Thought Of The Day - Heaven or Hell on Earth

Thought Of The Day - Heaven or Hell on Earth

Heaven, many people believe, is a place on Earth. Hell, as we all know from experience, most definitely exists on this planet. We don't have to go anywhere else for it. No descent into any sulphurous inferno could equal the agony felt by some people right here in this world from time to time. Which of the two realms do we want to live in? And do we get a choice? Don't worry about the judgement of some lofty power. It is our own judgement that will lead us to one place or the other. We only need to use ours wisely.

Thought of the Day - To err is human but to forgive is divine

Thought of the Day - To err is human but to forgive is divine

They say that, 'To err is human but to forgive is divine.' They say that for a reason. It is because it is true. But there is something about the phrasing of that old adage that is a little misleading. 'To err' suggests 'to make a small mistake.' That, by implication, puts 'to forgive' into a smaller category. We can all be gracious enough to overlook a minor misdemeanour but actually, the greater and more unacceptable the transgression, the more of a divine experience we can have when we allow ourselves to forgive it.
