God’s Love For You Is Deathless / Bill Kincaid’s Wizard’s Gambit / Why is Coffee Good For You? / TUESDAY, Jan. 5 – We Begin Again

Person Holding White Daisy Flower

“Nothing
can be Loved or hated
unless it is first understood.”

Leonardo da Vinci.

God’s Love for you
is deathless.

The Blessings of Blissful moments
are Lived and Loved
on the pathway to Happiness,
as we struggle with all the misfortunes
of this World,
and Pray to God
to shield us from harm.

In the brightest of days
and the darkest of nights,
amidst your Happiest moments

and gloomiest hours,
there can be a Soft Breeze flowing
through your Life,

the Breath of God,
the Spirit of the Lord
Passing By.

All
that is needed
is Prayer.

The Banner of our purpose
for existence, for Love, for Life,
floats calmly in this Gentle Breeze,
 of God’s Unbounded Love for us.

We may have unlimited confidence
in the Love and Care
God will have
for His Precious Children
of Faith.

Such Faith
is simple
and profound.
It is the same
Faith,
that may be found
in the Love
your Children feel
for you.

Blotchy Background

Feel gratified to God
for the Beauty all around,
found in every Leaf
and every Tree,
in everything that was,
and is,
and is to be.
.

The Hope
in all our future years,

the only Hope
there may be,
resides in our Love
for each other,
the Love
God has given

to you
and me.

 The Love
of our Lord
is kept among even the dimmest memories
of Childhood.
In the Maternal Care
we share,
is the warmth and tender
caress
of all the Love
that is there.

Yes,
the Beauty
of all things
can be beheld
by you.
This knowledge,
this awareness,
gives you
Birth
anew.

There are words Sacred
in number
that let us explore
unfettered
the Eternal Nature
of God’s Love.
They are here,
they are real.
And they reside
within the Holy Word
of God.

In the Eyes of God
every
teardrop is timeless,
every smile
remains in the Heart.
You
are Forever Eternal
in the Love of God
that Created you.

In every Flower we see,
Blossoms the Love
that Flows
Eternally.
In
the Natural World,
not built by
you and me,
is
the Love of God,
painted
on every Living Thing
that dwells
in the Forest of His Heart,
for you
and for me.

The Holy Word of God
is filled with His Promises
to provide the rest we need.
Our Precious Father
in Heaven Above
is an Endless Source of
Peace and Strength.

                       Painted on every Living Thing.

And
rest is important

to our Spiritual Walk with the Lord.
Mental and physical rest
allows our mind and our body,
and, importantly, our Spirit
to renew
and begin again each Blessed Gift
of Day,
with renewed strength
and purpose.

My Dear Friends,
during this precarious time 
of worry and stress,
rest
is important to your physical Being,

and
your Spiritual Walk

with the Lord.

Many people today

don’t appreciate the true value
of rest,
physical and Spiritual.
.
 God is an endless source of
Peace and Strength.

“In order for God’s Strength
to manifest and present in our Lives
we must have
Faith.”

Hebrews 11:1

Goodnight.

There is a fantastic
book by Bill Kincaid:
Wizard’s Gambit.

This is Bill’s first
science fiction/fantasy book.

coffee chartWhy is Coffee Good For You?
Here Are 7 Reasons
By Kris Gunnars
To read the full article
click here

In recent years and decades, scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various aspects of health and their results have been nothing short of amazing. Here are 7 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.

1. Coffee Can Make You Smarter

The active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which is a stimulant and the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world. Caffeine’s primary mechanism in the brain is blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

Many controlled trials have examined the effects of caffeine on the brain, demonstrating that caffeine can improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function.

2. Coffee Can Help You Burn Fat and Improves Physical Performance

There’s a good reason why you will find caffeine in most commercial fat burning supplements.

Caffeine raises metabolism and increases the oxidation of fatty acids.

3. Coffee May Drastically Lower Your Risk of Type II Diabetes

Type II diabetes is a lifestyle-related disease that has reached epidemic proportions, having increased 10-fold in a few decades and now afflicting about 300 million people.

In observational studies, coffee has been repeatedly associated with a lower risk of diabetes. The reduction in risk ranges from 23% all the way up to 67%.

A massive review article looked at 18 studies with a total of 457.922 participants. Each additional cup of coffee per day lowered the risk of diabetes by 7%. The more coffee people drank, the lower their risk.

4. Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

Not only can coffee make you smarter in the short term, it may also protect your brain in old age.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world and a leading cause of dementia.

In prospective studies, coffee drinkers have up to a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Parkinson’s is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by death of dopamine-generating neurons in the brain. Coffee may lower the risk of Parkinson’s by 32 – 60%.

5. Coffee May be Extremely Good For Your Liver

The liver is a remarkable organ that carries out hundreds of vital functions in the body.

It is very vulnerable to modern insults such as excess consumption of alcohol and fructose. Cirrhosisis the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis, where liver tissue has been largely replaced by scar tissue.

Multiple studies have shown that coffee can lower the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%, the strongest effect for those who drank 4 or more cups per day.

Coffee may also lower the risk of liver cancer by around 40%.

6. Coffee May Decrease Your Risk of Dying

In two very large prospective epidemiological studies, drinking coffee was associated with a lower risk of death by all causes.

This effect is particularly profound in type II diabetics, one study showing that coffee drinkers had a 30% lower risk of death during a 20 year period.

7. Coffee is Loaded With Nutrients and Antioxidants

Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink, which actually contains a decent amount of vitamins and minerals.

