Neither Time Past Nor Future, But the Present Only, Really Is

St Augustine - Neither Time Past Nor Future, But the Present Only, Really is - 17. At no time, therefore, hadst Thou not made anything, because Thou hadst made time itself. And no times are co-eternal with Thee, because Thou remainest for ever; but should these continue, they would not be times. For what is time? Who can easily and briefly explain it? Who even in thought can comprehend it, even to the pronouncing of a word concerning it? But what in speaking do we refer to more familiarly and knowingly than time? And certainly we understand when we speak of it; we understand also when we hear it spoken of by another. What, then, is time? If no one ask of me, I know; if I wish to explain to him who asks, I know not. Yet I say with confidence, that I know that if nothing passed away, there would not be past time; and if nothing were coming, there would not be future time; and if nothing were, there would not be present time. Those two times, therefore, past and future, how are they, when even the past now is not; and the future is not as yet? But should the present be always present, and should it not pass into time past, time truly it could not be, but eternity. If, then, time present—if it be time—only comes into existence because it passes into time past, how do we say that even this is, whose cause of being is that it shall not be—namely, so that we cannot truly say that time is, unless because it tends not to be? mythoughts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God

Buy the More Enduring Story – St. Columba

The Judgment of Colum Cille 7 December 521 – 9 June 597 AD - Since all the world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the more enduring story, rather than the story that is less enduring - St Columba of Scotland, David Reese, mythoughts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God

“Since all the world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the more enduring story, rather than the story that is less enduring” – The Judgment of Colum Cille Life is short, fragile, arbitrary, and unpredictable. Like anything, it saturates the mind with repetition. The longer we live, the more we see and […]

Compound Blessings Like Taxes

Compound Blessings Like Taxes, Just think, it could be blessings like taxes. The government received taxes on the same income or the same product more than once. Buy a car from a dealer, sell the car, the buyer resells the car- how many layers of tax? Joy and blessing could literally have more compounding than taxes. And with taxes, there is not the same likely hood of joy popping up in the process. mythoughts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God

You would almost certainly experience more pleasure watching someone you care for starting, gathering, completing, or reaping the fruit of something in the area where you have passion. And, another will receive a blessing as you support them. This can be anyone you would like to see gain new experience and blessing
