Random Building Thoughts - 2022-07-30

-------------- HUMOR --------------

It is clear that

without a Firm Foundation

of the Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences,

Allegory, Tropes, Schemes & Metaphor are at best

only Superficially Recognized & Understood,

and are more likely

misunderstood, unrecognized

and profoundly misleading

as something utterly different.

-------------- THE MASTER'S WORD --------------

The Study of the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences

provides students with the opportunity

to Learn how to Learn.

In addition,

it provides opportunity for the student

to foster an independent ability

to teach themselves.

The Subject matter too is of great importance.

The main thrust of the two main focuses,

symbols as they appear

as Words and as Numbers,

is to foster abilities to communicate Recognition and Understanding.

Ultimately,

these studies lead Students to be capable

of delving into God's Creation,

Recognizing, Understanding and Interacting

with It at levels most people cannot even begin to imagine.

No true study of Theology and Philosophy

can be undertaken

without a Strongly Established Foundation

of Hearts and Minds Cultivated

to Receive what God Reveals.

-------------- CHARACTER --------------

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------

COACH'S CHALLENGE:

This one is focusing upon the OT & NT in regards to coming back to life.

When asked, "how many biblical people rose from the dead?" I was able to recall two immediately, Jesus and Lazarus. Then I remembered two more from my readings when asked, "Are you sure?", think "Widow's & woman's sons."

I was curious if there were more "incidents", so I explored further and found that there are at least 10 incidents reported or referred to within the NT & OT were people were brought back from the dead, of which more than 10 individuals rose from the dead.

Can you name them all? How's your answer shoring up? Can you recall them all without looking them up?

Let me know how close you come to the 10 "incidents" and doing so without external support.

Enjoy the head scratching!

-------------- RUFFIAN --------------

-------------- WELL? --------------

What are you doing with His Light?
(Inquiring minds want to know!)

-------------- ASPIRE! --------------

Don't Let

the Warm Fires of Complacency

Consume Your Potential!

-------------- ROCK BOTTOM!!! --------------

It is Only at Rock Bottom

Where your True Foundation is Laid.

Reach it Before you Build.

-------------- A TOAST --------------

To the Ruffians and the Parroters,
And the Cowans who Make no Cement,
Add the Ring-Wearers and Title-Bearers,
and may none of us ever Lament.

-------------- CHOICE! --------------

Yep!

It's an inside out job for sure!

Happiness is a CHOICE!

-------------- DON'T STOP! --------------

Be Unstoppable

for all the Right Reasons!

-------------- LOOK INSIDE! --------------
