How to be Spiritual Amidst this Chaos?

Dr. Stewart Bitkoff, Contributor Waking Times Circumstances have overtaken man. His old languages are not sufficient to describe what is happening, and what is about to happen.

Dr. Stewart Bitkoff, Contributor Waking Times “At the beginning I was mistaken in four ways. I sought to remember God, to know Him, and to seek Him. When I had come to the end, I saw that He had remembered me before I remembered Him, that His knowledge of me had preceded my knowledge of …

The Law of Assumption

What Can We Learn From How Grandma and Grandpa Used To Eat?

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times Every successive generation seems to be getting sicker, with more illness and disability.
