others, the man must learn to love the one person whom he deems to be most unworthy of such unconditional love!* This man has trained his mind to employ self-sacrifice over self-love. His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.

*The man is unforgivingly judgmental of himself.

Equine Inactive Side of Infinity

the. “Slow Walk”

The Equine Inactive Side of Infinity

Refers to a stagnant mental process.

Infinity expands perpetually from one point in all directions.

Example of a Horse Stuck in the Inactive Side of Infinity:

A horse who slow-walks off of the track with the intention of being near other horses who are acting-up, therefore, giving them an excuse to act-up as well.

The Horse’s Reason for Doing This:

It Is Three-Pronged

The Attractive Dilemma

“Beautiful women do not have to work a day in their life; they simply need to charm a man who makes enough money to keep them both happy.”

Young Women- What They Want

“What is the dilemma with all of these young women being attracted to you?” Charlie asked me.

Lust

“All they want from me is sex, Charlie; … a quick night of passion of animalistic hedonism.”

Charlie smirked at me brightly.

“They are looking for that amazing action which changes their world-view.” I continued. “They are not looking for a husband to commit to or to hold on lonely nights.

What Is Your Problem?

What Is Your Problem?

I guess you could start by asking yourself the question, “What is your definition of who I am supposed to be?”

Let us continue with the root of the dilemma:

We Are Surrounded By Adults Who Think Other Adults Are Authority Figures Over Each Other

The conundrum is that our fellow adults are still inundated by their childish and immature thought processes which guide their actions. Like a Christian yelling at the world to, “Repent!” I find myself screaming on the street corner, wearing a sandwich-board sign that says, “The End Is Near!” … telling my fellow man that we are all doomed to suffering and failure if we all do not collectively change our ways!


Society seems leery and scared of me. It is as if, if I genuinely be myself, people would look at me like I was dangerous and crazy.

The fact of the matter is that they are scared of their own realization of failure, that they purposely and actively deplete the value of their fellow man in order to maintain a dysfunctional status quo, therefore, lowering the worldly standard, making it easier to live at whatever quality of life they deem to be satisfactory.

Mid-Life Change

I used to scribe allegories all the time. In fact, I view human interaction in an allegorical sense. This inspired creative neurons to establish pathways throughout my brain. I wrote a lot of poetry and philosophical work.

I viewed the world as an artist does and interacted with it in an, “eccentric,” way.

The Choice

It Is A Choice.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 

And over all these virtues put on love,which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

COLOSSIANS 3:12-17

Teaching Our Children to Lie & How To Grow Up To Become Stupid :

By Chip Van Hassel,

Lonesome Glory Publications

June, 2024

From Santa Clause to the Easter Bunny to the Tooth Fairy, our parents told us Lies while we were children.

After that, we are expected to teach those same lies to the next generation of children when we become adults.


Society indoctrinates us to believe lies, then, after seeing the truth, to perpetuate those lies, thus, engraining into society that lying is good and correct and done for good reason. Therefore, doing what is wrong is expected of us; and being truthful is not accepted in society but, rather, shunned.

Lazy People

Lazy People In The Workplace

When dealing with people, (they are like zebras never changing their stripes,) evil doers will never switch-over to the side of good.

When forced to interact with selfish people, you are tested of your kindness, patience and self-preservation.

Develop your ability to adapt and change, so you do not fall in to their trap of acting the ways in which they do.

Light of the World

Light a Lamp

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

MATTHEW 5:14-16

Bread and Love

Manna

“Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that prodeedeth out of the mouth of God;”

MATTHEW 4:4

The Church is our Christian Family; however, The Temple– the structure of worship- is your body!

The Temple is not a stone building, but worship- True Worship,

True Love emits from the center of the Temple’s heart.

Two pillars of the church are Strength and Beauty. A third pillar of the church is Wisdom.

A strong Christian sees God’s beauty in all things and practices mercy even with those who do wrong. After all, it is God’s duty to punish; and we are forbidden from punishing others.

Sonship

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”

ROMANS 8:14-17

What is Love?

Defining Love

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8

Paul’s words

Paul tells us:

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take holdof that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 3:12-14

Perfection in Thought

Eternal Judgement

“Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elemtary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgement.”

HEBREWS 6:1-2

Happy New Year

Keep From Idols

Dear Children, keep yourselves from idols!

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true.

And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

1 JOHN 5:19-21

Listening but not Doing

As it says in the book of JAMES:

“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it- not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it- they will be blessed in what they do.”

JAMES 1:23-25

Eye for Evil

“The ruthless will vanish,
the mockers will disappear,
And all who have an eye for evil will be cut down…”
-ISAIAH 29:20

“As when a hungry person dreams of eating, but awakens hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
but awakens fading and thirsty still.
So will it be with the hoarders of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.”

