What is not at all fitting or proper is that we should set our hearts on them. Temporal things must be treated as temporal things - received, given thanks for, offered back, but enjoyed. They must not be treated like eternal things.","author":"Elisabeth Elliot","tags":["discipline","eternity","holiness","temporal"],"id":39591,"author_id":"Elisabeth+Elliot"},{"text":"Today is an ephemeral ghost...A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not 'exist.'In mundane terms, it marks a 'leap' in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up!But this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability...A day of unlocked potential.Will you or won't you?

By promising man eternal life, it deprived him of temporal life, by teaching him to trust in God’s help it took away his trust in his own powers; by giving him faith in a better life in heaven, it destroyed his faith in a better life on earth and his striving to attain such a life. Christianity gave man what his imagination desires, but for that very reason failed to give him what he really and truly desires.","author":"Ludwig Feuerbach","tags":["desire","desires","destruction","earth","eternal-life","failure","goal","heaven","imagination","life","power","reason","temporal","temporal-life","trust","truth","unattainable-desire"],"id":145572,"author_id":"Ludwig+Feuerbach"},{"text":"Cultivate the habit of defining, refining, redefining and redeeming your opportunities.
