SPIRITUAL THEMES

ON THE MEANING OF LIFE
(What's it all about?)


Is there life before death?
--Graffito, in Belfast

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
--Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)

My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.
--Woody Allen

Life is just one damned thing after another.
--Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

Life is something that everyone should try at least once.
--Henry J. Tillman

Ken Venturi's Two Great Rules of Life
1. Never tell everything at once.
--Ken Venturi

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.
--Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Letter to Mrs Foote, Dec. 2, 1887

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
--Tallulah Bankhead (1903 - 1968)

WHAT'S IT (LOVE) ALL ABOUT?
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (Message Bible)

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing.

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.

We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
