sovereign

It is apparent, dear reader, in most continents of the world kings and queens are not what they once used to be. Where once total power rested in their hands. Many now are just figure heads of past glories. Given the many atrocities which had been carried out under the banner of this king or that Queen, it is not unreasonable to be in the situation we are presently residing. Yet the limiting of absolute power from the former sovereigns of this world has not prevented the abuse they used to carry out from being visited upon us by others. Sadly, however, the opposite is not always true, for many leaders of their countries were worthwhile men and women, who took their role of King and Queen with such seriousness that their entire lives were dedicated to the furtherance of the people under them. The monarchy indeed became the true Shepherd. Sadly with the lessening of the monarchs power the ability to protect the flock has also gone.

Connection

There is dear reader a perception that one can exist inside of this life without affecting another person. This view, I believe comes more out of hope that actual truth.

So, dear reader, since your life does affect another person. I put it to you, we are responsible to live our lives as best for other peopl...

Efficient

Dear Reader in today's economy we have intense pressure to be efficient. Many times this pressure to be efficient takes priority over being effective. Our world can look at things and say, "how do we make this happen faster." Yet somehow "Jesus the Carpenter" was completely effective in his calling in the time and circumstances he found himself. This may not seem all that amazing at first, but upon reflection, it might have more benefit. Jesus could have come to earth at any time, if he had arrived now, instead of taking days or weeks to walk around Israel he could have driven. Instead of talking to one's and two, and managing "a large crowd of 5000", he could have used the internet to reach millions. Instead of relying upon "eye witnesses", he could have posted his Resurrection on Instagram for all to see. But Jesus didn't For some reason the time He came and the way He came was perfect. Efficient, maybe not, but effect...
