Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

Fire Burns

Hi -

Okay, there are four elements -- fire, water, earth and air. They all perform according to natural law. Fire burns, water wets and so on. Also, gravity works; when we drop something, it falls -- in accordance with the laws of gravity. Natural laws do NOT change. Fire will always burn, water will always wet, etc.

In the bible, a favorite story is that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego found in the book of Daniel, chapter three. In the KJV version, verse 19, it says, “. . . should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.” The three men were cast into the burning fiery furnace. Verse 22 says, “Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.” Verse 27 says about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, “ . . . saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.”

Really?! So the natural law of fire didn’t work in THAT instance? Besides in the bible, does anyone know of any occurrence where folks were tossed in a burning fiery furnace -- and fire didn’t do what it NATURALLY does -- BURN?!

Natural law doesn’t go against itself . . . One proof is that everybody who jumped off buildings at high heights -- dropped, and hit the ground -- dead. Natural law did what it does, regardless of the choices of the jumpers.

Natural law is loyal to its roles -- period. 

P.S. The bible account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is some bullshit. They lied on FIRE. 'Cause fire burns -- dammit.
