Isn't that silly and sad? When we are young, though, the naysayers can sound so 'spiritual' to us, falsely so. This topic has renewed simple joy in me in some ways and further confirmed that much of that sort of 'ascetic' Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786731428943931032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-37963181653399193612018-06-08T12:15:22.836-07:002018-06-08T12:15:22.836-07:00Planning things in your life can create contentmen...Planning things in your life can create contentment even when those goals are not reached.

It deepens the understanding. The reason people get such wacky religious ideas is because they don't look up the meanings of the words either in English or in Greek, to get a better sense of them.

If we do nothing, we have no hope. In Titus 2 it spells out how to live. Down near verse 13 and then says "looking for thst blessed hope" Another verse says "hope never disappoints ".
