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?

Special Training To Demonstrate How You Change Your Mindset To Receive Prosperity You Desire

By Alan Charter


Whenever times get tough, it's tempting to revert to old behaviors and coping skills that do not necessarily do us any favors. Personal development is an ongoing process of learning new ways to cope and bring strength and peace to your life. The following tips can help you get started on your way.

Generalizations are the enemy of your self-improvement and success. Examine your thought processes to see what negative, general beliefs you hold about yourself. If you say in your mind that you "always fail," etc., this is not accurate. Even if it was only one time, you have succeeded in the past! Remind yourself that the future is bright and self-improvement is possible.

In order to improve your personal development performance, look for goals you have been putting off and get to work on them. Ambitious goals and multiple goals are good things - unless you tend to leave some of them unattended. Make a plan that moves you towards your problem goals, at least a little bit every day.

A great self help tip is to not abuse alcohol, especially if you're taking any medications. Alcohol is a depressant and can disrupt the effects of any medications you're taking. If you're taking an antidepressant, drinking alcohol will result in an adverse reaction, leaving you even more depressed.

Exercising regularly is important. Regular exercise not only gets your body healthy and strong but it can also boost your self confidence. People who work out feel a sense of accomplishment afterward and thus tend to be happier afterward. Working out does not mean that you have to work out for hours in the gym. It is as easy as taking a walk.

As you are on your journey to bettering yourself and your life, remember that all things take time to accomplish and that shortcuts are temporary solutions that will not get you to where you want to be. Relish the time you spend making changes to yourself, and soon enough they will be a constant part of who you are. Patiently fulfill your true potential.

To make sure you stick to your goals, develop a plan and write it down. You are more likely to complete goals when they are written down on paper. A checklist is a superb idea, because you can check off your goals as you complete them. Visibly seeing what you have accomplished builds confidence and allows you to tackle tough tasks.

Look at the changes you will need to make on a daily basis and actions you need to take daily in order to reach your goals. Turn those actions into daily habits. Once you get used to doing the same action daily it will make your goals easier to reach over time.

Happiness and peace are a state of mind that everyone would like to inhabit, but coping mechanisms from long ago may not be getting you the state of mind you are seeking. Developing yourself through avenues such as your senses and your intuition allows for a deeper sense of self and the peaceful state of mind you seek.

Jesus Genealogy As Told By Matthew And Luke

By Jeanette Riggs


The Jesus genealogy can be found in two books of the Good Book. First it can be located in Luke. The second is in Matthew. Matthew's rendition begins with Abraham and then moves on to King David's boy named Solomon and goes through the line of the kings down to Jeconiah, of which was cursed by God be barren. Next you will find Joseph, the legal father of Jesus.

Luke follows a different line. His account goes all the way back to Adam. Next it follows one of Davids sons and on to Nathan of which will bring you back to Joseph. In both statements, it is said that Jesus was not begot of Joseph but, from God himself. The lists are both the same when it come to following between Abraham and David. After that they are totally different.

Several Theories exist to explain the lineage differences. Majority of Scholars think that the heritage outlined in Matthew are Josephs and the one in Luke are Marys. They both seem to follow a path that connects Jesus to David. This actually ha meaning because God had spoken to David telling him that a blood kin would be sat upon the eternal throne.

He got the lawful declare to the throne through his adoptive father Joseph, as described in the book of Matthew, and He got the blood lines declare to the throne through his Mother, as described in the book of Luke. In this way He had gotten the blood line of David through the son of David, Nathan and dodging the curse that God had placed on the group of Solomon, David's oldest son, and lawful heir to the kingship. Solomon was an ancestor of John.

Each of the genealogies describe Jesus' having rights to the throne in Israel. Because he was Joseph's oldest son, he also had the right to throne of Solomon. Solomon's declare on the throne seemed to be uncertain simply because he had not been David's oldest son. Additionally, Solomon seemed to be David's child with Bathsheba, which has been a partnership of sin.

Nevertheless, Jesus was an heir to David's throne through Nathan due to Mary's origins. The residents of their interval realized, that the union of Jesus earthly parents, would end up linking the ties on the throne even Israel along with putting them together in Jesus, their oldest boy.

This set up the competition with the Sanhedrin later in the Bible. Since Jesus is the inheritor of the throne and unifies the competing statements to the throne, the Sanhedrin the government associates of the Romans, at first considered if Jesus, as King of the Jewish people, would side with them to toss off the yoke of Roman oppression. However, when he belittled the Sanhedrin, they switched on him, obligating the Romans to crucify him to sustain their power.

It seemed though that that was already Gods strategy. Christ was the king of a religious dominion and followed a plan to atone the sins of all of humanity. He supplies all the world absolution if they all will only believe, be baptized and repent. This is the layout to the Old Testament and it allows one to comprehend the main plot when studying the Gospels and the Jesus genealogy.