ISAIAH 29:8

Seven Deadly Sins

It says in the book of PROVERBS:

“There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:

1. haughty eyes,

2. a lying tongue,

3. hands that shed innocent blood,

4. a heart that devises wicked schemes,

5. feet that are quick to rush into evil,

6. a false witness who pours out lies

7. and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

The Poor, The Wealthy, Eyes of the Law

“Love your neighbor as yourself, …”

Poor and Wealthy

“Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?

Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”

JAMES 2:5-10

Query

God’s Dream for You

“How would you describe the current dream(s) God has put in your heart?”

Pastor Jay Hurley

“How are your dreams (which) you are pursuing helping to reach God’s plan for eternity?”

Pastor Jay Hurley

1. Focus on God’s purpose.

2. Focus on God’s perspective.

3. Focus on God’s plan.

4. Focus on God’s prize.

5. Choose one Chair.

Moving On

When you forget your past, you drop your old cross.

Jesus then said to his disciples,
“If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself: and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

For what shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, if he lose his own soul? or what shall a man give for recompense of his soul?”

MATTHEW 16:24-26

The Battle

Governors and Judges are the Princes of Darkness of this World

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.”

Our Duty

It says in Leviticus:

“If any one sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify and though he is a witness, whether he has seen or come to know the matter, yet does not speak, he shall bear his iniquity.”

LEVITICUS 5:1

Two Kinds of Wisdom

Wise Being

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.

Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”

JAMES 3:13-18

Sanctuary in Your Heart

Build the Temple Within

“He said to them, “Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not granted you rest on every side? 

For he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hands, and the land is subject to the Lord and to his people. 

Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God. 

Begin to build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the Lord.”

1 CHRONICLES 22:18-19

Full Armor of God

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,

against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

EPHESIANS 6:12-17

Speak the Word

Feet Which Bring Good News

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?

And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?

And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”

ROMANS 10:14-17

His Authority

I am with you always.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.””

MATTHEW 28:18-20

Rid of Arrogance

Power, not Talk

“Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
But I will come to you very soon, … and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
What do you prefer? Shall I came to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?”

1 CORINTHIANS 4:18

Neighbor’s Wife

“So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;

no one who touches her will go unpunished.

People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.

Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.

But a man who commits adultery has no sense;
whoever does so destroys himself.
Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never be wiped away.

For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

He will not accept any compensation;
he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.”

PROVERBS 6:29-35

Pack of Wolves

The last one is the boss

“A pack of wolves,

The three in front are old and weak, they walk forward to adjust the pace of the group in case of a race, so they don’t fall behind them.

The next five are the strongest and the most robust, they have the task of protecting the front in case of attack.

The group in the middle is always protected against any attack.

The five behind them are also among the strongest and the best; they are in charge of protecting the rear in case of attack.

The last one is the boss.

Making sure no one is left behind. Keeps the package united and on the same path. He’s always ready to run in any direction to protect and serve as “Bodyguard” to the whole group.

Just in case anyone wanted to know what being a leader really means.

It’s not about being ahead. It means taking care of the team!”

Admonishment of Idlenness

Warning Against Idleness

“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us.
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.
And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them,in order that they may feel ashamed. 15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-14

A Parable

“But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.”

Shake with one hand; eat with both.

“He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.

Leave them; they are blind guides.[a] If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”

“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?

But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Matthew 15:13-20

The Struggle

The True Struggle

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

but against the rulers, against the authorities,

against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

EPHESIANS 6:12-13

Sew Faith Deeply

The farmer sows the word.

Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown.

As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.”

MARK 4:13-17

Good and Bad Fruit

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

By their fruit you will recognize them.

Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

PSALM of David

“Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.”

PSALM 15

Pass Through Darkness

“…the only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve…”

“All is good and well and right; and shall be so forever.
Through the eternal ages the light of God’s beneficence shall shine hereafter,
disclosing all,
consummating all,
rewarding all that deserve reward.
Then we shall see, what now we can only believe.
The cloud will be lifted up,
the gate of mystery be passed,
and the full light shine forever;
the light of which that of the Lodge is a symbol.

Then that which caused us trial shall yield us triumph;
and that which made our heart ache
shall fill us with gladness;
and we shall then feel that there,
as here,
the only true happiness is to learn,
to advance,
and to improve;
which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.”

“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

ROMANS 12:19-21

RE: Case #O33B46A22Z-24

As a former Jockeys Guild member and journalist, I am dedicated to the integrity of our sport.

On or about February 2, 2024 at Tampa Bay Downs, (located at 11225 Race Track Rd N Tampa, FL 33626 United States), a thoroughbred horse owner informed me that he politely asked two men who were wearing the FGCC insignia on their shirts who they were. 

The above mentioned owner informed me that the two men laughed at him “smugly,” then, walked away.

A Leveled-Up Experience

There are moments when an athlete experiences this:

Not “Doing” it:

watching it all happen as

(Like watching a movie)

… not doing it,

but watching your body do it

and learning from it.

Children of God

Spirit does not make us slaves.

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”

Good Morning Everyone. My topic is Abundant Life. In John 10:10, Jesus said,

Your Converstion is Always with God

Your Conversation is always with God:

“Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written:
“So that you may be proved right when you speak
    and prevail when you judge.””

