Jer 23:1-6
Eph 2:13-18
Mk 6:30-34
Lost, they were lost and searching for…something. They weren’t even sure what they were seeking. They only knew something was missing, there was an empty space that nothing could fill, until they heard his voice, until they heard his words. They knew they had found what was missing, they had found what they were searching for. Jesus was taking his apostles to a place to rest after their labors, away from the crowds, a quiet retreat. The people, however, desperate to hear him, to learn from him, to be with him, found out where he was going and rushed to get there ahead of him. So when Jesus and the apostles arrived the throng was waiting for them. Jesus saw them and knew they needed him, they needed to hear him, to learn from him, just to be with him. He was moved and began to teach them. Too often we are lost, searching, looking for something, looking for meaning, looking for truth. We wander about but never seem to find it. Many people my age wandered off seeking truth and meaning in other faiths, in astrology or Eastern mysticism. Some looked for truth in drugs. They looked but never found it. They searched and discovered their search led them back, back to the place they started from, back to Christ. Back to the Christ who waits for us, who longs to teach us, to give us meaning, to be with us. We know where Christ is. Let us hasten there for Christ waits to teach us many things.

What a dream "IT" would be to live with Christ for Ever and Ever, Amen!
Hey Man and all spiritual cells of Christ and His Bride, I believe, would certainly all rejoice, would we not to find Eternal Happiness?
Is it not really something special to see Science and God working so closely together nowadays in order to find the meaning of “LIFE” but I also believe that we still all need to find at least the faith of a Jesus mustard seed in order to be able to see the combination of how each and everyone of our reality and spiritual cells work in our earthly godly process in order to become future Godly Children of “Our Heavenly Father’s Trinity”
All we need do is ask "Jesus The Christ" with a sincere heart to teach US and how could He ever decline our invitation?
God Bless,
