Time-Use it or lose it. Time, like a snowflake, disappears while we're trying to decide what to do with it. The surest way to be late is to have plenty of time.

Those will soon come to make nothing of God that will not be content to make him their all.

Tridents (sic) are not weapons of mass destruction.

Mindfulness - moment to moment non-judgemental attention and awareness.