A cup of coffee contains:

6% of the RDA for Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5).
11% of the RDA for Riboflavin (Vitamin B2).
2% of the RDA for Niacin (B3) and Thiamine (B1).
3% of the RDA for Potassium and Manganese.

May not seem like much, but if you drink several cups of coffee per day then this quickly adds up.

But this isn’t all. Coffee also contains a massive amount of antioxidants.

In fact, coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants in the western diet, outranking both fruits and vegetables combined.

Even though coffee in moderate amounts is good for you, drinking way too much of it can still be harmful.

To make sure to preserve the health benefits, don’t put sugar or anything nasty in your coffee! If it tends to affect your sleep, then don’t drink it after 2 p.m.

If anything, coffee may literally be the healthiest beverage on the planet.

And so, my friends, instead of allowing your children to drink deadly and addictive soft drinks, why not introduce them to something healthy? Yes, like coffee.

A Beautiful and Mysterious Enigma / Wizard’s Gambit by Bill Kincaid / Mistakes are the Way We Learn / Important Dates

“The best and most beautiful
things in the World
cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be
felt with the Heart.”
Helen Keller

Life is
a Beautiful and Mysterious
enigma.
.
And never
more Mysterious or Beautiful
than when we are
in Love.

Love
is a heightened state
of awareness,
a NATURAL state of
consciousness.

Love
enhances our awareness
of the powerful,
guiding forces
in the Universe.
These forces
brought us into
this World,
and they can
sustain us,
or destroy us.

“There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough.
And it’s hard at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
Oh beautiful release.
Memory seeps from my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight.”
Sarah McLachlan

                       It moves through YOU.

Love
is so Mysterious
that it transcends
Life
as we know it.
Love allows us
to enter dimensions
unknown.
It challenges our
intellect.

“We’re heading for something,
Somewhere I’ve never been,
Sometimes I am frightened,
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of Love.”
– Barry & Holly Tashian, Pamela Hayes

.
Love
is so powerful
that it moves through
the whole Universe.
And
it moves through
YOU,
much like
waves of gravity
that also
bring things together.
.
“Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have.
Little things
I should have said and done.

I just never took the time.
You were always on my mind.”
– Johnny Christopher, Mark James, Wayne Thompson

               Beautiful and Mysterious

Love
awakens us
to the Reality of God,
and the greater Reality
of ourselves.

We envision
our innermost Nature
only
in the Heart
of someone we
Love.

Only
the Human Heart
can show us
the true value
of Life.

Only
the Heart
can light the way
to happiness
and Beauty.
The Human Heart
is the hinge
upon which the World,
YOUR World,
turns.

The very Fabric
of the Universe,
and your Life,
is changed
through simple acts of
Love.

To set Fire
to your Heart,
dedicate
one moment
of your Life,
to uplifting the Spirit,
lightening the burden,
instilling Joy
into the Life
of someone else.

In that
one moment of time,
you can feel
Eternity.
In just one moment
you can be,
more
than you thought
you could ever be.
When the Heart
beats
for someone else
in need,
your Spirit
is set free.

.
The Marriage
of the Spirit
and the intellect
takes place
upon the Altar
of the Human Heart.

Each person
is a Book.
And
if we learn
to read that Book,
we can read
everything.

So,
you’re sitting at home,
a little bored, absentmindedly fluttering
from one thought to the next,
not expecting much.
And then Life happens.
Wow!

             Everything else is an Illusion.

And
you begin
the journey
of self discovery
by reading your Book.
The Holy Bible
is your Book.
It is
the Book of
YOU.

True Knowledge
of the Mysterious workings
of the material World around us
can only be discovered
though
Spiritual Experience.

In the context
of the larger and greater
Spiritual Reality,
the physical World
is very small
indeed.

Yes,
the mental and the material
can be transcended
through
Spiritual Dimensions.

                And then Life happens.

The pathway forward
begins
with but the first page
of God’s Holy Word,
The Bible.

In the beginning . . . .
.
“So God created man
in His Own Image,
in the Image of God
created He him;
male and female created He
them.

 And God Blessed them.”
Genesis 1: 27-28

Now,
you have started
upon a Beautiful Journey.
Just
take the next step.
Open the Book
of Life.

These forces brought us into this World, and they can sustain us.        (I wonder who that is?)

Awareness
of Spiritual Reality,
the Immanence of the
Divine
encompassed and manifested
in our material world,
in our everyday Life,
is the only Hope
for happiness,
for good,
for Love,
for Truth.

Everything else,
is an illusion.

The window of opportunity
to be truly happy
is very narrow.
Never
will we be children again,
until we are
very old.

My Dear Friends,
we are
Spiritual Beings
having
a Human experience.

The unknown darkness
bearing in on us,
needs
but the Light of
Love
to be extinguished.

And that Love
may be found
in the Holy Word
of God,
in the silence
of a Prayerful mind,
in the LOVE
you give
to someone.

Goodnight.

 “There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a Miracle.
The other is as though
everything is a Miracle.”
Albert Einstein

MISTAKES
are the way we fallible and fragile
and very HUMAN beings
LEARN.

They are the natural
order of things.
They are essential to
Life,
Evolution,
Learning,
Laughter
and LOVE.

I encourage you to make at least ONE
mistake on purpose each day.
Discuss it at length with your young one.
See if he or she can guess which mistake
you made that day
on purpose.
Record your child’s response
and expect him or her to be on Comedy Central
later.
This will be
an entertaining and enlightening
conversation.

A mistake
is the greatest teacher
on Earth.

Our mistakes give Life
texture,
new direction,
meaning,
reflection
and a wonderful and Loving opportunity
for Forgiveness,
should we have the courage
to ask.
