It’s interesting that when something unfortunate orContinue reading “For a reason…”
Letter to a friend
How fleeting happiness is in the world. We seek it constantly through others who let us down, through material with luster that dimmers soon after acquiring, or substances that are the ticket to a rollercoaster of emotions. I went through it all and tried it all with the hopes that the feeling of fulfillment wouldContinue reading “Letter to a friend”

The second verse starts off with two rhetorical questions: “But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth?”. These two are asked to enforce the notion like in Psalms: “Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no,Continue reading “Malachi 3:2-5”

Praising
What could you do more of? Gratefulness is a powerful force that can clear a storm. The mindset of being grateful is empowering to focus one’s mind, gain energy, and give clarity to decisions. However, where is the thanks given? It distressed me today when I looked back at the last year and a half.Continue reading “Praising”
