Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Who Or What is Your Real God - That Which You Are Absorbed With?

By Neil Baulch


Part 13. The Bible even asserts that we are saved by trusting and not by being good: EPH 2:8-9 For by a wonderful gift of God you have been saved through trusting in Him, it is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by earning it or anything you can do, unless somebody should boast.

Every person is religious. Everyone has a faith and a god - each person has a belief system, their own value system and a god. ROM 6:16 Don't you know that, to whoever you give yourself to obey as a slave, so to speak, you become enslaved by that thing, whether to the incorrect you do, which leads to hell or otherwise a slave to God, to obey His call for you which will give you life forever in heaven.

So you could say that we Christians, are in a way, slaves of God. Or in the times that we live it could be better to say that 'God is our Director' What Is A GOD? Definition - the thing that holds our affection, that we are devoted to; that we give ourselves to; the thing we place most importance upon; the thing that determines or molds our value system.

We've all got a religion and a god -: Confucianism, Hinduism, popularity, fame, career, money, yourself, Islam, Buddhism, Jesus Christ, sport, sexual pleasure, television, power, Humanism (man is god of himself. Most Westerners are quite Humanist in philosophy).

We will be able to trust God He is the Ultimate Being. If then, the scientific world tells us that we know only about ten percent of all there is to know, we really know little; yet if God is the great Creator who made us and everything else, He knows it ALL. So for us to assert 'I know what life is about and I shall set my course and values' etc.. Is a little crazy, because we would have to be God with All Information to understand that how we perceive life is rightly balanced.

How To Fix Your Relationship - Get Started Saving Your Relationship Today

By Felicia M Newton


It's safe to assume that everybody would agree that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. To be fair, there are plenty of couples that get along really, really well, but perfection simply isn't attainable. On the other hand, there are relationships that are so far from perfect that they are on the verge of collapse. If that hits a bit too close to home, then you may be in need of some relationship rescue.

While there are no perfect relationships, it's a good idea to keep striving for perfection; to keep trying to improve your relationship. This is important because it puts the focus on the relationship. Couples need to understand that being happy together doesn't just happen automatically. Good relationships take work. So, if you want to rescue a relationship that's not doing well, then you need to be willing to do whatever it takes to make it succeed.

It takes work from both people, and you have to give at least as much effort as you are expecting from your partner. Of course, you may end up doing more work, but you can't expect your partner to fix the entire relationship. After all, there are two people in every couple, and that means you need to do your part to make things better.

Not all problems are created equally. There are always those little things that seem to drive us nuts. So, you need to be able to prevent them from happening again, or learn to live with them. While we think it's the little things that drive us crazy, that's not entirely true. In reality, our dislike for the little things is nothing more than a way to express how we feel about the bigger issues. Either way, this is a good illustration of why you must be honest about the things that really went wrong when you were together before.

How to get back with your ex also requires both of you to communicate better. It's amazing how many relationships come to an end simply because the couple couldn't talk to each other effectively. Take the time to listen, be honest, and treat each other with respect. Doing those three things will add up to a world of difference.

Now, the choice is yours. You have just read some great advice, and you know you can get more online, but if you don't do anything with it then you have just wasted your time. But if you just do it and start making the necessary changes, you will like the results you see.
