Perchance to dream.<br /><br />Not that there is anything completely wrong with that.<br /><br />To be a Man and not have proof can be a hell of a thing.

As though the seed, anticipating that its hull would one day split and it would literally become one with the earth in which it lay - and thus no longer be a seed - did everything it could to prolong its un-unified state for as long as possible.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-53953824796039288722017-01-09T14:52:03.417-08:002017-01-09T14:52:03.417-08:00Therefore, death is just like money, only worse.

It doesn't actually work, but that has never stopped people from trying.</i><br /><br />In China, apparently, they have finally figured out that forcibly sterilizing all women after one child was maybe not so wise after all. For a select few, they are offering to remove the state-mandated IUDs and encouraging women to have a second child. Human lives there are almost literally like tokens to be exchanged for labor units at the will of the state. However, having embraced the idea that China's future depended on the annihilation of "excess" offspring, few women now are taking up the chance to have more. One of the rummy things about death - they promise it can be used to buy life, but mostly it just buys more and more death.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-85203860557136822902017-01-09T12:58:46.665-08:002017-01-09T12:58:46.665-08:00The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is...<i>The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ</i> (1 Cor. 15:56-57)<br /><br />I never really thought about death as the cause of sin, but I can kind of see how it works that way. Death is no longer the master. mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.com
