By: Gabriela Yareliz From the book Temperance. No matter what you believe, this has to do with your connection to God, and your mental and physical power. Why must we abstain from certain things?

Shadow Men
Jason: “Only a God can save us”? Archie: I didn’t say some preacher could. But what a story. Jason: Story? Archie: The Jesus thing. God, the Creator of the universe, becoming a man, suffering worse than any person suffered, suffering an injustice worse than any of us can suffer? Incredible! I forgot that’s what ChristiansContinue reading “Shadow Men”
M. Gandhi
By: Gabriela Yareliz From M. Gandhi’s autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth I am enjoying his book thus far.

Schopenhauer
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ve been an insomniac lately… this reminded me of Robert Benigni in “Life is Beautiful,” “La Vita E Bella,” where he tries Schopenhauer to go to sleep (because everything is possible when you want it to be and you can be what you want to be), and he also uses it onContinue reading “Schopenhauer”

Belief &Truth
By: Gabriela Yareliz The words of this song are so meaningful. In times of uncertainty, it pays to think of those who faced big decisions and trials before you and how God delivered them in the past. God does not change, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. /Many nights we’ve prayed With noContinue reading “Belief &Truth”
