#-Shine as Jewels in the Kingdom of God

Wrote a letter to you today, another one that won't be delivered. That makes about 3 or 4 undelivered letters. Well I guess the letters may never get to you, unless of course I decide to let you on to them at a later date. We'll see about that.

I'm so amused by a female friend who actually is trying to pick up some guy, and has actually tried to find him a couple of times but to no avail. I didn't know ladies were that desperate. Perhaps it's the new generation thing eh?

So bored. Shall copy a passage I read today:

Diamonds do not dazzle with beauty unless they are cut. When cut, the rays of the sun fall on them and make them shine with wonderful colours. So when we are cut into shape by the cross we shall shine as jewels in the Kingdom of God.

In Switzerland a shepherd broke the leg of a sheep. When asked why he had done so, he said that she had the bad habit of leading other sheep astray and taking them to dangerous heights and precipices. The sheep was so angry that when the shepherd came to feed her she sometimes tried to bite him. But after a time she became friendly and would lick his hands. Just so, through sorrow and suffering, God leads those who have been disobedient and rebellious to the path of safety and eternal life.

-Reality and Religion.