Charmed Life

“…There is a secret in the simplest things, a wonder in the plainest, a charm in the dullest. …”

The Inspired

“We all vaguely deem it to be so; but he only lives a charmed life, like that of genius and poetic inspiration, who communes with the spiritual scene around him, hears the voice of the spirit in every sound, sees its signs in every passing form of things, and feels its impulse in all action, passion, and being.

Very near to us lies the mines of wisdom; unsuspected they lie all around us. There is a secret In the simplest things, a wonder in the plainest, a charm in the dullest.”

Humanity’s Problem

“A human heart throbs beneath the beggar’s gabardine; and that and no more stirs with its beating the Prince’s mantle. “

Treasures

“The great problem of Humanity is wrought out in the humblest abodes; no more than this is done in the highest.

A human heart throbs beneath the beggar’s gabardine; and that and no more stirs with its beating the Prince’s mantle.

The beauty of Love, the charm of friendship, the sacredness of Sorrow, the heroism of Patience, the noble Self-sacrifice, these and their like, alone, make life to be life indeed, and are its grandeur and its power.

They are the priceless treasures and glory of humanity; and they are not things of condition. All places and all scenes are alike clothed with the grandeur and charm of virtues such as these.”

A Note To Young Masons:

Displaying Hand-signs learned within The Lodge is weakening the Craft!
Our Cable Tow is getting tighter because of you;
Stop it!
-“The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.”​ JOB 38:15-

Stop Flashing Masonic Hand Signs.

Stop flashing the sign in photos and in public, because doing so weakens the Craft, exposes the Craft and creates disharmony among those who are aware that there is a big club which they are not allowed in to. Those who are flashing the sign are, indeed, those of lower degree. If a master Mason is known to keep secrets, those who publicly display the secrets are not True Freemasons; they are only masons.

“The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.”

Warning Against Adultery

My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words of insight,

and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.

and find the knowledge of God.

Resenting the Master

Revere The Teacher With Compassion.

A Short Article For Flourishing Students:

If there comes a time when you resent your teacher, you have become your own teacher; and you must relinquish your expectations of such former teacher.

Resentment is the product of contempt and the ego; both of which are cataclysms. 

After contempt for a teaching ha been acknowledged, the ego presents itself. Regardless of the validity of the ego’s claim, the added contempt limits your judgement, creating learning barriers.

Quote

“…we may restrain our passions, subdue our hearts to gentleness and patience, …”

“… the Book of Great Account…”

“The million occasions will come to us all, in the ordinary paths of our life, in our homes, and by our firesides, wherein we may act as nobly, as if, all our life long, we led armies, sat in senates, or visited beds of sickness and pain. Varying every hour, the million occasions will come in which we may restrain our passions, subdue our hearts to gentleness and patience, resign our own interest for another’s advantage, speak words of kindness and wisdom, raise the fallen, cheer the fainting and sick in spirit, and soften and assuage the weariness and bitterness of their mortal lot. To every Mason there will be opportunity enough for these. They cannot be written on his tomb; but they will be written deep in the hearts of men, of friends, of children, of kindred all around him, in the book of the great account, and, in their eternal influences, on the great pages of the Universe.”

Be Slow To Be Angry

Anger does not produce the righteousness which God desires.

When you close your Bible without application, you are not doing the inner work required to dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“When we are fast to anger, we are misinterpreting what the Kingdom of God stands for.”

R. Cecil

Being Tested or Tempted?

“There is a vast difference between being tempted and being tested.”

Recognize the Difference Between being Tempted or being Tested.

“You’ve got to respond properly to temptation.”

“When you praise him in the physical, it releases angels on our behalf.”

“There is a vast difference between being tempted and being tested.”

Comfort is Not Home-Base

“… Also we know that all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his purpose.

For those which he knew before, he also predestinated to be made like to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover, whom he predestinated, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

ROMANS 8:28-30

Lift Up Your Hands

“What you do with your physical body releases the angels or withdraws the angels.”

Pastor Richard Cecil

“Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”

Posture

What you do with your physical body and posture grants communication with God.

To Be Victorious In Spirit:

Comfort Yourself, First.

“As long as you obey with your physical body, you will be victorious in the spiritual world.”

“A little leaven doth leaven the whole lump.”

GALATIANS 5:9

Our posture is important to God.”

Pastor Richard Cecil

But when you pray,
go into your room,
close the door and pray to your Father,
who is unseen.
Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you.
And when you pray,
do not keep on babbling like pagans,
for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them,
for your Father knows what you need
before you ask him.”

MATTHEW 6:6-8

From the Hospital Bed:

“A man on his deathbed, raising his hands, (after saying, ‘I surrender all,’ is physically victorious.
His actions, through surrender, (his posture,) granted him the power to express the Greatness of God.”

The “Answer,” one seeks is more simple than the question asked.

As we seek council to acquire clarity amongst our confusion, the only true clarity we find can be described as a love for one’s self.
