Love & Aspiration

Aspiring towards something
Hoping for something
Wanting something
Come of loving that something;
Love powers all aspirations, hopes, and desires;
It is the grand generator of life’s energy and actions.

Best & Excellence

Excellence means
That one has done his best
And that his best is better than
The best of most others.

Superstition & Evidence

There is no mind
Immune to superstition;
To cleanse the mind of superstitions
One must be willing to examine the evidence.

Spirit & Defeat

It is hard to defeat
A cheerful person who
Confronts anger and hate
With a peaceful smile;
The Jesus spirit in us
Is undefeatable.

Children & Future

A country
That neglects its children
Risks its future.

Peace & Passion

Without hungers, passions and desires
There would be no conflicts or wars
No love, hate, or romance
No struggle or competition
No art, science, or creativity
No corruption, cruelty, or killing
No ideology, friendship, or community
And no reproduction, family, or learning;
Without hungers, passions, and desires
Universal peace would quietly reign
But life would not be worth living.

Bombs & Demography

Powerful bombs decimate
And nuclear bombs devastate
But demographic bombs dominate.
