What's the use?

      Always desire to learn something useful.

Sophocles

Useful....

It is such a useful term

As long as we realize that useful and practical do not have to be the same thing

Balloons are very useful

They make my grandkids smile

Dandelions are useful

They give you wishes to blow in to the wind

Francis Bacon said:

 Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.

Probably true, Sir Francis,

 but so will balloons and dandelions

and that's poetiquejustis

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:1

I Bet You Can

 

Don't let the things you can't do

get in the way of the things you can do.

John Wooden

There are things we know we must do

to get to where we want to go

and along the way, we find things we can't do

that still need to be done

No problem

Because we know that If we want to get there badly enough 

 We will just find another way

Because that is what we do

and that's poetiquejustis 

With God all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26

The Layers

 

Whenever you come near the human race,there are layers and layers of nonsense

Thornton Wilder

Alien dad explaining humans to his son:

"They strap them in and make them go round and round-

What could they have done to deserve such a fate?"

"They sit here for hours every day- and it seems each must

sit alone in his own vehicle rather than sharing".

 "They seem to talk a lot about healthy eating but...there are no words
to explain their diet"

"and they call us alien"

and that's poetiquejustis

Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?
1 Corinthians 6:19

Adding Up Your Life

 

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple,

 it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is. 

 ~John Louis von Neumann

Living?

No problem.

You just have to do the math.

Addition

Subtraction

Multiplication

Division

Donna Douglas said:

I want to give, not take away

and that's poetiquejustis

  

Every man shall give as he is able, 

according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.

L' Chaim!

 

I think life has a little more to give

Samuel Johnson

More than food 

More than drink

More than work

More than rest

Life has so much more to give

And you have so much more

to give

to life

Go! Give! Live!

and that's poetiquejustis

Bur seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

and all of these things will be added to you

Matthew 6:33

Catch

 

To improve the golden moment of opportunity and catch the good that is within our reach 

is the great art of life.  

 Samuel Johnson

 What's the hurry?

Do not pass it by!

Hear the music

Own the sunset

                                                        You can  make each moment shine

                                                           or you can simply let it fade away
                                                                            

Those are your choices

And that's poetiquejustis

Your Word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path

Psalm 119:105

No Stone Unearned

 

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present

Jim Rohn

Today I petition myself 

To look well to how I build my life

To lay each brick along the path with love

And care

and daring

Because the path I build today

Will be the road I walk tomorrow

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

I Thessalonians 5:11
