Good Sense and Gibberish

What do you know? What do you believe? And where is the line between them?

Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

Family

A happy life comes with the love of a soul-mate and best friend to share experiences, enjoy mutual interests and explore imagination through creativity.

God IS

For many people this statement falls into the category of belief. For me, personal experiences along with a considerable amount of study makes my declaration as close to truth as anything else I might say. Of course, differing concepts about the nature of a divine creator are debated by the most scholoarly theologians of many religions and denominations. For those who practice their belief, such knowledge is a factor in shaping character.

H A T E

Hate is a choice.

And it is a deadly cancer.

Would you choose cancer?

So what do you hate?

And why do you cling to it?

Fantasy vs. Reality

Challenge question: What do you know and what do you believe?

Consider: What do you accept as fantasy yet pursue with the passion of a lifelong dream?

The musings of poets novelists and journalists have merit so far as they offer insight into behavior. The choices we make form the consequences we all suffer.
