Drunkenness

The letter of St. Paul to Titus [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/titus/2?1] is certainly one for our current age and generation. A simple interpretation can be – drink in moderation. Final! However, I think St. Paul mention of drunkenness may have been deeper that the simple idea of alcohol and liquor.

Drunkenness has taken on many forms. From severe addiction to social media, excessive work chasing the elusive dollar to elitism, among many other things/habits that have stolen our time with God. I am sure many can relate…God has been pushed further and further out of our daily lives because we are occupied with worldly chores.

I find myself contemplating my own drunkenness and I find St. Paul’s advice of doing things in moderation a sure remedy to this disease. It is not easy to just stop… Can you imagine…trying to leave the phone home in an effort to spend more time thinking of God…rather than browsing those messages… How about the FOMO? It is a challenge…but with God all is possible.

What’s your drunkenness? Will you do something to ‘moderate’ it. Have a moderate day, won’t you?

Ye of Little Faith!

I had a vivid image of my youth. Whenever we heard the president was travelling by road near our township, we flocked to the roadside to see him. Often the mass of people flocking to just get a live glimpse of the president were large. consequently, it was not a strange sight to see a few individuals perched up on tree branches and the like. If you could not push through the crowd to get in front, climbing a tree was a second-best option. I may be guilty of that.

Now, the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) certainly strike a familiar code. If anything, Zacchaeus desire to see Jesus was as great as my desire to see the president then. However, the story of Zacchaeus took an unexpected turn. Let’s put it this way, the time my president drove by, if he had stopped and seen me on the tree and called out to me…he would have addressed me as …Hey, come here now! Jesus on the other hand, called the man up the tree by NAME. He said, “Zacchaeus, Come down quickly…”

Many a times we face many challenges, pains, hurts, toils and labors that appear like a vicious cycle of ordinary live. Often it is like our prayers fall on deaf ears and more. Well, the gospel above reminds me that, that is not the case. God knows me/you by NAME. Zacchaeus was a complete stranger, but Jesus called him by name! I can hear, ye of little faith ring in my ears. So even when the going seems tough, look keenly at the obstacles and see the opportunity in them but don’t dwell on them. You are known by God, by your name…so you matter to him and the world at large. Go do good…

eSpring, World’s No.1 Selling Home Water Purification System

It is interesting to note that people buy bottled water to drink. That is a good step towards drinking clean, pure water. However, when it comes to COOKING, people just use the tap water as provided by the city water commission. If you have listened to the news lately, the quality of municipal tap water is not great…from PFAS, to Lead to so many other contaminants including silt. Take a close look at the video above…take action to safeguard your health and that of your loved ones.

The initial system price may be a shock, but payment plans are available. Simple DIY instruction are included. After the 1st year, you only spend ~$250/ year to replace the filter/cartridge – way cheaper than buying just drinking water. [Each filter/cartridge is good for 1320 gallons of pure, safe, clean drinking and cooking water]
