More From Laurence J. Peter

In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is excellence of virtue; in the cross is perfection of holiness. there is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.
Jesus Perfection Joy
The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.
Life Beauty Death
But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. when a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. that water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. it is salty, by just the same amount. she makes a little ocean, in her body. and not only this. our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. we carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. and we are crying the oceans, in our tears.
Baby Ocean Sweat
Study water. try to grab a hold of water, and it will always elude you. you just have to let yourself be in it. it's soft, and it overcomes anything that's hard. put the hardest substance - say, titanium - out there, and let water flow over it. eventually, patiently, peacefully, the water will just wear it away. also, water will enter anywhere - through any opening at all. so, let yourself be like that. god is in nature, everywhere and always. and we have so much to learn.
Water Trying Overcoming
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
If god wishes to be born as man and to unite mankind in the fellowship of the holy ghost, he suffers the terrible torment of having to bear the world in its reality. it is a crux; indeed, he himself is his own cross. the world is god's suffering, and every individual human being who wishes even to approach his own wholeness knows very well that this means bearing his own cross. but the eternal promise for him who bears his own cross is the paraclete.

Students and scholars of all kinds and of every age aim, as a rule, only at information, not insight. they make it a point of honour to have information about everything, every stone, plant, battle, or experiment and about all books, collectively and individually. it never occurs to them that information is merely a means to insight, but in itself is of little or no value.
Book Mean Age
I still relate to my father very much. i mean, i talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
Father Mean Way
No pleasure is evil in itself; but the means by which certain pleasures are gained bring pains many times greater than the pleasures.
