Fear for our body - but those who would wish to kill us and our bodies cannot kill our spirit

The body is almost everything to us,

so we fear those who can harm and kill the body, precisely those whom Jesus commands us not to fear.

JCMA_Women - Stillness and Silence Day - Amberley - 28 November 2015

 

Look at a tree, a flower, or a plant.

Let your awareness rest upon it.

How still they are,

how deeply rooted in Being.

Allow nature to teach you stillness.

Eckhart Tolle

A #Sabbath Thinking Piece: all about faith and a teeny weeny mustard seed

The message of the minerals map

Do modern nations give consideration to the birthright, the part of creation, for which they are responsibile.  Looking at the message of this map, the selling of one's birthright for a mess of pottage (Genesis 25: verses 29-34) comes to mind. 

Modern nations need to be aware.  What sort of pottage are the nations of Africa receiving in return for their birthright of natural resources? Or will they find, in the end, they have inherited a mess!

A SABBATH THINKING PIECE #2 ---- I want #justice—oceans of it. I want #fairness—rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want.

Amos 5:24The Message (MSG)

21-24 “I can’t stand your religious meetings.
    I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects,
    your pretentious slogans and goals.
I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes,
    your public relations and image making.
I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.
    When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
    I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
    That’s what I want. That’s all I want.

Robert Kennedy and the "Ripple of Hope" speech

Each time a person stands up for an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of others,
they send forth a tiny ripple of hope ...
These ripples build a current
Which can sweep down the mightiest walls
of oppression and resistance.
~~~ Robert F Kennedy
