A question that all married people should answer
A quick question to married people: Do you plan on cheating on your spouse some day? Before you answer that, think with me. When we intend to do something, our mind quickly enters the planning process in order to do achieve what we want. That’s right, it’s automatic, our mind works like that. When [...]
The unheard cry
Meditating on this Proverb, I found something interesting: Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. 21 She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words: 22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
