Perspective
If any of us could be transported to heaven for even a five-minute visit, we would never be the same after our return to earth. For the first time, we would have a true perspective on the frailty and brevity of life on earth and the absurdity of giving our hearts to things that will not last. - Ken Boa
The Present is the point at which Time touches Eternity. Of the present moment - and of it only - humans, have an experience analogous to the experience which God has of reality as a whole; in it alone, freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with him) or with the Present - either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure. - C. S. Lewis

Got your email. Just trying to catch my breath here. I want to start the study back up. How about next week?
Sounds Good!
