Willy-nilly

Into this Universe, and Why not knowing  Nor Whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing;  And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,  I know not Whither, willy-nilly blowing. Stanza XXXII of “Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” by Edward Fitzgerald (1809–1883)

Benefits of the Bible

In this day and age of energy drinks and herbal suppliments, some seem to expect the Word of God to hit them like a can of Red Bull each time they crack the Good Book open.

Realistically, while there are periodic jolts that do hit us, the Word of God is often more like taking vitamins.

One takes vitamins because of the long-term benefits. Sure one may feel a surge after swallowing the pill initially, consider what happens over time: a habit has been established, health is sustained, disease is staved off, germs are abated, and so on . . .
