Thought for 14th Oct, 2005

The TfT is FAITH..........Its said that the power of faith surpasses every other power in the universe except perhaps that of  "Hope". Its Faith and faith alone that makes a person believe, in all that is possible what he/she can or cannot do.........................and contrary to the popular thought, .................a persons faith is his/her alone and doesn't depend upon anyone elses.

       

Here are some quotes to go by

"I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference."

                                                                --Jimmy Carter

Faith is not contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler's bet: it's an act, an intention, a project, something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far, far ahead that you shoot clean out of time and right into Eternity, which is not theend of time or a whole lot of time or unending time, but timelessness, the old Eternal Now.
