The Greatest Gift

The Greatest Gift
1 Corinthians 13





1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that this is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Damn the Mind

Damn the Mind 8-27-2017 Damn the mind and it wanting to take you into the dark recesses of its inner core. You know the place, where it screams out that no one loves you, what you think is not important. If it was important, the person you just sent that text to would answer and not wait until it is late evening, they would not tell you that the link of a video you made was not important enough to look at because they were not in the mood. In other words my mind is telling me that they do not think that I am important enough for their attention??!?!?!?!? When they finally ask if you are okay, your answer is, “I’m fine,” because you do not want to unload the inner turmoil rolling around in your mind! Then your mind really goes dark and says, what would be the quickest and easiest way to end your life? Sigh… One is to go into the Mighty Mississippi in freezing cold temps.  One, I no longer live in St Louis and it is August.  Two, take every pill that y...

Quitting Smoking

Image
This last month, I quit smoking a month ago on July 26, 2017!!! My General Practitioner asked why I still smoked if I was only smoking 3-5 cigarettes a day? I responded, "I enjoy the flavor..." He laughed and suggested that I try Nicotine Gum instead of the 3-5 cigarettes a day. I also have low functioning kidneys and one of those kidneys has a low grade cancer on it. I met with a specialist about removing this low grade cancer and with his recommendation, he also explained their may be a need for dialysis, for a short period of time until my body adjust or permanently should they need to remove the who kidney! I then asked about a transplant? In which he responded that I would need to have quit smoking and be on Dialysis for 2 years and that because of the location of the growth being on the backside of my kidney amongst all the veins and arteries, there is a chance that I could bleed out during surgery... Deep thoughts... A day or so later, with this in my mind, I we...
