Imagine
If I let go an object from my hand it will fall down
If I let it go that object again from my hand it will fall down again
After ninety times .... I asked
Will the object fall down?
Your answer,
Yes
That is an exercise of faith

There were ninety nine events that demonstrate consistency
The belief on the outcome of the one hundredth is a test of your faith in that consistency

God works like that

There are historical events and scientific descriptions that showed that the Bible was ahead of its time
The Earth hangs upon nothing (so it was said some 4,500 years ago)
500 years ago astronomers concluded that the world was really hanging upon nothing
The creation sequence is exactly the same as the evolutionary passage
The only difference is that man was never an ape
Man has a conscience and a respect of the spiritual realm

Nobody with a fair intellect can believe that all of these came by chance ....

The planet earth, like governed by the second law of thermodynamics is always going to head towards chaos
Like entropy nothing will reverse the flow towards its disorder
The world will never be an untainted place again but again we should not stop cleaning house
There is no complete justice in this world but again we should not stop working for justice now

I believe that our short sojourn here is more useful building lasting relationships

Recall
        Life is relationships
        Without relationships, there is no life

We should not spend our short life working to preserve the passing
       Again that does not mean that it should not be a part of our lives
It is better to live life and preserve relationships
       After all, our legacy is the memories that we leave behind to the one, maybe two generations of people that we touched

Dying is really not a painful thing
It is the completion of a fleeting journey .....
